Sailing the Cyclades (cabin charter, shared yacht OR private cruise)
Itineraries
Here are the itineraries and spots we visit during our cruises "One Week Cyclades" during the months of May, June, September and October.
These are the best months for navigation in the Cyclades, not too hot, not too many people ... and not too much wind!
Indeed, in July and August, in addition to crowded ports, the Meltemi (north wind) can blow quite hard in the Cyclades almost all the time.
Therefore during these two months our yachts are cruising in to two other magnificent archipelagos, Ionian and Sporades, for a quiet cruise from coves to ports.
For the Cyclades, we start from Mykonos, which has great connections (ferries or planes) or Syros (for our West Cyclades itinerary including Milos).
This greatly optimizes the route compared to a departure from Athens where the first and last day would be devoted mainly to ... join the Cyclades!
All our itineraries are indicative and can change considering weather, harbor possibilities or technical elements.
1st Itinerary: Cyclades from MYKONOS including SANTORINI:
With a departure from Mykonos this itinerary allows visits to the most famous spots in the Cyclades:
Alternatively, for weather or other technical reasons, the Captain can choose an itinerary including Syros island rather than Paros, as follows:
Mykonos - Delos - Syros - Antiparos bay -Schinoussa - Kato Koufonissi - Koufonissi - Naxos - Rineia - Mykonos
If you choose a private cruise...
The captain can suit the itinerary to your wishes taking in consideration different elements as harbours, weather forecast, time of sailing and... return date.

Mykonos: This stunning Cycladic village by the sea made Mykonos "one place to be" ... at least for one night!
After a free night at Mykonos the yacht leaves on Sunday morning for Delos
Delos... You are not in a museum - you just travel back 3000 years in the past...
The famous lions of Delos
Each day we stop in a nice cove for lunch and enjoy the sea. Use the snorkeling and fishing gear on board and also a paddle.
Sometimes we can swap and have dinner on board to enjoy a night in a bay, under the stars...
We discover the charming fishing village of Naoussa in Paros
Octopus was considered "a meal fit for a king" in Greek antiquity
Time to sail to Santorini or the Small Cyclades islands...
Oia on Santorini: we sail inside the volcano!
The Small Cyclades offers a particularly relaxing ambiance...
