Below you will find a non-exhaustive list of stopovers that you can make during the week:
⬥ Sailing in the Cyclades:
Sailing in the Cyclades offers a unique experience, combining technical navigation, strong winds (with the Meltem in summer), idyllic anchorages and cultural discoveries.

• Kythnos, is an ideal first stop to put theory into practice. Kolona Bay offers a spectacular anchorage with a spit of sand separating two sublime coves.
• Kea, also known as Tzia, offers a blend of tranquillity, history and a mix of landscapes. The Korissa harbour is sheltered, so you can practice your manoeuvres.
• Syros, the administrative capital of the Cyclades, boasts neoclassical architecture. The island is an excellent training ground for coastal anchoring and sailing.



⬥Sailing in the Saronic Gulf:
Unlike the Cyclades, the Saronic Gulf is less crowded, offering a more peaceful setting for sailing. The winds are generally more mild and the waters calmer, making it an ideal destination for beginners and experienced sailors alike.

• Egine the largest island in the Saronic Gulf, famous for its pistachios and the temple of Aphaia. It's the ideal place to combine the pleasures of sailing with cultural discoveries.
• Hydra is particularly well known for its colourful houses and lack of cars. The many islets that surround it will give you plenty of opportunities to manoeuvre in a heavenly setting.
• Poros is a haven of peace for sailing. The island is criss-crossed by a canal where you can tack while admiring the scenery. Its natural harbour is perfect for practising mooring manoeuvres.
