The Cyclades take their name from the circle they form around Delos, which the ancients held to be the birthplace of Apollo and the sacred centre of the Aegean. The islands still arrange themselves around it, and the sailing between them is among the most rewarding in the Mediterranean.
Expect wind. The meltemi blows from the north through the summer and dictates the order of the week; a good captain uses it rather than fighting it. In return: dry light, white villages, and water that takes its colour from the sky and nothing else.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read the Cyclades; the rest we tailor to you.
