The sailing license in Greece

For sailing in Greece, the experience is often enough to rent a yacht. However, it may be that some landlords ask for boat license 2. Throughout the years, many modifications were made for the boating policy. For this reason, when you rent a yacht on your own, it is crucial always to indicate which certificates you have.
