Cruising in Greece offers a cost-effective alternative to the Caribbean, characterized by accessible town quays, rich historical sites, and affordable dining. A 37-foot vessel can secure a berth at most town quays for 18 to 20 euros per night, while cruising permits for boats under 18 meters cost approximately 100 to 200 euros for three months. Unlike the Caribbean, where anchoring is standard, Greek cruising relies heavily on "med-mooring," a technique involving dropping an anchor and backing to a seawall or quay. While intimidating to beginners, med-mooring allows for higher boat density in popular bays and villages. The Ionian Islands, particularly around Lefkas, serve as a primary hub for charter and private vessels. Sailors should anticipate crowded conditions from June through September, necessitating early afternoon arrivals to secure dock space. Non-European sailors must also manage the 90-day Schengen zone visa limit. While Greek waters are crystal clear, they remain chilly until late June.
