Land Ahoy – How Does Croatia Compare With Greek Islands?
But will it be Croatia or Greece?
Sailing holidays are hands down the embodiment of summer and flitting from island to island, swimming in quiet coves and bays are just a handful of the perks that come with any sailing holiday, but location is key.
With Croatia rising to prominence over the last few years people may be quick to set sail along the Dalmatian Coast – but what about the abundance of Greek Islands that are swathed in ancient legends and offer a rich tapestry of culture? Let’s take a look at the perks of sailing in Greece or Croatia this summer.
Lush and dramatic landscapes – both this countries boast a glorious vista, however it can be difficult to choose which one to take in. Although Croatia offers its culture, some great seafood, sunshine and some unique architecture, the waters surrounding the Greek Islands offer crystal clear waters and amazing cuisine. We’re talking Kleftiko, Mousaka, Stuffed Peppers, Gyros, Saganaki (amazing fried cheese that you have to have as a starter) and some stunning sandy beaches.
Croatia is made up of over 1000 tiny islands, many sporting Venetian style buildings and lot sof seafood to go hand in hand with a nautical adventure. However, Croatia doesn’t sport the same famous party islands such as Mykonos and tends to only come alive when there’s a festival on. The Greek Islands are famous for the gay-friendly Mykonos as well as the stunning sunsets at Santorini and the water sports on Ios.
A sailing holiday in Greece also comes complete with the prestige of island hopping and experiencing the charm and character of each individual island.
