Experience Overview
If we’re describing what a true perfect circle looks like, there’s no need to look much further than the Cyclades, or “Circular Islands.” Go where the weather (and your skipper) takes you aboard our all-new, state-of-the-art 56 ft yacht, whether that’s exploring ruins, stopping by a microbrewery for a taste, or relaxing on golden sands. See the famous windmills of Mykonos and sail through Santorini's caldera, all while enjoying the view from aboard our yacht along the way.
Highlights
- Explore the hills of Folegandros and city of Hora
- Discover Santorini your way with hiking or vineyard tours
- Relax on the famous Magganari Beach
- Get up close to the blue-roofed buildings of Ios
- Experience the nightlife on Mykonos

Itinerary
Day 1: Mykonos/Cyclades
Arrival day. Join the group at 11am for a welcome meeting and safety briefing before beginning the journey through the Cyclades.
We highly recommend booking pre-tour accommodation in order to have time to explore the island of Mykonos. You may also have time to explore Mykonos island on the last day of the trip.
Day 2-4: Cyclades - Syros/Paros/Folegandros
Spend time in the Greek Isles with your experienced Skipper and a flexible schedule. The coming days will be tailored to meet the desires of the group and weather conditions. Stops might include Syros, Paros and Folegandros.
Find countless treasures and must-grab deals while strolling through the markets of Syros.
Explore the Venetian ruins in Paros. Walk and hike through the main port and discover the Church of a Hundred Doors.
Hike to the top of the stunning cliffs on Folegandros, overlooking the beautiful village and views over to Santorini.
Day 5: Santorini
Arrive to the unique volcano island of Santorini – Sail through the one of the largest calderas in the world with breathtaking views of the picturesque clifftop villages.
Day 6-8: Ios/Small Cyclades/Naxos
Spend the next few days enjoying more of the Cyclades. Depending on where the wind will take us, stops might include Ios, the Small Cyclades, and Naxos.
The islands of the Cyclades offer a range of different experiences on each island.
While on Ios, relax on famous Magganari Beach and don't forget to visit Homer's tomb, or head out on an optional all-day adventure with your fellow yachtmates and skipper, as you discover the best Naxos has to offer— the Temple of Dimitra, a microbrewery, views of Mt Zeus, and a meal at a local tavern.
Day 9: Mykonos
Arrive to Mykonos and opt to visit the local windmills and enjoy a cocktail on a veranda overlooking Little Venice.
The beaches and nightlife add excitement to this picturesque island.
Day 10: Mykonos
Depart after breakfast.
We highly recommend booking post-tour accommodation on the island.

The sailing was a lot rougher than I expected. I don't think everyone would enjoy that.

Veronica C. - Traveled, September 2023
50/50 for me - I would only fully recommend it depending if the person was interested specifically in sailing and spending a lot of travel time on the boat and if they'do not get seasick
