Both embarkation and disembarkation will be at Paroikia, Paros , close to the marina where the ferrry boats arrive.

Cooking on board is a team job. There will be no host or dedicated chef but preparing some breakfast and light lunch during the day while enjoying swimming at an anchorhorage should be an easy and fun activity. Preferably dinner will be served ashore at the local traditional tavernas. Provisioning is made mainly on the first day, before embarkation at your own expense.

You don’t need to have sailing experience. The captain is able to handle the boat 100% by himself. Of course, you are always welcome to get involved with the art of sailing and learning the lines!

However, earlier experience of having stayed overnight in a boat is going to help you knowing what to expect in general.

Summer (June to September):

The Cyclades experience hot, dry summers with temperatures often reaching 30–35°C (86–95°F), especially in July and August. The Meltemi wind, which blows from the north, can bring some relief but also makes it feel breezy and cooler at times.

Spring (April to May) and Fall (October):

These seasons are milder, with temperatures ranging between 20–25°C (68–77°F). The weather can be warm during the day and cooler at night, so layers are ideal.

*** Wind is the main factor affecting our sailing plan. Please note that the itineraries we propose can be rearranged according to prevailing weather conditions to deliver a comfortable experience and ensure safety onboard.

The Cyclades are best enjoyed with minimal baggage. Lightweight and versatile clothing that can be mixed and matched is ideal. It’s often hot and dry, so pack only the essentials and leave extra heavy layers at home. Big trolley hard suitcases are not ideal, while soft bags that can be folded and stored easier will make living onboard much more comfortable!
