Cyclades: 14 Days Mykonos-Santorini Proposed plan for the itinerary. We recommend that itineraries be kept flexible as they are subject to various factors such as weather conditions or your own change of heart. Any pre-planned itinerary, with the exception of the Port of Departure and redelivery, may be altered in consultation with the Skipper. DAY1 (Saturday): We will start our sailing tour in Athens were you will be welcomed on board on Saturday afternoon. Provisions have been organized based on your wishes and after finishing the paperwork and your welcome cocktail we will sail for the bay of Sounion were we will spend the night on anchor. DAY2: After breakfast there will be time to hike to the temple of Poseidon. Upon return we set sail to Kea where we will spend some time in a bay on anchor for a relaxing swim and lunch. After lunch we move to main port were we will arrive late afternoon. DAY3: After breakfast we set sail to Siros, as this is/was the centre of the Cyclades it played an important commercial role for the Venetians. In Ermoupoli where we will dock for the night you can see the glamour of the past that reflex in the great architectural monuments. Of course we will stop on route for a swim and lunch!

DAY4: Today we sail to Mykonos. Depending on your wishes we will stop on route for a swim an lunch or go direct to the marina of Mykonos. If we take the direct route you will have the whole day to explore the island. If it is too windy we will anchor on the south side of the island and. There are plenty of restaurants and nice coffee bars on Mykonos and a small exploration of the main town is worthwhile.

DAY5: Leaving Mykonos we head for Delos. The island of Delos used to be the place of worship in the Cyclades and is one of the most important mythological, historical and archaeological sites in Greece. It can only be reached by boat. After you explored Delos will sail down to Paros and spend the night either on anchor or in the port of Naousa.


DAY6: From Paros we sail down to Ios or Iraklia . The Chora on Ios is a white and a very picturesque Cycladic village, full of stairs and narrow paths, that makes it inaccessible for cars of any kind. Today however, the main path through this village is completely taken over by tourism in terms of restaurants, boutiques, bars and discothèques most of them servicing a ‘younger’ crowd. Iraklia is a small yet beautiful island between the islands of Naxos and Ioa and part of the Small Cyclades. The port is small and quit with an authentic Greek way of life.

DAY7: Leaving early we will head for Santorini today. We will spend lunch on a swinging mooring under the town of Oia (Pronounced like I-A). During the afternoon we will do some sightseeing in the crater of Santorini and you may have a bath in the hotsprings close to the Caldera. In the afternoon we head for the port of Vlichada on the south side of Santorini where we spend the night.

DAY 8: A free day to explore Santorini. As the island is not that small and pretty hilly you might want to rent a car so that you can explore the island from the Red Beach to the sunset in Oia. DAY 9: We will leave early today so that we can explore Sikinos, for lunch and a swim, and Folegandros for the night. The Chora of Folegandros is closed to car and motorcycle traffic and has a unique "center" of three squares in a row, with trees under which to enjoy a drink or food in a quiet,romantic atmosphere. Bougainvillea and hibiscus color the small wooden balconies around the old Kastro (XIII century).

DAY 10: From Folegandros we sail west, to Milos. Depending on when we leave and the wind/weather we will find a anchorage for swimming and lunch on the south side of Folegandros or on Kimolos. We end up late afternoon in Adamas, the main port of Milos. We can choose to visit the Plaka and enjoy our dinner there or at one of the tavernas at the sea.

DAY 11: We will circumnavigate Milos today and end up in Sifnos for the night. Milos has a very rough coastline with lots of caves and hidden beaches. We will visit Kleftikos , an impressive spot that can only reached by the sea. The legend says that one of the caves in Kleftiko was a pirate hideaway and that they had hidden in there their treasury, but it was never found.


DAY12: From Sifnos its only a short sail to Serifos so we can either spend more time on anchor for lunch or explore the port where we will spend the night. From the port of Livadhi, a large natural port, you can take a bus (or a quad/scouter) to the Chora that is overlooking the port or make a small hike to one of the nice beaches.

DAY 13: Kithnos is the last island of the Cyclades that we will visit. We will spend most of our time in the bay of Kolona, a beautiful double bay with a small sandy beach in the middle. We can spend the night on anchor or move to the port of Merichas. With the tavernas on the beach it is the perfect last day on the islands. DAY 14: Today we return to Athens. We will be back in Athens around 18:00 o'clock. You can spend the night on board or we can book you a Hotel in the city of Athens. If you never stayed in Athens we suggest staying at least two more nights in Athens (not included). DAY 15: (Saturday): Check-out at 9:00 o'clock.

We can sail this trip in any sailing yacht or catamaran of your choice which is depending on your party size and budget. You will sail with a skipper/tour leader and a hostess/ cook is optional. If you sail with a hostess/cook you won’t have to worry about cleaning and organizing the boat. The cook will also take care of the shopping based on your wishes, of course!
