of Mykonos with its amazing south bays, down to Koufonisia island and to Polyaigos Cave (SW from Koufonisia,) are some of the islands where hidden little bays can protect you from the ‘Meltemi’ wind and at the same time you can enjoy swims as if you were your own private pool.” Mourat Bourinakis, Manager at Mouratti Marine also advises sticking to the wind -protected regions of Greece.


GOOD TO KNOW There are no changes in legislation this year affecting cruising in Greek waters since the upheaval in 2018. As Kostas at Alpha Marine Group explains, “Practically all


foreign flagged commercial yachts


cannot commence or finish any charter in Greece, so no embarkation/disembarkation of guests is allowed during their charters in Greek waters. For private yachts a Greek Cruising permit has to be issued upon their arrival and then they can smoothly


cruise around the Greek islands. An Agency such as ours, Alpha Marine Group, is always recommended for any type of yachts, as the proper documentation formalities have to be carried out in accordance with the Greek legislation otherwise severe penalties will be imposed.”


Yachts also need to remember that they need Greek Third Party Liability Insurance, especially issued for Greece, stating the coverage amount according to the Greek Law (4256/14). This is an adjustment to insurance, not an extra charge. Bourinakis warns of the new cruising tax due for implementation on 2nd April, which requires private and commercial yachts to pay an 8 euro per metre tax during their stay in Greek waters.
