14d Greece charter :Athens - as far as possible - Athens???

step one: go to this website and read through it, especially the suggested itineraries..http://www.sailingissues.com/

Setp two: use the link on that website to contact Diederik and tell him what you are planning and ask him for advice, especially the night sailing questions. He is hooked into most of the reputable Charter companies and can answer most questions you may have.

He has been extremely helpful to myself and many other sailors.

I would also try to find a copy of "The Greek Waters Pilot" by Rod Heikell

Those two resources are about the best you can do as far as sailing...now, if you have questions regarding food and wines in the area, just post another message under "general discussion" and you will get people arguing over where to find the best crepes (Mykonos), wines (Santorini), saganaki (fried cheese to die for in Athens), olives (any where from the Peloponnisos to Delphi)...vendors have tables set up where you can buy literally 50 different kinds of olives and most of them are good.

The time frame is the same as when I did it and the weather was perfect!
