LAVRION
Day 1 – Your yacht will be waiting for you at our base in Lavrion, where you will be greeted by our staff. As soon as the check-in is completed you will cast off to the first destination, the island of Kea. Lavrion itself is pretty port and feels like a small Greek island all its own. While port towns are often raced through by visitors heading elsewhere, if you do have to spend a day at a port, Lavrion may be the way to go. It has a small Archaeological Museum and an interesting Mineralogical Museum, where the local mining heritage is shown off. Lavrion has an ancient history. It was the port serving the profitable silver mines in antiquity, and its protected bay was a busy one.

KEA
Day 2 – Being relatively close from Lavrion means Kea has plenty of holiday homes and an established industry to serve all comers. The main marina is at Voukouri where there are usually plenty of sailors having some food, drink and relaxation. A visit to Ioulida is worth the trip where you will enter the town through the main gates. Once there the small museum is worth a visit as is the 15 minute or so walk out to see the famous smiling lion of Kea, a strange stone statue of a lion with a somewhat unclear history. For those with more time, a trip out to see the ancient ruins at Karthea is also recommended.
To Syros 33NM.
SYROS
Day 3 – Syros is the capital of the Cyclades. The cosmopolitan port of Ermoupoli, with the impressive architecture and its historical value is ideal for berthing and visiting monasteries, churches and the old shipyards. Swimming spots can be found around the island, especially on the northern part.
To Mykonos 26NM.
MYKONOS
Day 4 – Mykonos, perhaps the most famous of all the Cycladic islands with its great beaches, beautiful architecture, windmills and the vibrant nightlife with traditional music and DJ’s from around the world! Mykonos has something for everyone and is rightly on almost all greek island charter itineraries. Mykonos is known as the “Island of Winds” and therefore we suggest caution during the months of July and August, when the northern winds are strong.
To Delos 7NM.
RINIA – DELOS
Day 5 – Embark the yacht in the morning to head towards to the sacred Rinia and Delos, the two uninhabited islets. Delos and Rinia offer unspoilt landscapes with beautiful beaches. Abundant on both islets you will find archeaological sites and ancient ruins. Delos is the birthplace of Apollo. We recommend to get a guided tour, duration: 1,5 hours, within an area full with monuments, statutes, ruins of temples and houses. In the evening free anchor in the southern beach Super Paradise, back at Mykonos island, where parties take place every single night!
To Kythnos 54NM.
KYTHNOS
Day 6 – Its time to start heading back north to the island of Kythnos and the Kolona bay. One of the most beautiful beaches in Greece, the Kolona beach is a prime example of nature’s ability to fascinate. A strip of heavenly sand connects a small islet to the mainland and forms a two sided beach of unlimited beauty.
To Cape Sounion – Lavrion 23NM.
CAPE SOUNION – LAVRION
Day 7 – Last but not least, your return trip includes one of the most famous spots in Greece, Cape Sounion and the temple of Poseidon. Swim in the beautiful waters of the bay and then visit the archeaological site, which is only a 20 minutes walk from the beach.
