The Greek Islands, a sprawling archipelago with over 6,000 islands and a coastline exceeding 13,000 kilometers, are a sailing paradise from May to October. This period brings the Meltemi winds—northwesterly breezes averaging 15-20 knots—perfect for a classic sailing yacht like the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44i. This vessel, measuring 13.4 meters with a beam of 4.37 meters, accommodates 6-8 guests with its spacious cockpit, modern rigging, and deep keel for stability. A typical itinerary begins in Athens at Marina Zea, sailing south to the Saronic Gulf’s Hydra for its car-free charm, then to Paros with its golden beaches, and finally Santorini for iconic sunsets over volcanic calderas.
