Hire a Boat in Alimos – Sailing Holidays at the Best Rates

Yacht Charter Alimos

Hire a yacht at one of the top sailing destinations in Greece - the beautiful Alimos!

The charming municipality is part of the spectacular capital of the country, Athens, and is the cradle of Western civilisation. With its vibrant and diverse history, Alimos and the whole city of Athens are a place where you must hire a boat and sail around.

The old sailing town of Athens is dotted with many beautiful monuments and world-famous pieces of art. Many treasures fill the Athenian museums and territory.

Athens is rich in art and archaeological finds, and even the marble metro stations are used for exhibitions. Besides, the sailing sights, the turquoise-blue water, and the laid-back, friendly atmosphere will transport you to another world!

 

Climate in Alimos

The very stable climate in Greece ensures that the seawater is pleasantly warm in the spring and the summers are long, warm and dry.

In the Ionian Sea, an average wind of 3 to 4 Beaufort can be measured. In other areas, such as the Cyclades, the Saronic Gulf or the Sporades, the wind is on average 1 to 2 Beaufort more.

The summertime starts from June till mid-September, when hot temperatures begin to emerge. However, the tourist season starts in April. This means that you can charter a yacht and start your sailing holiday in May.

Depending on the month you are sailing in, the temperatures are either hot or a bit moderate. But the sunny weather will be all day, every day!

 

Sailing Destinations Around Alimos

Alimos has a very strategic location, allowing you to hire a boat and explore many wonderful destinations!

 

Cyclades

From Athens or the port of Lavrion, you can rent a yacht and explore the beauty of the Cyclades!

Situated southeast of Greece, in the Aegean Sea, the Cyclades comprise more than 200 islands that form a circle around the main island of Delos. As you hire a boat, you have endless possibilities for exploration and adventure.

 

Saronic Gulf

Aegean Sea

Apart from the perfect sailing conditions, the many islands also make this area a prime yachting destination for the curious explorer.

The Aegean Sea is a wondrous island paradise that was the inspiration for one of the best adventure stories in history: Homer’s Odyssey.

Although you will find no Cyclops, Charybdis, or evil Sirens, the sunny islands offer you countless possibilities for exciting adventures, memorable visits, and breathtaking sights. Millions of tourists every year have their sailing holiday around the islands of the Aegean Sea.

 

The Sailing License in Alimos

For sailing in Greece, the experience is often enough to hire a yacht.

However, it may be that some landlords ask for a boat license 2. Throughout the years, many modifications have been made to the boating policy.

For this reason, when you rent a yacht on your own, it is crucial always to indicate which certificates you have.

 

What to Wear on a Sailing Holiday in Alimos?

As mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the summer in Greece is pretty hot.

For this reason, the packing list should include light clothes and a light jacket for the cooler nights (if you experience any). Other important things for the luggage are sunglasses, as well as a hat and light sandals. Stable trainers are also needed if you are planning to hike.
