With so many Mediterranean sailing holiday destinations, where do I begin to look?
It’s true—the Mediterranean is packed with incredible sailing options, each appealing in its own special way. From the history-rich coastlines of Greece and Italy to the stunning islands of Croatia and the turquoise bays of Turkey, you're spoiled for choice. The key is to match your destination to your group’s interests, sailing experience, and timing.
Start by asking yourself:
- What kind of experience are we after? Island-hopping, cultural exploration, quiet coves, or vibrant nightlife?
- What time of year do we want to travel? The Med sailing season runs from May to October, with each month offering different pros and cons.
- How experienced is our crew? Some regions, like the Ionian Islands or the Dalmatian Coast, are ideal for first-timers. Others, like the Cyclades, can be more challenging.
At Sail Connections, we help you narrow the field by considering your sailing level, budget, and travel logistics. Whether you're drawn to the romantic Amalfi Coast, the cultural gems of the Balearics, or the variety of the Greek Islands, we'll recommend destinations—and boats—that suit you best.
