See Europe from a Sailboat

Summer is underway and the perfect vacation is not unobtainable. With the rich culture of Europe, sailing on the coastlines of the Mediterranean Sea offers a truly unparalleled experience. Along the coastlines, at each port there is breathtaking architecture, fine cuisine, and exquisite art. Discover Europe like no other will by sailing through gorgeous cerulean waters.

The first stop is the ancient secrets of the Greek Islands. Greece is home to four seas and over a thousand different islands. A multitude of hidden coves are ideal for unearthing the quintessence of the Mediterranean. There is an unforgettable landscape with the villages, white, scattered across the mountanous coastline. The islands are closely grouped and therefore a different coastline to cruise is not far away. Drop the boat anchor in Athens and enjoy an authentic Greek salad while enjoying a steady breeze on the sailboat.

The hidden gem of Europe is the coastlines of Croatia. Along the 3107 miles of Adriatic coastline, there is a nice mild summer climate, curious villages, and lovely historical towns. Dock at innumerous harbors in the country’s thousands of islands. The landscape offers lofty mountains and magnificent waterfalls. The southern region of Dalmatia is rich with history. The best time to visit these coastlines is now, just as the high season kicks off in July and August.

Italy is without a doubt one of the biggest tourist capitals in the world. Covering over 5000 miles the coastline is definitely neverending. While summer can be extremely busy on the west coast in the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Sea, there should not be any foreseeable problems if advance bookings are made for a berth there. There better be a fishing pole and bait in the stock of boat supplies aboard because in Sicily there are ample waters for fishing. The islands offer excellent hiking opportunities and breathtaking volcanoes in the scenery. The Italian coastline simply cannot be fully enjoyed in only two weeks, as there is much to see and do.

France arguably offers the finest cuisine in Europe. The chic culture of the Cote d’Azur region offers a chance to sit champagne and reflect while docked at a harbor in Nice. Nearby, the famous Cannes Film Festival is held annually in Cannes and draws a big crowd of Hollywood celebrities and influential people. In the Western Mediterranean, untouched by tourists, there is the secluded island of Corsica which has a timeless quality about it.

With dozens of countries to visit, there is scarcely enough time to see all that this region of the world has. The Mediterranean climate imparts hot dry summers and cool wet winters on its residents. Being on a sailboat in the Mediterranean Sea is unequivocally a once in a lifetime journey. The real summer is just about to begin, and the waters of the Mediterranean beckon sailors
