The Mediterranean is a year-round hot spot for travel and IYC wants their guests to get the most out of the destination for fall this year. Without the crowds of summer, September to December makes a great time to charter as temperatures in many parts of the Mediterranean remain sunny and warm.
Visitors have been discovering this region by sea for hundreds of years, and there is no better way to experience the variety of cultures, activities, and experiences offered in the Mediterranean than on a private yacht charter. September and October are a great time to charter as temperatures in many parts of the Mediterranean remain high, with warm seas to swim in, and the bonus of a late season charter is that without the crowds of high season you can be sure of finding all the best anchorages and mooring spots, as well as a table for dinner.
France – France is defined by diversity. As autumn begins, a more traditional side of the Riviera is revealed. Filled with art, history, and gastronomy the country provides an encompassing experience. The South is the most popular region for sailing – with the Côte d’Azur ideal for superyacht cruising. The off-season is also perfect for attending events like festivals and operas. France is ideal for guests looking to enjoy local culture.
Greece – Fall is an ideal time of year to experience the tranquil side of Greece and attend traditional festivals that occur throughout the fall. The beautiful crystalline Greek waters have attracted visitors for centuries, drawn to the charming islands and secluded bays, and always welcomed by the warm Greek hospitality. Whether it be soaking up the Santorini sunset or discovering Greek philosophy in Athens, Greece is a must-see destination.
Croatia – The striking coastline of Croatia is sprinkled with lush vineyards, fragrant olive groves, and hundreds of unspoiled islands to explore. The natural beauty, warm weather, and rich culture of Croatia have long been popular attractions among visitors.
