7Sailing the Greek Islands vs. Cruising the Amalfi Coast
If the Mediterranean has a heart, it beats somewhere between whitewashed Greek islands and pastel Italian cliffs.
Greece offers a sailor’s paradise: hop between islands like Paros, Milos, Naxos, and Hydra, each with its own character. Dropping anchor in a hidden cove, swimming in water so clear it feels unreal, and dining at a tiny taverna reachable only by boat—these are quintessential Greek moments. The freedom of island hopping is unmatched.
Italy’s Amalfi Coast delivers a different kind of maritime magic. Here, you glide past dramatic cliffs, lemon groves cascading down the rocks, and villages clinging to mountainsides. A boat trip past Positano at sunset, with pastel houses glowing gold, feels like stepping into a painting. It’s luxury, drama, and romance rolled into one.
