Featured Destination: Eleuthera

Eleuthera yacht charter

Imagine an island that is all beach with access to the water no matter where you go. That island is Eleuthera. Long and thin – only two miles at its widest point – no matter where you go inland, you’re never far from the beach. And what a beach!

 

Eleuthera has amazing pink sand beaches. They stretch along the coastline, uninterrupted and seemingly endless. Or you can sail into one of the many secluded coves and find a little private space that is all your own.

 

Scuba diving is a popular activity here on Eleuthera, particularly along the Devil’s Backbone, the jagged reef to the north where numerous natural wrecks lie. There are a few villages on the island to enjoy local cuisine and interact with the friendly locals. You may also enjoy swimming, snorkeling, fishing, or just enjoying the beauty of the Bahamas around you.

Featured Destination: Greek Island Lefkas

LefkasIsland Lefkas, part of the Ionian Islands in Greece, offers a beautiful overview of Onassis Island from the east, and some of the best beaches and sunset views from the west.

Lefkas is close enough to the mainland to be connected by a bridge, giving easy automobile access, although most people prefer to visit the area on a Greece yacht charter. Water sports – including swimming, scuba diving, and windsurfing – are popular, as well as hiking and cycling. The beaches are relaxing as well as beautiful or you can explore the ancient archaeological sites.

This Greek island is less commercial than the surrounding islands, offering quiet and seclusion and a bit of untamed wilderness. You may see small villages with stone buildings, Greek men out on fishing boats and Greek women sitting together crocheting. It is quaint and beautiful, while still offering everything that travelers may need, especially at Nidri and Vassiliki.
