Itinerary of your cruise
Your skipper has put together the perfect itinerary for you to discover the Cyclades. You'll visit some of the most famous islands and some of the little-known and unspoilt islands. You'll enjoy the scenery as you sail for around 5 hours a day, stopping off at some of the most marvellous sites in the Aegean Sea!
DAY 1 : Paros (Parikia port)
Your skipper will be waiting for you at 6 pm at the main port of Parikia, on the island of Paros. After dropping off your belongings, it's time to go shopping. You'll have dinner at the taverna in the evening, giving you a chance to get to know your skipper and the other crew members. Night on board.
DAY 2 to 7: Cruise
Set off in search of the riches of the Cyclades by taking an active part in life on a boat, taking the helm, tacking, trimming the sails... You'll also be asked to take part in the daily chores of this holiday, from preparing meals to washing up. Immerse yourself fully in the daily life of a sailor!
Below is a non-exhaustive list of possible stops on your cruise:
• Glide along the crystal-clear waters and coastline of the island of Folegandros before stopping off to enjoy its peaceful beaches, ideal for relaxing and admiring the scenery.
• Discover Santorini, the famous Greek island, renowned for its white houses and sunset. You'll sail into the pretty bay of Caldeira with an impressive view of the colorful cliffs. You'll also have the chance to pass the pretty village of Oia and the island of Thirasía.
• The small Cyclades form an archipelago of 4 islands (Iraklia, Schinousa, Keros...) and around twenty islets. Sail between these islands to discover their typical villages and swimming spots.
• Antiparos and Despotiko, two jewels of the Cyclades, separated by a sparkling bay with crystal-clear waters, where you can dive to discover a rich marine world. Antiparos charms with its cobbled streets and whitewashed houses, while Despotiko, smaller and uninhabited, is an archaeological treasure trove revealing the history of ancient civilizations.
• Sifnos is a still relatively unspoiled island, also known as the island of Apollo. Between mountain valleys, centuries-old olive groves and fine sandy beaches, there are plenty of opportunities for walking!
DAY 8 : Paros (port de Parikia)
Depart early for the port of Paros. You disembark after breakfast at around 10 am.
Please note:
The itinerary will be discussed with the skipper according to your wishes and the weather conditions for the comfort and safety of the crew.

Muchisimas Gracias a Denis y Malo que nos hicieron pasar una semana excepcional, vimos los mejores atardeceres desde el velero, nadamos en playas de aguas azules y cristalinas, conocimos todos los secretos de la navegacion a vela. Ademas fue una experiencia culinaria increible gracias a la generosidad y el conocimiento de Denis de cada rincón del Egeo.

Première visite de la Grèce et première expérience de la voile ! On ne pouvait pas mieux tomber que sur Raphaël qui a fait de notre voyage une aventure hors du commun ! Éprouver de vraies sensations de navigation en profitant de ses conseils pour découvrir Les Cyclades en dehors des sentiers battus avec en prime sa bonne humeur naturelle ! Nous recommandons plus que vivement cette croisière active ! Nous pensons très sérieusement à renouveler l’expérience et, nous l’espérons, entre les mains expertes de Raphaël ! Un grand merci !!

Some information and recommendations to make your stay more enjoyable:
You are now a full member of the crew. We hope that you will enjoy participating in the sailing, navigation and daily chores and keep the yacht tidy and clean during your stay for everyone's benefit and your safety.
Certain tasks are necessary during the stopover: shopping, filling up with water or fuel, ice, emptying the bins or doing a bit of cleaning and tidying up on board. They aren't huge tasks, and if everyone pitches in, it will give everyone more time to visit the port of call...
Daily chores are done together. No sailing skills are required. You can help manoeuvre the boat under the skipper's responsibility.

You will enjoy full board during your cruise, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. Soft drinks and alcohol are not included. Please check the terms and conditions of your quote.
