Hi Segerson,
I recommend starting your Med experience in Greece. If you charter from Kalamaki (near to Athens city) you should perhaps avoid the nearer Saronic Gulf and press on to the Aegean Islands. I note that Vernicos Yachts now have a base at Lavrion, near Sounion, a much better jumping off point for the islands and nearer the new Athens airport.
Vernicos, Sunsail, Cosmos, Kiriacoulis and Moorings all offer excellent service and well maintained boats. Check their web sites for dates/prices.
I also recommend you avoid GPSC (see Message Board, ''Chartering in Greece'').
