Departing from Athens – Alimos Marina, you'll cruise into the sapphire embrace of the Aegean, ready to uncover a new island gem each day.
Your journey begins in Kea (Tzia) 🏛️, a tranquil island steeped in legend. Wander scenic trails past ancient ruins, dine at charming waterfront tavernas, and dive into inviting coves where nymphs were once said to dwell.
Next, set course for Syros 🎭, the graceful heart of the Cyclades. Discover the neoclassical elegance of Ermoupoli, indulge in sweet local loukoumi, and lose yourself in the cultural rhythm of an island where Catholic and Orthodox heritage beautifully intertwine.

Return to Athens with your heart full of stories, your camera filled with memories, and your soul restored by the Aegean breeze.
This Cycladic odyssey is more than a sailing trip — it’s a love letter to the Greek islands. 🌅⛵
Athens
Athens is one of the few places where you can spend the morning at a 2,500-year-old ruin and be anchored off an island by afternoon. The food gets better the moment you leave the tourist zone — fresh seafood at Mikrolimano, late lunches along the Piraeus waterfront. Alimos Marina, the largest in Greece, sits on the city's southern edge and puts the Saronic Gulf and the Cyclades within direct reach. From the water you see the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion the way it was meant to be seen — alone, glowing at sunset, no crowd between you and the cliff. The season runs April through October; give yourself a day in the city before you set sail.
Kea
Kea (also called Tzia, ancient name Keos) is the closest Cycladic island to Athens, 20 kilometres east of the Cape Sounion peninsula and the standard 1st-day overnight stop for any Cycladic charter starting from Lavrion. The 130-square-kilometre island holds about 2,500 year-round residents and lacks a busy international airport, which makes it less crowded than larger Cyclades like Mykonos. The west-coast Korissia is the ferry port and main harbour; the more sheltered yacht moorings are 1 kilometre north at Vourkari, a fishing village with the famous Aristos and Yannis harbour-side fish tavernas. The capital Ioulis (Hora) sits in the interior hills 5 kilometres east, a fortified medieval town with a 6th-century-BC Archaic-era stone lion sculpture carved directly into a hillside outcrop on the edge of town. Kea is 30 minutes from Lavrion by sail. Season runs May through October; meltemi peak July-August.
Syros
Syros sits in the northern Cyclades, 80 nautical miles southeast of Athens — the administrative capital of the Cyclades region (population 22,000), with the regional government headquartered in the port city of Ermoupoli. Ermoupoli is uniquely architecturally significant in Greece: built from scratch starting 1822 by Greek refugees from Chios and Psara after the Ottoman massacres of the Greek War of Independence, the entire city is laid out in late-Neoclassical and Renaissance Revival style — the only Cycladic town that is not whitewashed cubic Cycladic architecture but instead two-storey neo-classical mansions with marble facades. The town holds the Apollon Theatre (a 1864 miniature copy of Milan's La Scala), the central Miaouli Square with the Town Hall by Ernst Ziller, and the seafront Vaporia neighbourhood. The town is also rated for its Greek-Catholic community (the medieval hilltop Ano Syros village is a Catholic enclave). Syros is 4 hours from Mykonos by sail. Season runs May through October.
Mykonos
Mykonos earned its reputation in the clubs, but the island's full character only shows from the water. The south coast is the energy — Psarou, Paraga, Super Paradise, beach clubs where lunch turns into a 12-hour day — while the north is quieter, with windswept coves and tavernas the daytrippers never find. Delos, a UNESCO archaeological site, sits 40 minutes west; the uninhabited island of Rhenia beside it has the best swimming in the Cyclades. Back in Chora, eat at Nammos or find a roof terrace in Little Venice for the sunset over the windmills. The season runs May through October; June and September are warm without the August crowd.
Kythnos
Kythnos (sometimes spelled Kithnos, locally Thermia) sits in the western Cyclades, 30 nautical miles southeast of the Athens marinas, between Kea to the north and Serifos to the south — a 99-square-kilometre island with about 1,500 year-round residents and 92 small beaches but no commercial airport, which makes it one of the quietest of the Cyclades close to Athens. The defining feature is the small north-coast village of Loutra, which holds the only active thermal hot springs in the Cyclades — two sulphur-rich springs (38°C and 52°C) flow directly into the harbour and into a small bath house built 1857 by Bavarian-era King Otto, with year-round bathers. The main ferry harbour is Merichas on the west coast. The capital Hora sits 8 kilometres inland in the central hills. Kythnos is 90 minutes from Kea by sail. Season runs May through October; meltemi peak July-August.
Athens Return
After days spent sailing between sun-kissed islands and sleeping under starlit skies, your journey comes full circle in Athens.
As the boat gently returns to port, you carry more than just a tan — you carry the calm of the sea, the warmth of the sun, and the joy of unforgettable moments shared on deck.
There’s a certain magic in the wind, the quiet thrill of discovery, and the peace that only salt air and open water can bring.
✨ We’ll be here, ready to welcome you aboard again for your next unforgettable voyage.
