The Cyclades you wouldn't expect: from Mykonos to Cape …

This holiday follows a natural arc that descends southwest from Mykonos to the Attic coast, crossing simple and essential islands, where sea and land remain in constant dialogue.

We begin by leaving Mykonos behind and entering the silence of Rineia, an island that returns to its uninhabited state at night. From here, we continue, alternating between open sea, sheltered bays, and small harbors: Syros, with its historic and urban soul; Kythnos, marked by the slow rhythm of its bays; and Kea, the natural gateway to the Cyclades, rugged and discreet.

The journey ends in front of Cape Sounio, with the Temple of Poseidon overlooking the Aegean, marking the return to the mainland after a week spent sailing among the most unexpected Cyclades.

There are several boarding options available:
• Cabin charter: shared double cabin
Booking a bed in a double cabin, shared with another guest of the same gender.
• Double cabin for single use
Book your cabin for exclusive use, with a 40% discount on the second rate.
• Exclusive boat
Charter the entire vessel for a private group of up to six guests, with more advantageous conditions than individual reservations.

We take care of the galley (paid for by the common fund) and the onboard cuisine, paying particular attention to the quality of the ingredients and the pleasure of sharing. Life on board is informal, but with a few rules: after meals, settling in naturally becomes a time for collaboration.

We use porcelain tableware and crystal glassware, a conscious choice to reduce plastic use and enhance even the simplest gestures. For washing, we use seawater wherever possible, followed by a final rinse in fresh water.

Days begin with a Mediterranean breakfast, featuring Greek yogurt, honey, fresh and dried fruit, bread, butter, jams, cheeses, and cured meats. Lunches are light and fresh, inspired by Greek, Italian, and seasonal cuisine, while dinners are a time to savor slowly: raw seafood, grilled fish and meat, fresh vegetable creations, and dishes prepared with local ingredients.

While meals on board are one of the most special moments—eating on board, with the sea all around and the silence of the harbor—we always plan a couple of opportunities to enjoy authentic Greek cuisine in traditional taverns.

Meal times also follow the rhythm of the sea, adapting to routes and weather conditions.

Plan

Day 1 Mykonos → Rineia 8 mn
Boarding in Mykonos around 11:00 AM and cabin assignments. The cruise takes us to the uninhabited island of Rineia. Its white-sand bays and clear waters are the perfect refuge for a day of swimming, snorkeling, and total relaxation, with the boat seemingly suspended between sky and sea. We spend the night at anchor.

Day 2 Rineia → Syros 16 minutes
A leisurely morning spent exploring Rineia and then departing for Syros, the island home to the administrative capital of the Cyclades, Ermoupoli. Once an important textile industry center, it stands out for its neoclassical architecture, stately mansions, and the bustling industrial port in the heart of town. We'll dock or anchor in Vari Bay and take a bus to the city for dinner.

Day 3 Syros 10 minutes
After an evening spent exploring the city, we return to nature, with a beautiful day at the beach in Syros's bays like Kini, Galissas, or Grammata. We'll admire the sunset over the water while anchoring in one of the island's western bays, where we'll spend the night.

Day 4 Syros → Kythnos 24 min
Arrival on the eastern coast of Kythnos for lunch and a swim. Spend the night in port in Loutra, a small seaside village known for its natural hot springs. The quiet and welcoming harbor is ideal for a stroll along the seafront and dinner at a taverna. A day combining sea and slow tourism.

Day 5 Kythnos 10 minutes
Set sail for Kolona Bay in the north of the island: the narrow sandy isthmus divides the turquoise water into two, with transparent seabeds inviting exploration and water sports. Spend the night at anchor in a quiet bay to experience the most authentic and peaceful Kythnos.

Day 6 Kythnos → Kea 12 nm
We set sail for Kea, the gateway to the Cyclades. The island welcomes us with bays of crystal-clear water and wind-sculpted coastlines. An afternoon of swimming and relaxation. A night at anchor, wrapped in silence.

Day 7 Kea → Cape Sounio 20 nm
Sail along the Attica coast to the majestic Cape Sounio, dominated by the Temple of Poseidon, which watches over the Aegean like a majestic guardian. Disembarkation at a nearby marina or port, depending on mooring availability, around 12:00.
