Hi, I single-handed from southern Spain to Turkey last summer, with a brief
visit to Kos. Currently my boat is at Crete/Greece.
I would say best time of the year is September, low season charges, marinas
less crowded, weather still excellent.
You may experience some beating into the prevailing winds en route from Kos
to Athens.
I have experienced some unpredictable winds, both in strength and direction,
I frequently have a reefed main sail. People told me about the calm Med, and
lots of motoring, but that is not my 2005 season experience.
Enjoy your sailing!

Hi. My wife and I are thinking about a 4-week cruise from Kos to Athens
in June. We have sailed throughout BVI and in the New York area, but
this would be our longest bareboat to-date. Does anyone have experience
and/or information about the best charter companies, times of the year,
and level of difficulty we are likely to experience in Greece?
Appreciate any tips/advice.
Thanks very much for any pointers!
