No wonder the Mediterranean region is a popular destination amongst travellers, as its natural features, wonderful beaches, the boat trips offered and the climate make the area a very pleasant one. This article lists all the important information that is worth noting for anyone who would like to visit the region.
Facts about the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean Sea is surrounded by three continents: Europe from the North, Asia from the East and Africa from the South. It might be a surprising fact that its territory is nearly 2, 520, 000 km2, and the length of its coastline is close to 46, 000 kilometers .
Countries of the Mediterranean region:
Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus
Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel (and the Gaza Strip)
Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco
Larger islands of the Mediterranean:
Cyprus, Rhodes, Lesbos, Crete, the Maltese Islands, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Menorca, Mallorca, Ibiza. There are several great countries and islands located in the Mediterranean region. If we are planning on renting a boat, there are numerous spots to discover while we can spend plenty of time on the Mediterranean Sea. A wide variety of options are available, and we might want to get informed about all the different opportunities in advance; making a round trip on a crewed yacht we own might be the most exciting activity.
Geographical features of the Mediterranean
We are dealing with a versatile but contrasting area with dozens of sights that are worth visiting from a geographical point of view. High mountains, rocky shores, waterfalls, forests, and a desert – all the treasures nature has to offer. We can cruise through the shores of several countries on well-organized trips. The area has many ports, the list of which can be found above our information section, under the Mediterranean maps tab.
The climate of the Mediterranean
The region has a Mediterranean climate . Winters are usually mild, but a certain amount of precipitation may be expected during this period. Summers are hot and dry. The mean annual temperature is around 14°C, but even in the coldest months, the temperature never drops below 0°C. During such periods the average temperature is 4°C. This is the reason why the region is a perfect destination during all seasons. We should seek information on the weather of the chosen countries in order to have a smooth holiday.
The gastronomy of the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean region’s sailing paradise has especially diverse gastronomy. You can just rent a boat and start exploring the Adriatic while enjoying culinary adventures at the same time. Besides sailing, swimming and cultural programs, food is also very important. Seafood is popular, but the fact that the Croatians and the Greeks love meat and the Italians are passionate about pasta and delicious wines makes the region even more ideal for lunch or dinner. Visit as many countries as you can, and dive into the local gastronomy.
Traveling in the Mediterranean
As there are several countries and shores located along the Mediterranean Sea, we can choose from various opportunities to reach our destination. Browsing through the flights offered by the different airlines, we may get very cheap tickets if we book on time. We can consider going by car or taking a train between two countries; however, the greatest experience is exploring by renting a boat. This way the travel itself becomes an experience of a lifetime, and we will be able to see places that we couldn’t discover any other way.
Crewed yacht charter in the Mediterranean
Yacht charter in the mediterranean – the main seasons.
It is a great experience to take our boat out in the Mediterranean region; the sailing season is very long thanks to the mild weather. We will give you a brief overview of the seasons different characteristics and the spots that you should definitely visit. In our article, we will provide you with more details below.
In the autumn
If you do not insist on visiting in the hottest period, the autumn season is perfect for exploring the Mediterranean region as there are no large crowds and the temperatures are also milder. You should still be careful, as the weather often becomes unpredictable in the spring and autumn, combined with strong winds from time to time. During this time, it is safer to stay close to the marinas.
In the winter
In the winter, it is recommended to monitor the weather forecast due to the variable conditions and frequent storms. In this season, the most popular Spanish cities are Valencia, Barcelona and Cartagena. The latter is a perfect starting point when exploring the Balearic Islands, France and Corsica. Licata and Marina di Ragusa are two very popular destinations on the largest island of the Mediterranean Sea: Sicily. Read more about Sicily sailing , and Spain sailing .
In the Spring
The region of the Mediterranean Sea is beautiful in the autumn, and it is also very peaceful around here during this time. In this period, we suggest that you head towards Croatia, Greece, Sicily, Sardinia or the Balearic Islands. In Greece, we particularly recommend visiting Lefkada – belonging to the Ionian Islands – in the west. The town of Préveza in the southwest and the famous island of Crete are also excellent choices. Read more about Croatia sailing , Greece sailing , and sailing in Sardinia .
In the summer
When summer is approaching, many people sail on the Mediterranean Sea; the busiest months are July and August. Sardinia is among the most popular sailing destinations ; the northern and northeastern parts are rich in anchorages, even though they can still get full in the summer. There is a strong summer wind present on the island, so it is recommended to sail counter-clockwise. Would you prefer to avoid large crowds? Spain and France, as well as the southern part of Sardinia, Tunisia, the northern part of the Aegean Sea, and the Peloponnese, are all considered quiet regions.

Your Sailing Area
Saronic islands, greece.
With easy access from the mainland airport of Athens, Zorba will set the sails and head straight for the Saronic Islands as you spend the next week under sail, discovering all that the islands have to offer. Your route will entirely depend on the wind and weather and also the feeling of all the guests onboard.
As well as a plethora of uninhabited islands that make for great remote escapes off the beaten track and away from the tourist hustle and bustle; the islands also consist of the inhabited main islands of Aegina, Agistri and Poros. The islands of Hydra and Dokos are also sometimes included in this archipelago.
From afternoon anchorages on remote islands perfectly lined with crystal coves for swimming and snorkelling to the very best, tried and tested tavernas on the main islands, there won’t be time to see it all and you’ll be longing to return before you’ve even stepped foot off the boat.
Greek Island Highlights
Each island certainly has its own personality and although all of them showcase the very best of Greek hospitality, they cater for all ages and interests. The UNESCO heritage site of the ancient theatre in Epidavros is a bucket list visit for many and one that we highly recommend. Whilst on this coast, the sunken city of Epidavros is also worth a snorkel. Onto the island of Aegina and the architectural wonders of the ancient city of Temple of Aphaia impressively built on the hill – also known as Pistachio Island. The Saronic showpiece has to be Hydra with its ancient port carefully lined with well-preserved stone houses rising from a chic, history-charged harbour. Known as t he jewel of the Saronic’s Hydra has no car traffic so donkeys are the best way to get around!
The Temple of Poseidon sits on the southerly point of mainland Greece and is definitely worth the sail over as it sits towering over the anchorage with the impressive view. The small fishing village of Perdika is where you can find the nicest people in the world and our secret harbour (with one family-run taverna and no shop) that can fit only 7 boats!
All voyages for Zorba
Guest berths: 9 Rig: Sloop
Zorba lives up to her name as she takes guests on unforgettable, authentically Greek sailing holidays!
Zorba is a modern and comfortable Beneteau Cyclades 50.5. She has five private cabins for guests, made up with four doubles and one twin bunk cabin ; all share 3 bathrooms with showers. With a generous saloon and a well-equipped galley, Zorba was built with charter and guest comfort at the forefront of her design. With a dropped transom and outdoor seating area at the stern, Zorba gives guests the perfect access to that crystal clear Mediterranean water!
A sailing holiday in Greece with Zorba is accessible to all ages and abilities. Her simple rig makes her an easy sail with winch systems and modern navigation equipment. That being said, she’s a great boat to sail whether you’re an experienced sailor looking for some sunshine or a novice wanting to try something new.
Her owners and skippers absolutely love what they do and that’s very evident for guests to see and even better to experience first hand. They are well tuned to all abilities and ages, from family charters with young children to groups of friends or voyages for couples and solo travellers. They tailor every trip to suit their guests needs so if you simply want to sit back, enjoy the Mediterranean sunshine and enjoy the cuisine of the local tavernas – that’s fine too!
A sailing holiday on Zorba is certainly one that will leave you with long-lasting memories. Read more about what to expect from Life on Board Zorba here.
Sailing with Zorba in Greece will leave long-lasting memories and more than likely see you longing to return. A modern Beneteau Cyclades 50.5, Zorba is owned and managed by Aga and Greg, who share a real passion for Greece both from the water and on the land. Comfortable, relaxed, and offering an abundance of sunshine sailing, Zorba is the perfect yacht to show guests a truly authentic sailing holiday in Greece.
A typical Day
After a relaxed breakfast, spend a few hours sailing before anchoring up in crystal clear waters to explore historical ruins ashore, sunbathe or snorkel away the afternoon. Hoist the sails again to find a new spot for the night before enjoying dinner ashore in a traditional Greek Taverna, specially hand-picked by Aga and Greg.
Getting involved
Your sailing holiday in Greece is truly as you make it. Zorba is a fun and simple boat to sail and can be sailed by Greg alone if guests prefer a more relaxing experience. That being said, the larger Saronic Gulf gives some great winds for sailing for those wanting to learn the ropes in a safe and supported environment. Greg used to be a sailing instructor so he loves to share his knowledge and skill with guests. From knot tying to basic navigation, taking the helm and reading the local charts, guests are welcome to get involved as much or as little as they’d like.
Read more about what to expect from a typical day on the water with Zorba and what to expect from life onboard.
The price also reflects the half board nature of this holiday as explained in Zorba’s life on board section . Breakfast and lunch are included but you will dine out in traditional tavernas for your evening meals. This is at the cost of the guest, but you’ll find a delicious local spread for as little as 15€ per person – and that even includes the wine! There is also a board cash of €250pp payable upon arrival that covers fuel, marina fees and water per person. This is reflected in the ticket price advertised and is based purely on the economics of Greece still being such a cash based society.
From solo travellers to couples to groups of families or friends, there is something for everyone on this sailing adventure. Take Zorba for a whole yacht charter in Greece with your friends and family, or join as a couple looking to make new memories and friends from all over the world. Swim, snorkel and make use of the boat SUP, which are all included in your ticket price!
Zorba has limited space for possessions, so please be considerate and travel as light as possible. There is no storage for rigid cases, so please bring your items in a soft bag or rucksack.
We recommend a travelling light principal with lots of lightweight, easy-drying layers. Below is a list of recommended items, these are not mandatory and those that have sailed before may have their own preferences!
- Light shoes/trainers (with good grip)
- Flip flips, sandals OR Crocs
- Swimsuits and a swim towel
- Wash towel – micro fibres are great for lightweight and quick-drying
- Lightweight, quick-dry clothes
It can be quite a few degrees colder out at sea so please bring layers even if the forecast seems like a warm week!
- Warm, windproof and waterproof coat
- Sun cream (please use reef safe, eco products where possible)
- Sunglasses and a sun hat/cap
- Small personal first aid kit and any medication you may need
- Camera/binoculars
- Personal wash kit (please use reef safe, eco products where possible)
- Swim shoes to ensure you dodge those pesky Greek sea urchins…!
- Cash – EUROS. Greece is still a heavily cash-based society
- Charging cables for personal devices and EU 2pin adaptor for use in cabins (there are 12v USB sockets to charge devices during the day by the chart table if needed)
- A good book to read!
- Consider a small backpack/bag for onshore exploring
SAMPLE MENU FOR Zorba
Please note that this is an example of what you may be served. Aga will be your host and main chef although guests tend to get involved with all aspects of life on board Zorba. Aga will go shopping on the first day and welcomes guests to join her so everyone’s preferences can be considered.
- Selection of tea, freshly ground coffee and fruit juices
- Fruits with nuts, oats, coconut with fresh Greek yoghurt, honey and eggs.
- Typical Greek salad with fresh feta; tzatziki with bread; local goat cheese and figs
