The route shown is a suggestion based on optimal conditions. The final route is decided daily by the crew together with the skipper - depending on weather, wind, crew wishes and current conditions. This makes every trip an individual adventure!
Are you tempted by the Cyclades? Let's go – your dream will come true and you will sail to this archipelago with sailwithus. The respective sailing trip depends on the wind conditions and the experience of your crew. It is best to discuss your wishes with the skipper after arrival. The trip starts in Athens/Lavrio, and you check in with the other vacationers on the yacht after 5 p.m., but between 2 and 4 p.m. you will already get to know each other at the harbor and do the shopping for the week. Together with the skipper, you plan and organize where you want to sail and what you want to do.
Your first sailing trip will take you to Kea in the southern Aegean Sea. The island is located about 60 kilometers from Athens and is called Tzia in modern Greek. It is very popular with the Greek rural population. Kea is a hive of activity – and you'll be right in the middle of it. As you can see, yacht chartering in Greece promises a vacation for young people who enjoy sailing and exploring.
A new experience awaits you: from Kea, you will sail on to Serifos, another island in the western Cyclades. Beautiful beaches with turquoise waters await you and your crew buddies, with whom you will explore this wonderful sailing area. Although the summer wind Meltemi can sometimes reach 7 to 8 Bf (Beaufort scale for wind strength), the wind is perfectly adequate – no matter which route you sail.
Sailing in the Cyclades takes you to a different island every day. Today you will arrive in Milos. Perhaps you are familiar with the famous Venus de Milo, the statue of the goddess of love Aphrodite, which was discovered here by a farmer in 1820. It is one of the most famous examples of Hellenistic art. Or perhaps you will be more surprised by the hidden catacombs and the rugged, white rocky coastline of this island.
Your next destination for the day: Sifnos, about 130 kilometers from Athens and surrounded by bright white sandy beaches. For a Cycladic island, Sifnos is very green. That's why olive and wine growing play an important role. But now to your daily program: fun sailing, having fun, and sailing towards the sun! If you are still learning to sail, now is your chance to show what you have learned from your skipper on this trip.
Today you are heading for Kithnos and the western Cyclades island chain. For you, this means spending relaxing hours sailing on the sea. From a distance, you can already recognize Kithnos by its mountains and hills and the many small bays along its coast. The island is known for its hot springs. You will drop anchor and visit picturesque villages together, strolling leisurely through the narrow streets.
After fun comes relaxation. A few last tacks. You drop anchor once more. You relax on the yacht and revel in the experiences of this exciting week of sailing on the sea as you sail towards Athens/Lavrion, arriving between 3 and 6 p.m. Your sailing vacation is coming to an end. But first, you enjoy a really good dinner with "your" crew.
Now it's here: the last day of your sailing vacation in the Cyclades. You string together one unforgettable memory after another. You already packed your things yesterday. At 9 a.m. sharp, you leave the yacht. Bye, bye Cyclades sailing trip, sailing with sailwithus. What a wonderful combination of nature, relaxation, partying, and laughter, laughter, laughter. Thank you!
