Fabulous summer holidays in Greece, the
land of Apollo,
mean a lot. The sea and sun constitute two basic ingredients. |

Greece, the land of the sun and the Gods, offers an unforgettable vacation with an endless variety of picturesque locations from which to choose.
The Aegean or Ionian Sea, remote or cosmopolitan islands, rocky, sandy, palm or pine covered, a kaleidoscopic variety for you to enjoy on your own floating villa. Greece is not just the country you know, but rather a series of Greeces, each superimposed on the other like successive layers of soil recording the passage of time.
Prehistoric, Minoan, Mycenaean, Classical, Hellenistic, Greco-Roman and Byzantine Greece, the Greece of the crusaders and finally modern Greece. Most of the temples and other archeological sites may be visited by yacht.
In Greece the sun is at its best 300 days of the year providing exceptional weather for Yacht charters all year long. Sail away from dusty and noisy cities to clean air, blue sky and the sound of crystal-clear waters.
Greece, as the poet said, House of Gods, Doorway to Heaven, appears not as the end of the world, but rather as the end of a world. A unique form of equilibrium between man and his thought, manifested in temples and sculptures, which have spanned the centuries, forever recalling us to order.
A way of life also remains, which is another "call to order" because joy and contemplation- in order to be practical - require nothing else except a certain sky and a certain purity of heart. On a chartered yacht you can discover this world and mix with the friendly locals who are colorful and hospitable.

Explore the "immortal nakedness of Greece" at your own pace.
With Valef Yachts we can take you to places where only a yacht can go.
Swim in seemingly virginal coves under the sun or moon and head to small
ports where we will enjoy sipping ouzo at the seaside cafe or eat feta
and moussaka at the taverna with the bouzoukia player whose musical
strains will make men dance.
You can go to places where peasant-girls spin wool while guarding their
flocks; where little donkeys carry the traveler up from the port of
Santorini to the village; where automobiles and pollution will be
unknown; where the door of a house that opens to a stranger will set
in motion sacred rites of hospitality.

"Happy is the man, I thought, who [during his
lifetime], has the good fortune to sail the Aegean Sea. Many are the
joys of this world- women, fruit, ideas. But to cleave that sea in
the gentle autumnal season, murmuring the name of each islet is to
my mind the joy most apt to transport the heart of man into paradise.
Nowhere else can one pass so serenely from reality to dream."
At Valef Yachts - We couldn't agree more.
*Excerpt from 'Zorba the Greek' by Nikos Kazantzakis
