Sailing holidays is the best way to experience the magic of Greece. You will have idyllic experiences that you will always remember…
Blue sea sunshine, gentle breezes filling the sails and warm hospitality greet you wherever you go. With over 2000 islands and a coast line dotted with tiny fishing villages, archaeological sites and peaceful bays, Greece is a sailing paradise.
Joining one of World Expeditions sailing holidays programmes means that you too will appreciate the charm of the Greek islands with a small group of like minded adventurers. You will share good times together and make friendships which may last a lifetime.
Reasonable price
You do not need to be a friend of the Onassis family to enjoy the pleasures of a Greek sailing holiday. Our prices are very reasonable especially when you consider the extremely high standard of yachts in our fleet.
I hope you can join us this season.

Greek Islands. ZAKYNTHOS (Zante)
December 4, 2007
Zakynthos is the southernmost and third largest in both size and population of the Ionian Islands. It is situated 8,5 nautical miles south of Kefalonia, 9,5 nautical miles west of the Peloponese and approximately 300 kilometres west of the capital of Greece, Athens.
An island full of contrasts, Zakynthos consists of mainly woodland, with an abundance of pine tree covered mountains and fertile plains.
In the north, east and south numerous picturesque beaches can be found, whereas in the west the imposing, rocky landscape has a number of sea caves such as the famous Blue Caves on the north-west of the island.
The climate in Zakynthos is mild Mediterranean with both heavy rainfall during the winter months and brilliant sunshine in the summer. The rich vegetation is probably due to this, and has resulted in the nicknames of Fior di Levante (Flower of the East) and Iliessa (full of woods) by the Venetians and Omiros respectively.
It is productive island agriculturally, supported mainly by the cultivation of olives, raisins, citrus fruits. Apart from this, the main source of local income is from the recently developed business of tourism. The island has a wealth of history as for many centuries it was the crossroads for numerous nations and cultures.
