Sample itinerary
7-day skeleton
- Day 1
Athens (Alimos) · Kea
The season's gentlest boarding: warm evening, empty quay at Vourkari, dinner steps from the tender.
- Day 2
Kythnos · Kolona
The sandbar to yourselves - September's signature experience is August's postcard without the fleet.
- Day 3
Sifnos · Vathy
The island's food scene at its unhurried best; the chapel bay flat as glass.
- Day 4
Folegandros
The chora at dusk with tables free - the fading Meltemi opens the whole southwest Cyclades.
- Day 5
Ios · Manganari
The warmest swimming of the entire year - the sea holds its accumulated summer heat into October.
- Day 6
Paros · Antiparos channel
Soros and the channel anchorages, then Naoussa without the queue.
- Day 7
Return via Kea
One last long lunch at anchor. Disembark rested, not relieved.
Why George Yachts
For this brief specifically
George made the public case for September - and the market is catching up: the first September 2027 contract signed fourteen months early.
Priority 2027 access: your brief waits at the front of the queue when owners open the calendars in autumn 2026.
Honest brokerage: September's few real trade-offs (shorter days, late-month weather variance) are told to you before you book, not after.
Frequently asked
About this charter type
Is September really better than August in Greece?
For couples and adult groups, usually yes: the sea is warmer than June, the Meltemi fades through the month, anchorages empty out, and the islands stay fully open. The honest trade-offs are shorter days and a little more weather variance in the final week. Families tied to school terms keep August; nearly everyone else who tries September repeats it.
When should I book September 2027?
The serious answer: now. The first September 2027 charter reached signatures in July 2026. Owners publish 2027 rate cards in autumn 2026, and September weeks on the most loved yachts are increasingly early-decided as more charterers discover the month. A no-commitment priority brief costs five minutes.
How warm is the sea in Greece in September?
At or near its warmest of the entire year - the sea lags the air by weeks, so after the long Greek summer the Aegean enters September holding its accumulated heat and stays swimmable through the month and often well into October. If long swims are the point of the charter, September beats June comfortably.
