Thanks RIBfan
I live in England but I have my holidays in Greece. Best place to be in the summer (any way).
The boats that are popular are those with lots of sun deck. However, the sea in the summer is not always calm. We get a type of weather called MELTEMI that is NNE winds force 5 up to 9 sometimes. A lot of people from abroad who think that the Greek seas are easy to sail regret not paying attention and risking. Sometimes they pay with their lives.
We also have what we call BOURINI. is a type of gust that can last up to an hour very strong winds of any direction forcce 7-10. These winds canm ahpen any where without warning and when you sail you need to keep your eye out.
As all seas the Greek sea (being Ionian - which is easier to sail - or Aegean - more difficult) need respect and a lot of preparation if you want to have a good time and be safe.
Happy RIBing
