Accommodation

Day 1: Santorini – Ios

Check out the range of restaurants, shops and bars in the island’s capital, Fira. An absolute must is to take a walk along the caldera’s rim to Firostefani, Imerovigli and Oia. This is a particularly memorable experience at sunset, but make sure you leave plenty of time so you aren’t walking in darkness. Santorini’s volcanic beaches are another must-see.

Day 2: Amorgos

Sail to the rugged island of Amorgos (approximately 4 hours). This is the stunning location of Luc Bresson’s film, ‘The Big Blue’. Stop for a swim at Paradisi Beach before continuing along the coast to the port of Katapola.

Day 3: Small Cyclades

Cast off and sail to the Small Cyclades this morning (approximately 4 hours). This group of islands boast quaint fishing villages, clear waters and beautiful beaches. While all of these islands once harboured communities in ancient times, the middle ages saw this reduced to just pirates and goats.

Days 4-5: Naxos

Today you’ll make your way to the largest Cycladic island of Naxos. There’s the option of taking a day trip around the island, but you can always stay behind and relax. The island’s best beaches are to the south, where water sports are also on offer.

Day 6: Syros

Sail to the island of Syros (approximately 4 hours), dropping by the Bay of Gaidharos along the way for a swim. Known for its relaxed atmosphere and neo-classical architecture, Syros’ neutral role during the Greek revolution made it a safe haven for the persecuted.

Day 7: Mykonos

In the morning, raise anchor and set off on a short cruise (approximately 3 hours) to an island packed with beauty and glamour, Mykonos.

Day 8: Sifnos

Set sail for the island of Sifnos, known for its production of high quality ceramics. The island’s bare hills belie fertile valleys of wild juniper, terraced olive groves and almond trees. The beach in the main port of Kamares is one of the best on the island and the ideal place to swim.

Day 9: Folegandros

Sail towards the tranquil island of Folegandros this morning. Named after the son of a former King of Crete, Folegandros has suffered a long history of colonisation and occupation like many of the surrounding islands. In the port of Karavostasis, the pebbly beach or a waterfront taverna are nice places to relax.

Day 10: Santorini

Bid farewell to the open water as you sail back through the caldera and drop anchor in Santorini.
