Alternative Greece cruise experience to islands in the Cyclades. Mix of conventional cruising and yachting. Athens to Paros, Folegrandros, Santorini & more

For those that wish, an optional extra tour of the Akrotiri archaeological site can be arranged. Evening enjoy the world-famous Santorini sunset. Overnight in Santorini (on anchor).
Sail to Paros, with a quick swimming stop in a beautiful bay on neighboring Antiparos.

Overnight in Paros.
On the way to Mykonos, stop for a few hours at sacred Delos. The island is an archaeological and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then continue to the island of Mykonos, and the night is yours to enjoy the vibe at the hottest bars and restaurants. Overnight in Mykonos.
