Golden beaches, olive groves, mountains, lands of shepherds, fishermen, and interesting archaeological ruins surrounded by emerald seas, sun, and the Meltemi, a dry and warm wind.

8 Days / 7 Nights Charter Itinerary from Athens to the Cyclades Islands
Day 1 – Itinerary from Athens to the Cyclades
Athens → Cape Sounion → Kea
Marina Alimos – Kalamaki, in the heart of Athens, is one of the best places to embark on a Cruise to the Cyclades. Cape Sounion, just an hour far from the port of Athens, is the southernmost point of the Attica coast and is perfect for a dip in the crystal clear water in front of the majestic Temple of Poseidon before heading, in 45 minutes, to Kea island where you can admire the curved bay of Korissia in front of Vourkari, the main anchorage for yachts and an excellent place to stop for the night.
Day 2 – Itinerary from Athens to the Cyclades
Kea → Syros → Naxos
Natural beauties are protagonists in Kea’s Pisses beach, just 15 minutes far from Korissia while Koundouros beach, to the south, is enchanting with its blue sea and stone windmills. Reach the beautiful and elegant island of Syros in 1 hour where you can take a complete island tour with a catamaran in just 75 minutes from the port of Ermoupolis. About an hour separates Syros to Naxos island, the homonymous capital of the island with the main port for a night stop.
Day 3 – Itinerary from Athens to the Cyclades
Naxos – Paros – Ios
Before leaving Naxos, you can explore its southwest coast with the beaches of Agios Georgios and Mikri Vigla.
Paros is separated from Naxos by a canal of only 5 km in length. It is full of sea caves and beaches including Chrysi Akti from which you can reach the island of Ios in about 60 minutes and dock at the port of Gialos. Manganari town is perfect for relaxing while Mylopotas can be the dock to stop at night.
Day 4 – Itinerary from Athens to the Cyclades
Ios → Santorini
It takes about 45 minutes by boat from Ios to land at the small Armeni pier in Santorini. In the nearby Ammoudi bay, you can swim and admire the village of Oia and its famous sunset. The vibrant atmosphere of Santorini and the pristine landscapes forged by great eruptions such as the Caldera is a marvel even at nightfall.
Day 5 – Itinerary from Athens to the Cyclades
Santorini → Folegandros
After leaving Santorini you can head to Folegandros in an hour with your rented catamaran. The island is small, rocky with extraordinary villages such as the scenic Chora, the fishing port of Karavostasi with its three bays! Livadi and Angali are strips of fine sand between high cliffs, real pristine paradises where you can spend time in total relaxation.
Day 6 – Itinerary from Athens to the Cyclades
Folegandros → Milos
You can set sail from Folegandros to Milos in about 90 minutes and moor in Adama’s pier. The extraordinary bay of Milos has many colors thanks to the mineral-rich soil. Sarakiniko and Kastanas with colored pebbles are among its most beautiful beaches. The coves look like fjords while the caves and arches can also be explored by swimming such as the suggestive Sykia Sea Cave.
Day 7 – Itinerary from Athens to the Cyclades
Sifnos → Serifos
Before reaching Sifnos, refined and almost unreal in the port of Kamares, you can stop to swim in Platys Gialos or Vathy. Half an hour from Sifnos is Serifos with the beaches near the port of Livadi that slope gently, surrounded by tamarisk trees. To the south is Agios Sostis, nestled in a small bay dominated by a lovely white and blue church.
Day 8 – Itinerary from Athens to the Cyclades
Kythnos → Athens
We leave Serifos to reach Kythnos, one of the most intact and lively villages of the Cyclades. Kolona is a stretch of golden sand that stretches to the uninhabited islet of Agios Loukas. Liotrivi reveals many indigo blue coves while Katafiki is the largest cave in the Cyclades. On the way to Athens, you can stop at the beautiful Vouliagmeni bay before reaching the port of Cape Sounion.
