Day One
Arrive in Mykonos and board your yacht at a private marina, where the lively atmosphere sets the tone for the journey ahead. After a welcome briefing, enjoy a short cruise along the coastline, passing beach clubs and golden shores. The afternoon is ideal for a swim or relaxing onboard before heading ashore to explore the island’s iconic whitewashed streets. Overnight at a nearby anchorage or marina.

Cruise south toward Paros, where calmer waters and a more relaxed pace await. Arrive in Naoussa, a charming harbour lined with boutique restaurants and traditional fishing boats. Spend the afternoon swimming in sheltered bays or exploring the village’s narrow streets. Evening dining is best enjoyed waterfront, with a quieter, refined atmosphere.
Day Three
A short passage brings you to Naxos, the largest island in the Cyclades, known for its rich history and expansive coastline. Visit the iconic Portara at sunset or explore inland villages for a cultural contrast. The coastline offers long sandy beaches ideal for swimming and water activities. Anchor overnight in a calm bay or marina.
Day Four
Cruise further east to Koufonisia, a smaller and more secluded island known for its vivid turquoise waters. The day is centred around swimming, paddleboarding, and exploring hidden coves along the coastline. The relaxed pace and minimal development create a sense of privacy rarely found in the Cyclades. Overnight at anchor under clear skies.
Day Five
Sail toward Ios, where dramatic cliffs meet lively island culture. The afternoon can be spent at Manganari Beach, known for its calm waters and open space. Later, head into the main town for a blend of relaxed dining and understated nightlife. The island offers a balance between scenic cruising and social energy.
Day Six
Arrive in Santorini, one of the most visually striking destinations in the Mediterranean. Cruise along the caldera, where steep volcanic cliffs rise dramatically from the sea. Spend the afternoon exploring ashore or enjoying the view from onboard before settling in for a sunset experience. Overnight near the caldera or marina.
Day Seven
Enjoy a relaxed morning onboard with breakfast as the yacht makes a gentle coastal cruise. Take in final views of Santorini’s cliffs before returning to the marina for disembarkation. The journey concludes with a smooth departure, leaving time for onward travel or further exploration on land.
