Sailing in spring - March, April and May


Spring in the Greece offers a unique magic, where the landscape of the Greek islands comes to life with vibrant colors and nature’s true essence is revealed. As the islands emerge from winter’s slumber resembling a rainbow, the season invites you to discover its hidden treasures. With mild temperatures and the chance to enjoy nature at your own pace, spring in Greece is perfect for combining sailing the Greek islands with activities such as walking, trekking, exploring whitewashed villages, or biking.


In spring, Greece and especially the Greek islands reveal a rare opportunity to connect deeply with both nature and the locals, whose slower pace offers a more intimate view of island life. April and May offer ideal conditions for relaxed sailing to the islands, as the weather is comfortable and the sun graces the islands with over 13 hours of daylight to make the most of your visit to Greece. This extra sunshine means plenty of time to enjoy the laid-back atmosphere and explore the islands at a slower pace, without the busy summer crowds. The scent of wildflowers fills the air, and the local life is calm and welcoming. With each day, you’ll uncover new experiences, from hidden coves to charming villages that stay true to their traditional roots.


Spring is also an excellent time for history lovers to explore the islands' fascinating sites. Spring sailing in the Cyclades promises a serene, authentic, and unforgettable experience.
