A Week's Vacation in the Islands of the Aegean Sea With a Sailing Boat

Unlimited hours on the beach, ignoring the blue horizon, the night sky and stars. Early in the morning a cup of coffee, pyjamas as swimsuit and after that dive to the "huge blue". Just you and your mate, in secluded bays, and yet in the most popular islands. The cruising vacations are a way of living, which however can be followed by all.

Let's begin our cruising trip from Paros Island. The benefit of Paros lies in the fact that Paros is located precisely at the center of the Cyclades with so many islands around, thus making your travelling trips in Greece an ideal alternative.

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

There are a lot of choices and so numerous anchorages to stay even in very rough conditions, that sailing is enjoyable and safe even for fairly inexperienced teams.

Day 1: Set cruise around Paros for your first destination, Naxos. Naxos is one of the biggest islands of the Cyclades with fantastic interest and numerous sights.

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 method we will stop at a good anchorage, Roga, for swimming and lunch. Kalando is a special place. It is not a town, however it provides a perfect shelter for the luxury yacht. It's an isolated location with a long sandy beach and lots of kilometers of routes by the beachfront, suitable for treking in the pure nature. For dinner a kiosk run by a regional shepherd offers barbeque just with regional items. Don't expect luxuries here. Undoubtedly, it's going to be your preferred place at the end.

Day 3: Set sail from Kalando heading for Koufonisi. Remarkable colors everywhere.Koufonisi by far the most stunning of the small Cyclades islands with lots of sandy beaches all around.

Day 4: If the wind is strong, remain in the location going to the nearby island of Kato Koufonisi and swim in the crystal clear waters, snorkelling or go hiking around. Since 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 safeguarded from big waves. In the afternoon return to the very same marina in Pano Koufonisi.

In case that the weather permits set sail to Amorgos, the island of the "Big blue" motion picture. Go to the popular monastery with the breath taken view from its terrace and try "rakomelo", the regional alcohol drink.

Day 5: Iraklia is another island of the "Minor Cyclades" which is worth to be visited specifically for those who wish to experience tiny, quiet, cute and isolated places, representative of the Greek spirit. So after a brief stop for swimming at Antikeros on our way from Amorgos to Iraklia we will end up at the picturesque port of the island.

Here you can swim to the close-by beach, diving from the private yacht and hiking around taking pleasure in the pure nature. Supper 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 trip and of course after the crucial stop for lunch and swimming we end up in Antiparos late in the afternoon. Roaming around the small streets of the lovely town, have supper in among the hundred dining establishments and continue with a beverage at one of the regional bars. Nightlife here, especially in high season, is a must for everyone.

Day 7: Before setting sail for your final location check out the cave of Antiparos. Buses are available simply 100 meters away from the private yacht.
