Introduction

East Aegean is a border region between Greece and Turkey. While many cruisers maintain active travel-logs on both countries and interweave between them this is a violation and can be dangerous. The Greek islands are on the west while the Turkey shore on the east.

Cruising and passage making in this region is influence by the weather patterns. In the meltemi season yachts in the Greek islands move from the north to the south taking advantage of the favorable winds. Yachts, during the summer months, wishing to sail north from southern directions are better off hugging the Turkey coast which is less exposed to the meltemi.

The north part of East Aegean is in general less travelled by yachts then the South. Nevertheless, there many interesting ports and islands in the NE Aegean.

Climate & Weather Information

In the summer months the weather is dominated by the meltemi which comes in the north from the NE and on the south from the NW.

For details see Aegean Weather.

Weather Windows

In general, the best sailing in the Aegean Sea is during the period from late May to mid October. But this does not preclude earlier in the Spring or later in the Autumn. Sailing in the winter months can be problematic due to stronger, more volatile, and less predictable weather.
