Chef Konstantinos Tsiatsios of M/Y Palatial shares his first Chefs’ Competition experience, from the thrill of being recognised to the pride of seeing the whole crew’s effort come together. A celebration of creativity, teamwork and the drive to push your limits.

The Hollywood Side of Greece | Amorgos

Where the Aegean turns into the Big Blue.
Luc Besson’s The Big Blue captured the wild beauty of Amorgos, with Agia Anna, the cliffs beneath Panagia Hozoviotissa and Kalotaritissa Bay becoming part of the film’s unforgettable world.

For those arriving by yacht, this is Greece at its most cinematic, deep blue waters, dramatic coastlines and secluded bays waiting to be discovered from the sea.

A destination made for the big blue.

What keeps bringing Crispin Baynes, Partner and Senior Sales Broker at Burgess, back to MEDYS?

An ever-evolving fleet, crews performing at the highest level and the opportunity to connect with a close-knit global yachting community. With each edition, he sees the show continue to grow while retaining the sense of connection that makes it so distinctive.

The Hollywood Side of Greece | Corfu

A little shaken, a little stirred and unmistakably Corfiot.

Picture this: cruising through the Ionian, dropping anchor beneath the cliffs of Paleokastritsa, passing the iconic Pontikonisi and making your way towards Faliraki and the Old Fortress.

This is the Corfu that became part of For Your Eyes Only, a cinematic island best experienced at sea, where every stop comes with its own story and a little bit of 007 magic.

Your next Bond-worthy escape? Consider it licensed.

For Sebastian Vaughan of Ploris Yachting, MEDYS offers the opportunity to experience Greece and its yachts first-hand, from inspecting the fleet and meeting industry partners to experiencing the hospitality that makes the destination so special.

In his first year at the show, he shares his impressions of an exceptional week and the value of being on the ground to better understand what the market has to offer.

The Hollywood Side of Greece | Kefalonia

Captain Corelli’s Mandolin brought the landscapes of Kefalonia to audiences around the world, with the island’s Ionian beauty becoming the backdrop for a story of love, music and war.

The picturesque village of Assos, the turquoise waters of Antisamos Beach and the secluded Chorgota Beach all featured in the film, places that can still be explored today as part of a journey through Kefalonia by yacht.

With its dramatic coastline, hidden coves and crystal-clear waters, Kefalonia offers the perfect setting to follow in the footsteps of Captain Corelli, one unforgettable anchorage at a time.

For Halle Scott of Superyacht People, MEDYS is about much more than discovering exceptional yachts.
Having first attended the show as part of her journey into the industry, she shares what makes the experience so distinctive, from the warmth of Greek hospitality to the invaluable opportunity to meet crews and experience the yachts first-hand.

Back at MEDYS for a second year, Tim Morley shares what keeps bringing him back. The chance to explore the latest yachts, meet the crews behind them and catch up with colleagues from across the industry.

For him, it is these conversations, connections and shared ideas that make the show such an important part of the yachting calendar.

Returning to MEDYS year after year, Georgia Boscawen of BOAT International reflects on the show’s continued growth, the evolving Greek charter market and the new yachts, destinations and opportunities it brings to the international yachting community.

The Hollywood Side of Greece | Skopelos

Mamma Mia! put Skopelos on the world map as the picture-perfect Greek island of Kalokairi.

The wedding chapel of Agios Ioannis Kastri, the pine-fringed coastline of Cape Amarandos and the picturesque Agnontas Port all featured in the film, turning the island’s natural beauty into part of the story. Today, the same landscapes remain very much real and are best discovered as part of a journey through the Sporades by sea.
