How long does it take to sail across the Aegean?

IIRC from a book, it took 15 days to sail from Brundisium to Alexandria with a cargo ship (good weather circumstances I presume) during Augustus' days. So that's three or four times the longest distance across the Aegean.

Depends on prevailing winds (and thus time of year) too. If you can use sail, rather than relying purely on oars, times can be cut drastically.

So maybe three to five days if the weather is good...

That's a ship from then though. A caravel from the 1400's or a clipper from the 1800's could do it even faster.

2-3 days tops.

The distances involved aren't all that great. It was the weather that would be taken into account, first and foremost.

Salonika - Crete would take a little longer.
