The Ionian Islands stretching out from the west of the mainland are the veritable jewels in Greece’s crown, each boasting its own precious personality. For those looking for a blissful getaway, escape to the Halkidiki or dive deep into hidden caves of the Ionian islands. Marvel at the other-worldly wonder of the infamous Melissini cave, Kefalonia, as you follow in the footsteps of ancient Greek nymphs. Beautiful waters with changing shades of blue and countless stalactites will take your breath away as you are transported to another world.

If adventure is in your nature, Kefalonia is the perfect spot to test-ride the toys aboard your yacht whether you choose to discover the raw beauty of this island with a kayak, of set off in a cloud of ocean spray on a thrill-seeker’s jet ski adventure.

Sublime sights to see

Few moments in the world can compare with the pleasure of a Santorini sunset, experienced from the top deck of your very own superyacht. Famed for its frothy pink sunsets, visitors often cling to the overcrowded cliffside of Oia to catch the view – but with a private yacht charter, you’ll have a front-row seat as the sky changes behind the teal blue domes of Greece’s most romantic destination.

The Mama Mia island of Skopelos is the land of mystery, mountains, monasteries -some dating back to the 15th century. Fall in love with the local culture of the place; where the sun beams down onto white pebble beaches, and privacy is in abundance for the jet set wanting to escape prying eyes.

Rhodes and Athens are a gateway to untold stories of Greece’s epic past where ancient ruins and blissful sandy bays provide the perfect backdrop for a romantic travel experience. Rhodes may be the largest of the Greek Islands, but it’s also a port of call for yacht charter guests craving a slice of ancient life. The island stands majestically beneath the weight of ruins; from the Palace of the Grand Masters to the soaring walls of the Medieval Old Town, and the awe-inspiring ancient Lindos Acropolis.
