Looking for the best places to visit in Greece this summer? Look no more, we have the inside scoop on the 7 most beautiful places to visit in Greece from first-hand experience!

Sailing holidays in Greece are one of the most adventurous and unique ways to explore the many captivating Greek islands. And many must-see places are only accessible by boat and other hidden gems to be discovered only by sea. So, here are our prime picks for the 7 most beautiful places to visit in Greece!

Explore the Paxos Blue Caves

Imagine swimming through sparkling turquoise water into a cathedral-sized cave with sunshine pouring through the ceiling. Sounds pretty epic right? Better yet, imagine being anchored right next to a handful of these caves and spending the day paddleboarding through them and relaxing with your mates beneath these mind-blowing wonders of nature.

THIS is the Paxos Blue Caves and THAT could be you on a lunch swim stop on our MedSailors Ionian route. Trust us, there’s nothing quite like it and it’s one of those “ya gotta see it to believe it” kind of experiences the ‘gram can’t do justice.

Wander the Laneways of Hydra

How does a fab day getting lost in the labyrinth of laneways in one of the most beautiful places to visit in Greece sound? Pristine white and blue Greek villas are carved into the steep hillsides of the island of Hydra. This is one of the most historically important islands in Greece and a hotspot even for mainland Greeks in the summer.

Spend the day exploring this storied getaway of famous authors and poets and soak up some rays on one of the cliffhanger cocktail bars. Don’t forget to lose yourself in the labyrinth of shop-filled lanes or take a dip in the bay when it’s time to escape the sun.

Enjoy the Private Paradise of Iggy Beach

Wouldn’t it be awesome to have you and a group of awesome people anchored up to a secluded private sandy beach all to yourselves? Add in a sizzling barbecue, ice-cold drinks, and rip-roaring water sports to get your adrenaline fix in before an outdoor feast and a bonfire at night.

Sounds good? This is Iggy Beach, one stop on the MedSailors Ionian route that has you and the rest on board take over a beach for a day and night. Disconnect from the world, connect with the crews and get your “chill vibes” tunes ready.

Spectacular Sights Await in Spetses

Fancy exploring hidden caves or cruising along stunning coastline to find a perfect spot to relax for the day? The island of Spetses on MedSailors Saronic route is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Greece. Tantalising tavernas hug the coast and a whole island’s worth of hidden coves and beaches are ready to discover.

For those looking to explore, make your way to Bekris Cave and swim through the blue-green waters to the secret beach inside. Loosen up with a cocktail on a hammock at Vrelos Beach or unwind for the day on Paradise beach. The quaint and unspoiled town offers up the tastiest Greek cuisine and fresh traditional seafood delights you can find.

Get Lost in the Pastel Streets of Parga

This is a must-visit place in the Ionian Islands. The pastel-painted streets of Parga pop with vibrant buildings that pair with the colours of gelato as you stroll down the seaside promenade. Grab a flavourful scoop of sorbet or ice cream and wander through the flower-covered cobbled streets to the mountaintop Venetian fortress for breathtaking panoramic views.

While you’re at it, enjoy a cold bevy atop the fort with your mates to cool off. On a Greek sailing holiday with MedSailors in the Ionian, you’ll spend the night anchored looking out at Parga Fortress. Truly a next-level Greek paradise.

Charming Adventure Awaits in Poros

Stacked like a precarious Jenga game sits the villas of Poros Island. Clinging to steep slopes that descend into the shimmering cerulean bays, be prepared to pick up your jaw that’ll drop on the floor in awe when you arrive. It’s definitely one of the most beautiful places to visit in Greece.

Poros island in the Saronic is a place of myth and legend sprinkled in with equally legendary cocktail bars and restaurants to get your authentic taste of Greek food and hospitality. Also, get ready to lose your voice as you try to hang on at the wickedly awesome water sports in Askeli bay bound to leave you and your friends in bits after. The island itself is mountainous and green with a snaking coastal loop to cruise on and the sights at sunset are not to be missed at the clocktower!

Get Lost in the History of Gouvia

Holiday mode on. You can’t have a trip to the Ionian Islands without seeing the village of Gouvia. Tucked into a pebble beach and lined with cobbled alleyways and colourful villas, this is a spectacular seaside village. It is the ideal place to kick back on a beach and soak in those Greek island vibes.

The best part, if you want to explore more out of this little slice of silent paradise you can easily make your way into Corfu town. Here you can experience stunning Venetian town squares and bustling promenades or get your history fix visiting the massive Old Fortress of Corfu. And don’t miss out on a chance to get more local and taste the bakeries around the city or check out the local outdoor markets.
