Top 10 Luxury Yacht Charters in Greece – Aegean Sea
The Aegean Islands of Greece are a cluster of idyllic islands just off the east coast of Greece’s mainland. Over the years, these islands have developed a reputation as some of the most beautiful holiday destinations in the world, with everything you could ever wish for on a trip: welcoming locals, fabulous food, stunning scenery, luxury hotels, natural wonders and plenty of man-made history to explore.
The Aegean Islands are broken up into seven main groups. There’s the Cyclades (home of stunning Santorini and Mykonos), the Dodecanese (where you’ll find Kos and Rhodes), the North Aegean Islands (Lesbos, Icaria and more), the Saronic Islands (home to Hydra and Poros), the Sporades (where you’ll find the popular destination of Skiathos), the Euboea (home to the lesser-known islands of Styra and Elafonisos), and finally Crete, the largest of the Greek islands. Phew! That’s a lot of islands. As you can imagine, with so many destinations to visit, luxury yacht charters in the Aegean Sea are incredibly popular!
If you’re planning a luxury yacht charter around these beautiful places, check out the top ten sailers, gulets and motor yachts available from East Med Yachting.
Aria I
The fabulous super yacht Aria I (Ex Regina) is actually a Hollywood star – she played a dazzling role in one of the best Bond movies to date, Skyfall, taking 007 (Daniel Craig) across the waves to a remote island, where he faced off with the film’s villain (Javier Bardem) for the first time. As you might expect for a boat chosen to star in such a high-profile film, you’ll experience total luxury from the moment you come aboard. With impeccable interiors, spacious decks and first-class service from your crew of eight, you’ll certainly feel like an A-list star.

As you might expect from a superyacht, every inch of this boat is tastefully and immaculately furnished, and you’ll find an array of special features to keep guests entertained, from the piano room and the fully-equipped gym to the glamorous saloon and Jacuzzi.
