There are several groups of islands in the Aegean sea. Greek yacht charters is a terrific way to explore them.

A popular group is called the Cyclades:

They are mainly volcanic and Santorini is a lovely example. Taking it’s name from Saint Irene. The island is a submerged volcano which boasts a caldera – stunning!

Hiring a sailboat is following in the ancient marble trade routes. Cut from the mountains of Paros and loaded on to ships. You can see the workmanship across the Aegean Sea even today! Look out for the lively center called Naoussa.

Naxos was ruled by the venetians and this has left a mark on the buildings. It is the largest island in the group of Cyclades. Crowned by MT Zas- being the tallest mountain in the islands.
