Vacation Spots In Turkey 

Besides going to the famous beaches, there are other vacation spots in Turkey. We recommend a combination of both historical, architecture sightseeing and beach days.

Istanbul 

Istanbul is not the country’s capital, opposed to many beliefs- it’s Ankara. However, Istanbul is the largest and most populous city spreading over to continents, Asia and Europe. The capital of Byzantine and the Ottoman Empire offers a plethora of sights to satisfy the tourist eye and desire.

Istanbul Marina

Antalya

If Ankara is the country’s capital and Istanbul is the largest, then Antalya is the tourist capital. Located on the Turkish Riviera, on the Mediterranean coast, this city has a lot to offer! Not only does the city offer stunning beaches, but it also serves as a historical site, with the Hadrian’s Gate, a gate build to honor the Roman emperor, being one of the biggest historical attractions.

 

Antalya Beach

 

Kusadasi 

Kusadasi is much smaller than the ones mention above. This town, however, abounds with fantastic sandy beaches, clear water and definitely stands as tourists’ favorite spot in Turkey. If you ever get the chance, visit this charming town!

Vacation Spots On The Greek Islands 

Besides being the Cradle of Civilization, Greece is also known to be the Maldives of Europe. One might sit and wonder how come all this beauty was gathered in such a tiny space. Indeed, Greece is marvelous, so let’s go through some potential vacation spots on their islands.

Santorini 

Santorini is one of those places that make you feel like you are in a fairy tale. It is what is left from a massive volcano eruption as it lays on a caldera. The houses are all painted in blue and white, the colors of Greece. Combined with the clear and turquoise water of the southern Aegean See, you get the fairy tale effect!

Santorini Village

Mykonos 

Mykonos is a very old Greek settlement, mentioned long time ago. According to the Greek mythology, it was named after its first ruler, the son or grandson of Apollo, the God of the Sun. However, besides offering stunning views, clear water and sunny weather, it also includes many attractions. You will find the Mykonos Windmills charming and you will enjoy your time spent at Little Venice (Mikri Venetia)

Corfu 

Corfu is probably one of the first Greek islands to be opened for tourism, due to its traditional connection to Europe. It is one of the most popular Greek islands. The island offers dozens of beautiful beaches, however, the Old Town remains to be a great attraction as the Venetian architecture style suits everyone’s eye. With Ionian Islands being near buy, people tend to mix their Corfu holidays by visiting the island of Paxi, for example.

Corfu Crystal Clear Waters

Rhodes 

How does 300 sunny days per year sound like? Well, that’s what you get if you visit the island of Rhodes. Again, just like all Greek islands, this one offers amazing beaches and fairy tale atmosphere. However, the Rhodes Old Town is one of the best preserved towns from the Medieval. It is known for its romantic streets and famous strong walls with a great castle in the middle. Simply stunning!

A Complete Guide to Yacht Sailing on Greek Islands

There are more than three thousand Greek islands and islets which provide more than 15000 kilometres of coastline. This makes Greece the ideal destination for yacht sailing. You can explore the azure seas and the blue skies while exploring the area on your yacht. Here’s a list of the top 10 islands which you should not miss at any point, but apart from them there are others which you can also include in your itinerary while hopping from island to another.

Why you need your own Yacht?

“This is because having your own yacht means you can visit more island at your convenience, as you will be your own captain.”

This is because having your own yacht means you can visit more island at your convenience, as you will be your own captain. You can sleep in the yacht; your belongings will be inside the cabin, which you won’t get if you take the ferry.

You also get a fully equipped kitchen and refrigerator in a yacht.

You can stop whenever and wherever you want to take a swim, snack, and snorkel or just to relax. You can decide which island you want to visit and how much time you will stop there.

Where should you start?

If you are landing in Athens, you can start your sailing from Alimos Marina towards the Saronic area or Cyclades Islands. The Saronic Gulf may sound a bit boring as it’s not that popular but it is best for sailing as the area is sheltered, the winds are light, the destinations are closer and sailing hours are fewer per day and the choices are truly various, particularly if you are going to spend more than a week on your sailing vacation. You can visit Aigina, Hydra, Spetses, Poros, Agkistri, Ermioni, etc.

In case you want to move towards the Cyclades, it is suggested to spend more than a week’s time to explore it properly.

You can visit Lavrion, Syros, Mykonos and Paros islands including the famous Volcanic Island Santorini and Delos.

“It is suggested to spend more than a week’s time to explore it properly.”

You can also include the Ionian Islands in your sailing adventure and explore the Lefkas, Corfu and Preveza Island.

You can also explore Northern Greece, which is relatively undiscovered and covers areas like Thessaloniki, the Halkidiki peninsula and Kavala.

To explore the Sporades islands, Evia and Volos, you need to start either from Skiathos or from Volos. Sporades islands lie in the north Aegean coast region, near the peninsula of south Pelion Mountain. You can visit the three main islands here including the Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos. The area also has a sea park and marine sanctuary.

You can also visit the Dodecanese Islands, for which you need to start your yacht sailing from Rhodes or Kos.

You will not only explore these two main islands but also the Turkish Coast. Here you can witness a totally different Greece which is more influenced by the ancient Greeks, Venetians and Asia Minor.

All these places can be explored according to your schedule and preference only if you hire a yacht and the experience you will get from this will be unforgettable.

Sailing in the Greek islands is the best way to see its hidden treasures, which you can’t get to know while exploring them inland.
