Discover the Cyclades on a luxury yacht with all the comforts
Cape Sounion
Cape Sounion, or Cape Sounion, in Greece, is a special place for the Athenians. In fact, this promontory, not far from Athens and on the southern tip of Attica, was the last strip of land that sailors and soldiers looked at as they moved away towards their travels and military expeditions. This was also the first point of reference that they hoped to see again, since it meant they had returned home.
Kea
The beautiful Kea shares its destiny with those who adore it, an island almost unknown outside the borders of Greece. There is no doubt that Kea is an island that deserves more attention. Let’s be clear, it is a place that will belong in the heart only to those who are part of a certain group of people: those who love the delicacy, the rough solitude that make up the mosaic of the Mediterranean. A boat, the wind, agaves dried in the sun, skins scratched by the sun. Here you will find the luxury of simplicity, the joy of color.
The island fits like a glove to those who travel to discover genuine places, endless walks on old mule tracks immersed in splendid valleys, and curious monuments.
Kithnos
Between the islands of Kea and Serifos lies the small island of Kythnos (or Kithnos), loved especially by Greek tourists. The island is quiet and practically uncontaminated and offers the traveler 65 wonderful beaches of fine sand. The most beautiful beaches are those of Merichas, Episkopi, Flambouria, reachable only by boat, and Aghios Stefanos. The most impressive beach, however, is Kolona, ??a long stretch of fine sand that enters the sea and creates two beaches.
Chora, or Messaria, is the capital of this island full of vineyards. The city of Loutra is famous for its sulphurous thermal springs, considered an important cure for arthritis, dermatitis and gynecological problems. Dryopida is a hilltop village surrounded by several windmills, built around the Katafiki cave with beautiful sea views. Merihas is the port on the west coast and is nestled around a small bay, and further north is the beautiful beach of Martinakia.
Serifos
Serifos has become known as one of the best Greek islands for couples, families and groups of friends and is an up-and-coming gem in the Cyclades. You might say this is due to its many pristine beaches and its intriguing history, centred around the island’s ancient iron and copper mines and mythological tales involving Perseus and Medusa. Or perhaps it’s because the main town (Hora) is built in the shape of an amphitheatre and was once a pirate lookout.
Sifnos
There are 13 permanently inhabited villages on Sifnos, all within walking distance of each other. Each one seems to entice you with its own history of architecture, food, traditions, lively locals and everything that makes this Cycladic island so wonderful.
The cobbled streets, the white alabaster houses, the blue-domed churches and the windmills are all postcard Cycladic. But there are also special touches on this island, including the workshops where clay is shaped on pedal-powered pottery wheels into pots and fireplaces (flari), before being decorated and fired in wood-fired ovens.
It’s the little details that you’ll love the most (the cisterns in the houses that collect precious rainwater and the dovecotes) and, this is Sifnos, the irresistible smell of food that will invite you into cozy tavernas.
Let’s not forget the welcoming locals, whose warmth and hospitality are as deep as the island’s traditions.
The Saronic Islands and the Eastern Peloponnese
In case of strong Meltemi we will head south towards Angistri, beautiful, and the peninsula of Methana, with its characteristic little port of Vathi.
We will then go to Poros and the legendary Hydra, an island where cars are replaced by donkeys.
Evenings in beautiful and silent bays or in small ports with dinners in the characteristic taverns of the small villages that we will encounter along the route.
