greek yachting

Greece yachting winds can be divided in two regions: the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea .

The Winds of the Aegean Sea , during the summer season, are called “Meltemi” and are present from May to September. They become particularly strong during July and August and their average duration is from 2 to 4 days.
The directions of the Meltemi vary depending on the region. The winds come from the NE in the North Aegean , from the North in Central Aegean and from the NW in the South Aegean .
The intensity of the Meltemi also depends on the region. For example, one of the strongest winds can be found in the Cycladic islands of Naxos and Paros , which attract every summer thousands of windsurfers and kite surfers.
The Ionian Sea Winds usually blow from the NW, during the summer season, and are called “Maistros”
