This experience, in a nutshell

THIS YEAR WE HAVE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE LONG WEEKEND OF JUNE 2 BY A FEW DAYS. Join this beautiful idea.

We will sail together aboard two sailing catamarans between the fantastic and windy islands of the central Aegean Sea.

 

The central Cyclades (Sifnos, Serifos, Paros, Antiparos, Naxos, Donoususa, Amorgos) with the Micro Cyclades (Herakleia, Schinoussa, Koufonisia, Keros) offer exceptional itineraries for those who want to experience the sea discovering the many emotions that a land and coasts like these can give. Paros will be our natural base, a starting point, to get to know this triangle of sea and fabulous places. 

 

We will sail under full sail among the thousand inlets of the islets that we will meet in the archipelago, within wonderful marine oases.

We will be able to savor the beauty of the solitary sun-kissed islands, dive into turquoise waters and enjoy the days in the cheerful company of new friends, up to aperitifs at sunset and dinners in the marinas or under the stars, before falling asleep in the roadstead in the moonlight in one of the many protected bays.

 

Sailing in a flotilla is a unique and unforgettable experience!

Are you curious to experience it too?

Come with us!

Leg 1

KOUFONISSI

A miniature paradise, Koufonissi is a place hard to forget. One of the most beautiful Greek islands, with a surprisingly cosmopolitan atmosphere despite the fact that the island is only 4 square kilometers.

It is a calm island, it has practically no traffic, but you will find beautiful beaches and an elegant nightlife for a mature audience.

The locals here have always lived from fishing, but they do their best to renovate and refresh streets and houses before each summer.

Leg 2

DONOUSSA

It is the easternmost island of the small Cyclades. There are 5 villages on the island: Stavros center and the main port of the island is the largest.

It is a handful of white houses adorned with wonderful bougainvillea, here in the picturesque streets and on the seafront there are some taverns, bars and minimarkets.

Of unique beauty are the beaches with crystal clear waters of Stavros, Kedros, Lividi and Kalotaritissa; All along the coast, there are many small bays to be discovered.

Donoussa is an ideal island for relaxation, or for some walks in nature. The steep coastline, hills and blue water are admirable.

Leg 3

SCHINOUSSA

Schinoussa is a wild island; A strip of land with crystal clear sea with golden beaches and waters with colors that cover the entire range of blue and green. There is no social life in Schinoussa. The main village of the island is Panagia or Chora in this pretty village with white houses adorned with bougainvillea.

Schinoussa is a small paradise, for a holiday away from the usual tourist itineraries!

There is no calmer island than this. There is almost no traffic, few people and quiet life are the main features of this relatively green island.

The most famous is Psilì Ammos a sandy beach, turquoise sea and a few trees; Other beautiful bays are located all along the coast.

Leg 4

AMORGOS

Amorgos is nicknamed "The Pearl of the Aegean" for its breathtaking landscape and nature.
It has a deep sea of infinite shades of blue, there are beautiful unspoiled villages, numerous churches and the famous monastery, to visit, of Hozioviotissa.On the island we find more than 100 km of wild and beautiful coasts. There is no mass tourism and therefore it is very livable even in August.
The beaches of the island are beautiful and can often only be reached by boat, so it will be fine for us, they will be less crowded. The beaches of fine sand and transparent sea are located in the area of Aigiali and in the southwest area we find the enchanting beach of Kalotiratissa.
The beaches of the island are enchanting and quite numerous, however sometimes not immediate to reach.
And, with a few exceptions, they can be reached through boats and colorful caiques moored in the ports of Katapola and Aegiali, or through paths, sometimes impervious, and therefore only for adults, which almost always give, to those who wish, the view of suggestive places.
The beaches of fine sand and transparent sea (also shallow and this makes it ideal even for the little ones), easy to reach are located in the area of Aigiali and in the southwest area we find the beach of Kalotiratissa.

Leg 5

PAROS and ANTIPAROS

The island of Antiparos is separated from Paros by a narrow strip of sea and among all the Cyclades islands it stands out for its sandy beaches and genuine natural beauty.

There are numerous beaches overlooking a crystal clear sea with blue-green waters and a seabed rich in fish and marine flora.

Around Antiparos there are dozens of deserted islets. In its main village, Chora, most of the activities are concentrated besides some very beautiful beaches.

The village of Chora is in fact the most important inhabited center and also the only port of Antiparos. It is a little gem. The island of Paros is located in the heart of the Cyclades. It has a beautiful coastline 120 km long.

The island is known for its marble, magnificent beaches with crystal clear waters, typical architectural constructions, imposing cliffs. The capital of the island together with the town of Naoussa are the most popular places.

The itinerary may be subject to changes due to weather conditions and/or technical or logistical reasons, in order to ensure safety and a pleasant sailing experience for all participants.

Wonderful places, unique islands, each one with different characteristics. The boat was really nice and big, with some malfunctions but nothing compromising. Too bad I didn't take advantage of every day to visit coves, the last day we were in Capo d'Orlando to avoid the queue at the refueling, I understand the needs but ... The only flaw is the feeling that a tour was planned but without being interested in the opportunities of the area, you get off and you don't know what to see or how to move, you spend the night in Lipari and the next evening there is the feast of the Patron that you miss ... Navigation yes but organization no. Competent skipper who always made me feel safe while sailing, I did not like the requests from the galley and the lack of knowledge about extra navigation information. The holiday was described as a flotilla but a separation between the two boats is deliberately maintained, which did not create problems for me but it is only for fairness.

I would have liked more information and indications on places to visit and more interaction with the catamaran, since it was a flotilla holiday. Thanks to Gabriele, an experienced skipper, I have always felt safe even in the face of the unexpected. Seeing the Aeolian Islands like this, I was not enthusiastic but I was lucky to have experienced, collaborative and nice people on the boat!

2 Catamarans in Greece: discover the Sporades Islands with us

Wonderful experience and above expectations! The skipper Fabrizio, in addition to being very experienced, perfectly interpreted the group's wishes by taking us every day to coves with spectacular water and different but intact and wild locations (including a natural park where everyone left their hearts), and alternating in a balanced way the much-loved roadsteads with stops in the ports, in which there was no lack of chore characteristics. We ate very well because in the lucky group there were very good chefs who prepared pasta, flatbread, fish and other delicacies every day! The boat was comfortable and organized! An experience for which I would leave today and that I recommend to all lovers of the sea experienced on a boat!
