Sailing in Greece is a well-known way to spend your valuable vacation time. You should expect to enjoy clear waters, history, culture, beauty, sunny days and unique islands.
Greece islands and islets are more than 1200 to 6000 depending on the minimum size to take into account.
Most of the Greece islands are located in the Aegean Sea and are divided into the following clusters.
- The north Aegean islands
- The Sporades islands
- The islands of Argosaronico
- The Cyclades islands
- The Dodecanese islands
- The Ionian Sea has only one complex which is called the complex of the Ionian islands.
