Greece: where historic ruins, volcanic cliffs, and friendly locals meet the blue Mediterranean Sea. My first trip to Greece was a summer adventure through Athens and Mykonos. I returned again to sail the Saronic Islands on The Yacht Week Greece, and then again to explore the Cyclades islands of Santorini, Milos, Paros, and Naxos!
There are some islands that are famous for their beaches and natural features, while others have a significant nightlife scene or strong cultural traditions. Mykonos is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Greek islands and is famed for its incredible beaches and world-renowned party scene.
