The waters off Kyparissi are not the Aegean’s most windward, but the Myrtoum Sea between the Peloponnese and the southern Cyclades delivers reliable summer sailing in a less trafficked corridor than the more famous Greek sailing grounds. The sailing yachts available in Greek waters for this stretch of coast range from comfortable cruising monohulls to blue-water performance sloops, all crewed and provisioned for a week-long passage.
Sailing into Kyparissi itself is a reward that most crews plan ahead for. The bay faces southwest, which means a summer afternoon sea breeze fills straight in from the open Myrtoum, and arriving under sail rather than engine is entirely practical for most charter boats. The village, framed by cliffs, has a distinctive silhouette that remains one of those sights that makes the chart planning worthwhile.
Charter rates for crewed sailing yachts in this part of Greece begin around 8,000 euros per week and reach approximately 60,000 euros for the largest performance monohulls. Provisioning runs 20 to 25 percent of the charter fee, with fuel costs considerably lower than for motor yachts given the sailing profile. Some captains offer bareboat options at separate rates for holders of valid offshore certificates.
The broader sailing area spans from Spetses and the Saronic Gulf in the north to Elafonisos, Kythira and the southern approaches to Crete. Kyparissi sits near the midpoint of this arc, making it a natural overnight anchor for boats on a longer Peloponnese passage.
