Filed under: Travel Vacation — Tags: , , — islands @ 10:01 am



ve visiting Greece and primarily Greek Islands? If so, you are for certain not alone. Each year, millions of individuals take a trip to Greek Islands to enjoy the Aegean Sea and everything that it has to make available. Although it is excellent to love Greek Islands from the coast, you may wish to think about taking it a step further. You may want to think about actually love the sea water, from a vessel. There are two options. Either cruising or one of the best vessels to do this is a privately chartered yacht.

Visiting by sea the Greek Islands conjures visions of deep blue skies, clear azure sea, breathtaking scenery, white villages, wonderful nightlife, dining in seaside taverns and nothing compares to the convenience and excitement one feels.

Going by sea there are many and various options, first of all there is self-sail, bare boating or bareboat chartering, which means that you will have to skipper the yacht yourself and no hired skipper, cook or hostess will be onboard. Chartering gives you a freedom, which no other vacation and can make available.

Greece has many sailing areas to decide from depending on your preference for wind conditions, scenery, cultural historic interest, and nightlife. The Aegean Sea Winds usually blow during the summer season, from May to September, but they are mostly known for the months of July and August.

Greece offers more than 2.000 islands and islets of which only the 169 are inhabited, each and every one of them handout unexpected beauty, delight and many beaches only accessible by boat. The most beautiful itineraries are the Ionian Water, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, the Sporades or the Northern Greece area.

In Greece sail vacations are considered the most fulfilling way to discover the beauty and splendor of her coastlines and islands. Sailing holidays are often organized by companies who are based in other countries and have few or no Greek personnel or representatives. Whatever your penchant for yacht charters, Greece will meet or beat your expectations giving you a vacation like none other.

When it comes to shipping a private yacht, there are many individuals who automatically get yachts confused with boats. While they do have a few small similarities, there are quite a few differences. Before you go about charting a private yacht, you are urged to know the difference between a private yacht and a private boat. For the most part, yachts are equipped with cabins under the deck. These cabins not only contain sleeping quarters, but bathrooms, kitchens, and small dining rooms. This is what makes a yacht larger than most traditional boats, because boats do not have all of the previously mentioned amenities.

Due to the fact that yachts are often compared to small apartments or hotel rooms, they are perfect for those looking to take a long, extended trip, as they can offer guest exactly what they need. Due the size of most yachts, you will also find that they accommodate more travellers. That is why the charting of a private yacht is ideal for those who are looking for a marvelous family vacation, because most have enough room to accommodate even a large sized family.

If you are interested in charting a private yacht for your next romantic getaway, family vacation, or business travel, you will need to find a private yacht chartering company. For the best chance of success, you are urged to use the internet. However, it is not uncommon for your local travel agent to also have know-how on private yacht companies, specially those that come highly rated and recommended.

After after all Yachting in Greece is consider the most unforgettable vacation experience, and the cost for such an experience is also affordable. Following are some prices for different rentals for your consideration. Generally Price varies as same is calculated according to distance and fuel consumption of engine (s).

Prices are per 2-days (minimum hire) and an on-site cash payment of Euros 45 per booking to be made to cover Yacht Damage Waiver, Cleaning and Fuel. Price is: US $1510 or 1680 euro per person sharing double cabin Singles Supplement: US $1890 or 2100 euro, if single occupancy cabin on boat is required Included in the price are the following: Price is: US $990 or 1100 euro per person sharing double cabin Singles Supplement: US $1240 or 1375 euro, if single occupancy cabin on boat is required Included in the price are the following.

Prices for super luxury yachts are in the region of eight to ten thousand Euros a day-but yachts this size are fully staffed with crew and sleep between four and six couples, so the price of shipping is comparable to the price of a suite at a super luxury resort.

Not such an impossible dream as one would think, anymore hiring a yacht for a sail round the Greek islands is available from yacht charter companies situated in the capita, or local Islands. Anything from a day to a week or month, yacht hire is one of the fastest growing aspects of the hospitality industry and while you’re here, why not love a sail? Bare boats or crewed vessels, engine or mast, a variety to suit the variation of the many Islands in Greek sea.

Zakynthos Greece Or Zante Island, What Is The Relation With The Loggerhead Turtles

Filed under: Travel Vacation — Tags: , , — islands @ 2:55 pm



The southernmost of Greece’s Ionian Islands, Zakynthos Island, also called as Zante is known for currants and flowers. It has also been said that the island is the place rich of Byzantine and medieval history as Homer had first mentioned. It is the home of the endangered loggerhead turtle, which is then protected by the National Marine Park.

Zakynthos is the third largest and the southernmost island that is a member to the Greek Ionian Islands. It has 123 kilometers of coastline and is sometimes referred to as Zante Greece. The island houses a varied terrain which starts with the fertile plains of the southeast and has moutainous west coasts with steep cliffs that adds up to the dramatic feel with carved out natural arches and a number of sea caves. In the north of the island, you can find pine covered mountains that roll out into the lush, gentle, richly planted central regions. Beaches with campgrounds can be found to the north, east and southern part of the island, too!

The island has a mild Mediterranean climate that has plenty of rainfall, the reason why Zakynthos has dense vegetation. It has produce such as citrus fruits, olives, grapes and almonds which are all cultivated. Yet, the island is best known for currants, which are dried form of a seedless grape native to the island.

Zakynthos is also popular for its flowers. The mounds of blossoms never fail to delight visitors when visiting the island as it filled the warm air with perfumes wafting on breezes.

During Neolithic times, Zakynthos has already been inhabited. That being said when Stone Age sites have been discovered during archaeological digs. It has been a crossroads for many cultures and has first been mentioned in the time of Homer. Homer has repeatedly mentioned the island in his works like The Iliad and The Odyssey. It was Homer too that informed us of the inhabitants of the island. It has been said that during the time of Homer’s writing, the King of Troy and his followers inhabited the island at around 1600 BC.

It was according to legend that it was in 34 AD that the island was Christianized by either St Beatrice or Mary Magdalene.

The island has a fair share of being built and rebuilt. The pirates raided its shores during the Byzantine Period. Then, the island has been captured and recaptured during the Crusades which made the island suffer from hardships. In 1953, a massive earthquake had made the old structures collapsed. Yet, frescos and icons that survived during the tragedy has been salvaged, collected and are now on display in the island’s Byzantine Museum.

However, it is not only the human’s history that held importance of the island. Zakinthos has also been the home of loggerhead turtles, which are now known to be endangered.

With its uneven triangular shape, the island bears two mountains which created the huge sheltered Laganas Bay. Another nearby bay is called the Geraka. The beaches found in the two bays are known to be the reproduction sites of the loggerhead turtles. And in June as well as August, it has been reported that up to 1000 female loggerhead turtles come ashore and lay eggs at night. The eggs are then buried in the sand to be incubated in the warmth of approximately 55 days. The eggs will then be hatched and baby turtles return to the sea. Then, after 20 to 30 years, these same baby turtles, particularly the females, will return to the exact beach to lay their eggs also.

It has been said that it was due to the human behavior that loggerhead turtles become endangered. A number of visitors have been reported to be pulling out their deck chairs onto the beaches without even knowing that eggs are being incubated underneath the sand. Pollution has also claimed to be one of the reasons why the population of such species has declined. That is why the Greek government decided to establish the National Marine Park of Zakynthos in the beautiful waters of Laganas Bay, to be able to protect the habitat of these loggerhead turtles as they have been a long-time resident of the island. Therefore, when you visit Greece, do not forget to stop by and discover the beautiful island of Zakynthos.
