Your possible stops during this cruise
"The itinerary will depend on weather conditions, your wishes and those of your skipper. In addition, sanitary constraints will be taken into account during your stay."
Set sail on a sailing cruise to discover the Cyclades!
The Cyclades are an archipelago of over 250 islands and islets, only 24 of which are inhabited. in ancient Greece, life in this region revolved around the sacred island of Delos. Today, you can alternate between numerous islands, pretty ports and typical villages, and areas that are still very unspoilt and wild.
Over the course of a week, you can admire the clear horizons and enjoy heavenly beaches while sampling local specialties. Greece is famous for its cuisine, and this region is full of specialities: sheep's cheese, thyme honey, lemons, wine, citron liqueur... You'll have no trouble finding what you're looking for. And to make matters worse, the Cycladians are very welcoming.
As for the program, your skipper is at your disposal to put together a tailor-made cruise. And he knows the Cyclades like the back of his hand, sailing between the islands as you would a walk in your own garden, so he'll be able to advise you.

It was great!!!!!! We spent two weeks on board the 8-man sailboat with our family. Departure from Paros, port of Donoussa, wild coves in Amorgos, Shinoussa, Irakila, lost port at the end of the world in Kalandro sur Naxos, paradise landscape between Paros and Antiparos with cocktails at sunset, wind-facing returns through Sifnos (this island has something special), Serifos and Kithnos, and finally, rise at 5h30 to cross to Siros, the end of the journey, in the waves and winds. We loved the dolphins jumping in front of the boat on the first day, the mornings under sail, all sitting on the front of the boat, jumping in the water each time they arrived in a creek, the children's tarot parts during the nap, the meals in the cockpit once the sun went down, the shooting stars and the sailor stories told by Patrick
Patrick's company was very pleasant. We always felt safe and at the same time we felt like we were depriving ourselves of nothing. Patrick listened to our desires, it was really two weeks tailor-made. We liked the coves, Patrick admitted that it was the first time he only stopped in 3 ports in 2 weeks and he was surprised by the low consumption of diesel during the stay, he was there when he needed it, and knew how to leave us as a family as if we were alone in the world when we wanted. He did not hesitate to try again with us, and to present us his favorites. We loved his "sailor stories" in the evening during the meal in the cockpit. We will remember for a long time his friends who after sailing for 4 days without sleeping saw a mother and her baby in the saloon. It was like a horror movie script
The second day, we went to shelter from the wind in Nikouria Bay on Amorgos Island. We had just spent the night at the port of Donousa with the noise of the small town and the ropes holding the boat. During the trip we surfed the waves and saw dozens of dolphins playing with the batean. When we arrived we were the only ones in the bay. There was no other noise than the wind. We took out the paddle, snorkelled, cooked dinner for the evening, spaghetti with tuna and Greek salad, then went to bed on deck to watch the shooting stars before the full moon rose. Patick showed us Mars, Venus and the North Star. Here we were, we had tamed the boat, we were going to be able to live there for two weeks.
