A catamaran or sailboat vacation is a perfectly balanced mix between accessibility and fantastic experience. We simply know everything you need for a truly superb holiday – places, experiences, locals, bays, taverns, trails.
Our Cyclades itinerary starts in Athens, at Alimos Marina. Alimos Marina is one of the largest harbors in Greece and is the perfect place to arrive at your sailboat and rest before starting your Cyclades Sailing Itinerary. The marina is located close to a large number of bars, restaurants and a supermarket to stock up on your travel needs.
Kythnos is an island full of colorful flowers, sparkling blue waters, golden beaches and on the way to the port of Merichas, you can stop and explore one of the largest caves in Greece – the Katafiki Cave of Dryopida. You can also stop around the island to swim in the picturesque bays.
Overnight anchorage: Merichas is the main port on the west coast of the island. The harbor has a ferry dock and a small jetty. Although there is no jagged place for mooring inside the harbor, just outside the jetty there are arrows indicating the positions where mooring is available.
We are heading from Kythnos to the island of Syros. Syros is a small island full of spectacular colorful buildings and culture and is mostly off the beaten tourist track. A great place to spend the night is in Finikas, on the southwest coast of the island. This is a quiet village full of taverns, bars and cafes and is a great place to anchor as it offers good protection from the Meltemi.
Overnight Anchorage: Small harbor anchorage (limited spaces) as well as offshore anchorage outside the jetty are available.
Day four brings our Cyclades sailing itinerary to the famous island of Mykonos. White houses with blue shutters, windmills, chic taverns, plus a crystal clear sea and blue sky, this is what Mykonos corner of heaven looks like. The most glamorous island of Greece, known for its nightlife, the favorite destination of celebrities and high-profile partiers.
Agios Nikolaos is one of the safest naturally formed ports in the Aegean Sea area. Kea is a beautiful island full of ancient ruins, picturesque towns and cosmopolitan and friendly locals. Old churches, beaches, mills, towers and windmills fill the island with perfect locations and interesting places to discover. We suggest anchoring in Agios Nikolaos for the first night (one port northeast of the bay is Vourkari).
Sounion is located at the southernmost point of mainland Greece. It was once fortified to protect the city of Athens. Sounion is home to the unique Temple of Poseidon (the Greek goddess of the sea), this picturesque cliff-top building also offers a great place to watch the sunset. Sounion is known for its historic buildings, spirit and achievements, as well as being a great place to swim and relax.
Overnight Anchorage: Sounion Bay or Legrana Bay are great places to drop anchor and spend the night.
Our Cyclades itinerary ends back in Athens at Alimos Marina. Alimos Marina is one of the largest harbors in Greece and is the perfect place to disembark from your sailboat and rest before starting your journey or home. The marina is located close to a large number of bars, restaurants and a supermarket to stock up before your departure.
