Athens to Santorini

The journey begins with a sail to Kea, a small yet picturesque island known for its rocky landscape, breathtaking beaches, and crystal-clear blue waters. This is the perfect spot to make use of your superyacht’s collection of water toys. For a relaxing day on the sand, visit Pisses Beach, or if you prefer a more secluded experience, anchor at Xyla Beach for ultimate privacy. The serene beauty of Kea sets the perfect tone for the adventure ahead.

Sailing to Syros, you’ll discover an island that blends authenticity with a laid-back charm. Unlike its busier neighbors—Santorini, Mykonos, and Paros—Syros offers a more tranquil experience, making it an ideal retreat for families and couples. The island’s unique architecture is one of its highlights, particularly in Ermoupoli, the stunning neoclassical capital. Stroll through its elegant streets, visit the grand Town Hall, and soak in the local culture that makes Syros a true gem of the Cyclades.

Arriving in Mykonos, you’ll be greeted by the island’s vibrant energy. Famous for its incredible nightlife, it’s best to pace yourself during the day to fully enjoy the evening festivities. Spend the afternoon relaxing on one of Mykonos’ stunning sandy beaches or venture inland to explore the 16th-century windmills, a symbol of the island’s Venetian past. Whether you seek beachside relaxation or an electrifying party atmosphere, Mykonos offers both in abundance.

Sailing to Paros, you’ll find an island that seamlessly blends modern luxury with traditional charm. Featuring stunning Cycladic architecture, a lively nightlife, and enchanting rural villages, Paros offers a little bit of everything. With 120 km of coastline, the island boasts golden-sand beaches, dramatic cliffs, and lush mountains. Whether you’re looking to unwind on the beach or seek adventure, Paros has something for everyone.

Next, you’ll set sail for Naxos, the largest island in the Cyclades and a hidden paradise. While nearby islands like Santorini and Mykonos steal the spotlight, Naxos remains an underrated gem, offering unspoiled beauty and rich history. With stunning beaches, fertile valleys, and charming mountain villages, Naxos is a dream destination for those seeking authenticity and natural beauty.

The journey continues to Ios, an island known for its mix of tranquility and vibrant nightlife. While Chora is the island’s lively hub, a short distance away lies Kambos, an area that perfectly balances peace and modern facilities. For history lovers, a visit to Skarkos Hill is a must—this archaeological site contains well-preserved remains of an early Cycladic settlement, offering fascinating insights into ancient life.

The final leg of the journey takes you to Santorini, one of Greece’s most famous islands. Unlike the golden beaches of other Cycladic islands, Santorini’s shores have a unique grey volcanic sand, a striking contrast to the deep blue sea. The White Beach is a fantastic spot for snorkeling or enjoying your yacht’s water toys. After indulging in local cuisine at Bellonias Villas, visit the archaeological site of Akrotiri, where you’ll step back in time to Greece’s Bronze Age, ending your journey with a glimpse into ancient history.
