Just you and your mate, in remote bays, and yet in the most popular islands. The sailing vacations are a way of life, which however can be followed by all.

Let's begin our sailing trip from Paros Island. The advantage of Paros depends on the truth that Paros lies exactly at the center of the Cyclades with so many islands around, therefore making your travelling getaways in Greece a perfect alternative.

This provides you the chance to cruise out every day, no matter where the wind blows from, making your islands hopping a dream.

Day 1: Set sail around Paros for your very first location, Naxos. Depending upon the weather it's going to take 3-4 hours cruising. Naxos is one of the most significant islands of the Cyclades with great interest and many sights. Do not miss the sundown at the ancient temple of Apollo, just a couple of meters away from the marina. Grilled octopus with "ouzo" is a "should" here.

Day 2: Today set sail south following the west coast of Naxos ending up in the southernmost of the island, at Kalando bay. In the mid way we will stop at a good anchorage, Roga, for swimming and lunch. Kalando is an unique place. It is not a town, however it provides a best shelter for the luxury yacht. It's a separated location with a long sandy beach and lots of kilometers of tracks by the beachfront, perfect for treking in the pure nature. For dinner a kiosk run by a regional shepherd uses BBQ only with regional products. Do not expect high-ends here. Undoubtedly, it's going to be your favorite place at the end.

Day 3: Set sail from Kalando heading for Koufonisi. A short stop at a fantastic spot, called Rina, where you can swim inside a sea cave. Remarkable colors everywhere.Koufonisi without a doubt the most gorgeous of the small Cyclades islands with numerous sandy beaches all around. Rent a bicycle and check out all of them. Dinner at "Captain Nicolas" place runs out any sort of negotiation along with a frozen mojito at the windmill bar just above the marina.

Day 4: If the wind is strong, remain in the area going to the nearby island of Kato Koufonisi and swim in the crystal clear waters, snorkelling or go hiking around. Due to the fact that the big island of Naxos to the north blocks the wind in order to make our life on board more comfortable, the location is really secured from huge waves. In the afternoon return to the exact same marina in Pano Koufonisi.

In case that the weather condition permits set sail to Amorgos, the island of the "Big blue" movie. Check out the popular abbey with the breath taken view from its veranda and try "rakomelo", the local alcohol drink.

So after a brief stop for swimming at Antikeros on our way from Amorgos to Iraklia we will wind up at the attractive port of the island.

Here you can swim to the close-by beach, diving from the yacht and hiking around enjoying the pure nature. Dinner at Iraklia suggests fresh fish and the local tavernas more congenial than anywhere else are ready to meet your expectations.

Day 6: Antiparos, the last island of your cruising cruise. After a 4-5 hours cruising journey and of course after the crucial stop for lunch and swimming we end up in Antiparos late in the afternoon.
