About

8 Days of Timeless Cruising in the Cyclades

The Cyclades take their name from a ring of islands encircling sacred Delos, a cluster of more than 220 islands covering 2,572 square kilometres in the Aegean. Your journey begins in Athens–Lavrion, the gateway marina south of the capital, before cruising out into waters shaped by steady meltemi winds. The route drifts from the quiet coves of Kythnos to Paros with its famous marble, then onward to Naxos with Venetian layers and finally to the cosmopolitan harbour of Mykonos. It is a passage that folds together glamour, heritage, and raw landscapes with the natural rhythm of the sea.
