Sailing areas

ARGO-SARONIC-PELOPONNESE

ARGO-SARONIC-PELOPONNESE

The Argo-Saronic route from Athens marina is recommended for easy sailing or for shorter periods of charter as the islands are close together and well protected by the Attica peninsula to the north and the Peloponnese to the west.
CYCLADES ISLANDS

CYCLADES ISLANDS

One of the most popular island groups in Greece, this area is generally recommended mainly for experienced sailors, or for skippered charters, especially during the high season months, June - September, when the `meltemi` winds from the north east can make sailing difficult with high waves and strong gusts.
IONIAN ISLANDS

IONIAN ISLANDS

The Ionian islands are popular with family sailing groups and flotillas due to the calm and predictable conditions. They can be divided into two clear sections: the north Ionian, starting base Corfu, and the south Ionian, starting from Lefkas, Preveza or Kefalonia. Two weeks is required to properly explore both areas quite well, but a one week itinerary allows for a gentle exploration of each area by sea.
VOLOS & SPORADES ISLANDS

VOLOS & SPORADES ISLANDS

Still relatively undiscovered, the Sporades islands are among the greenest in Greece with some of the best beaches and traditional lifestyles, while the gulf of Volos also offers many ideal anchorages and small fishing ports. Ideal for all levels of sailor as the winds are generally moderate and sailing distances quite short, but there are more challenging routes for the intrepid sailor too.
DODECANESE ISLANDS

DODECANESE ISLANDS

The twelve islands of the Dodecanese are located in the south east Aegean along the Turkish coast, with embarkation ports in Kos and Rhodes. Steady winds throughout most of the summer afford ideal sailing conditions for intermediate to experienced sailors, while novice sailors families and flotilla groups can enjoy secure anchorages in this historically rich archipelago.
CHALKIDIKI & the NORTH AEGEAN

CHALKIDIKI & the NORTH AEGEAN

There is still much to discover in the north east Aegean and around Chalkidiki. With sailing bases from Kavala, Thessaloniki and Chalkidiki, its possible to choose a variety of sailing itineraries with beautiful bays, green landscapes, pebbly beaches, fishing villages and much traditional culture and history. Ideal for all levels of sailing ability.

Why charter a yacht in Greece

Why charter a yacht in Greece

There is really no better way to have a holiday in Greece. Since ancient times, the Aegean and Ionian seas have been a major part of the myths of Jason, Odysseus and many others still inspire us today. Greece is home to some of the world’s most beautiful islands and remote beaches, many of which are only accessible by boat. The question, really, is no why, but why not? Read more

Who we are

Odyssey Sailing is a family run yacht charter agency based in Volos, an important commercial city in central mainland Greece, enclosed by the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Volos (Pagasitikos) and close to the Sporades islands (Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos and the smaller islands of the national marine park), the Pelion peninsula and the island of Evia. The area was made famous by the film musical Mamma Mia, filmed in these parts. Now with regular flights from many European cities direct to Volos airport, and an increasing number of idyllic anchorages and tranquil bays, more and more people are discovering this relatively unspoilt and delightful sailing area. For those flying via Athens, Thessaloniki or Skiathos we can arrange direct transfers to the port. Read more
