Cyclades: Athens to Santorini Charter Itinerary

Cyclades: Athens to Santorini Itinerary

Cyclades: Athens to Santorini Yacht Charter
The Cyclades are the Greece of the imagination: whitewashed villages spilling to the sea, blue-domed churches and water in every shade of turquoise. This seven-day route runs from Athens across the heart of the archipelago to the caldera of Santorini, calling at cosmopolitan Mykonos, tranquil Kea and the golden beaches of Paros, Naxos and Ios. Expect ancient ruins and buzzing harbours, secluded coves and effortless luxury, the timeless beauty of the Aegean.

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 to a quieter cove. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

Athens

Step aboard in Athens, where the cradle of Western civilisation meets the sparkling Saronic Gulf. Take in the Acropolis and the lanes of Plaka, then sail into the Aegean and drop anchor off the coast for a first swim.
Day 2

Kea

A short passage brings Kea, closest of the Cyclades yet one of its best-kept secrets. Anchor in the deep harbour of Korissia, explore the quiet coves and oak-wooded hills, and enjoy a peaceful first evening.

Ios

Steer south to Ios, an island of dazzling white beaches and a lively hilltop chora. Anchor in a sheltered cove of clear water, laze on the sand or take to the yacht’s toys, and enjoy the relaxed rhythm.

Santorini

The voyage ends with the spectacular approach to Santorini, its whitewashed towns clinging to the rim of a flooded caldera high above. Anchor beneath the cliffs, tender to Oia for the sunset, and raise a glass.
