NAXOS
Day 1 – Naxos is the largest of the Cycladic islands and has a great variety of landscapes and things to do. Highlights for sightseeing include the gate or ‘Portara’ to the ancient Temple of Apollo, the Temple of the Goddess Dimitra in Saggri, the Venetian Castle in Naxos Town and the archeological museum also in Naxos town.
To Marina Paroikia, Paros 16NM.
PAROS
Day 2 – Sail to the port of Paros, Paroikia, early in the afternoon since the berthings spots are limited (same in the second port of the island, Naoussa). Be highly cautious when crossing the strait between Paros and Antiparos due to sallow waters. Combining modern with traditional elements in the most unique way, Paros is a mix of traditional Cycladic architecture, vivid nightlife, magical Paros beaches, enchanting rural villages, and historical monuments. Whether you’re after a relaxing holiday or you are more of a thrill-seeker, Paros island Greece will give you exactly what you want!
To Port of Antiparos 8NM.
ANTIPAROS
Day 3 – Easy sailing near the coast of the big islands of Paros and Naxos. Sail through the “Blue Lagoon”, the turquoise waters between Paros and Antiparos. Swim at the golden beaches of Antiparos island. Don’t miss the nearby islet of Despotikon 10NM, with new, astonishing archaeological findings from ancient times. Spend the night on free anchor in the picturesque coves or the small port of Antiparos. Despite being so close to Paros island, Antiparos is not so crowded but have a cosmopolitan character. Chora, the beautiful capital of Antiparos is where the island’s heart is beating and also where most restaurants, bars and taverns lie. Chora Antiparos boasts the traditional Cycladic architecture and is home to the Venetian castle and fortress of Antiparos.
To Ios 20NM.
IOS
Day 4 – Along with Mykonos, Ios is well known for its lively nightlife, but there is a lot more to Ios than just bars and nightclubs which in the main part are restricted to the main towns. Visit the big beaches on the east coast for a very different view of Ios! Stroll around the cobblestone alleys of Chora Ios… Discover its cliff-top villages…Climb up to Odysseus Elytis theater to marvel at a breathtaking view to the island and the endless Aegean sea… Watch the sun sink towards the horizon from Panagia Gremiotissa church… Visit Homer’s grave, one of the most significant historical monuments of Ios…
To Sikinos 6NM.
SIKINOS
Day 5 – Sikinos is not yet another glamorous or buzzing island of the Cyclades, but a place with a very private, often allusive beauty. With its few but eclectic beaches, sign-posted trails, a winery that is open to the public, traditional feasts, summer music and dance fests and the most atmospheric monument in the archipelagos (the Episkopi, a former Roman mausoleum that was later converted to a Christian church), Sikinos is a Cycladic island unexplored by many but well worth discovering.
To Folegandros 12NM.
FOLEGANDROS
Day 6 – Two options to berth; the picturesque port of Folegandros or on anchor in the cove Agkali, located at the south cost of Folegandros. The port is small, so it is necessary to start the trip early and arrive latest in the afternoon. Relatively untouched by international tourists, Folegandros island still manages to keep its unspoiled charm. Stroll around the picturesque streets of Chora Folegandros…Marvel at the breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea from the super cute and romantic church of Panagia, which sits on the highest spot of the island…
To Santorini 27NM.
SANTORINI
Day 7 – Challenging sailing route as it is exposed to the northern wind (beam reach sailing) and possibly big waves. Santorini offers one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world; it differs from the other islands in the group thanks to its geological morphology, the result of action by a volcano now dormant. The villages are situated on towering cliffs crowned by tiny and blindingly white houses that plunge straight into the depths of the sea. The traditional villages of the island are beautiful: the beautiful cliché of Greece you have always dreamed about! Among these villages, Oia is a place of incomparable beauty and is considered to be the best sunset viewing location on the entire island. The view above the sea is stunning.
