Cyclades
Discover the Cyclades
The Cyclades are a group of around 220 islands located in the Aegean Sea, southeast of mainland Greece. Famous for their distinctive whitewashed architecture, turquoise waters, and sun-drenched beaches, the islands symbolize Greek island life.
Visitors are drawn to the Cyclades for their stunning landscapes, ancient ruins, and the chance to experience the simplicity and beauty of traditional Greek culture. With a mild Mediterranean climate and clear seas, the Cyclades offer a perfect setting for relaxation, exploration, and immersing yourself in the history and natural beauty of the region.
Itinerary
During the Summer, the Cyclades are characterised by the frequent occurrence of strong northerly winds known as the Meltemi.
Though the distances between islands make this a demanding route for a week-long charter, careful route planning that takes wind conditions into account can still allow visits to most of the iconic spots within one week of sailing.
Lavrio is an ideal starting point for exploring the Cyclades. From there, you can choose to sail to Kea or Merichas, the capital of Kythnos. Another highlight on Kythnos is Kolona Bay, where a sandy strip naturally separates two bays, creating a unique setting to visit.
