Hi all - long time lurker, first time poster. We're doing a one week
bareboat catamaran charter out of Lavrion in early September. Looking at itineraries and trying to decide between the Saronic vs.
Cyclades and I can't seem to find a good answer on what the conditions are like in early September, particularly whether meltemi is still a factor. We have 4 couples - the guys have done many sailing trips and are up for longer
sails etc, but the wives prefer smoother and "less exciting" sailing conditions. While part of the decision is what type of scenery etc. we want, has anyone had experience in the area that time of year and how would you balance the potentially longer sail from Lavrion to the Saronic the first/last days of the trip (presumably with calmer conditions thereafter) with the risk of more exposed/open sailing to get through the northern
Cyclades? We're after a mix of experiences - the wives will want to get off the
boat to see some of the various towns and have dinners, etc. Thank you!!
