SHARE & SAIL: explore Cyclades with new friends

A carefully crafted sailing holiday for singles, couples and small group of friends who are open to meet new faces and share the fun.

The trip starts from Syros island, right in the heart of Cyclades offering safe and comfortable passages to the most stunning hidden gems.

Each day brings us on a different Cycladic island, with sailing time from 2-4hrs.
Plenty of time during the day to swim, snorkel, enjoy the Greek sun and the crystal clear water anchored in selected bays. The evenings will find us in picturesque villages, exploring ashore, with various optional activities. Each day ends with a delicious meal based on the recognised Greek cuisine.

Unparalleled comfort on a large and carefully maintained 56ft sailing yacht. The layout offers maximum privacy featuring 5 cabins for guests, each with its own WC.

George, your greek skipper and local guide is big part of the success of this trip. Positive, friendly, knowledgable, with a very personal and professional approach!

Welcome to Syros right at the heart of Cyclades. We are equally excited and looking forward to spending an unforgeable sailing week together around the hidden gems of the Greek islands.
Arriving at the beautiful Finikas Marina where our trip starts, you can drop your luggage at the boat and enjoy a splash in the nearby crystal clear water or a tasteful lunch right in front of the marina, awaiting the check-in time, which is at 14:00. Everyone is on board and after our 30min briefing we sail out to Serifos island.
Our first swim stop takes place in the beautiful beach of Psili Ammos following an anchorage at Livadi bay. We enjoy the local cuisine for our dinner at the little port village of Serifos, reachable by dinghy.

Day 2
We wake up at Serifos bay and after breakfast there is an optional activity of walking up to the top of Chora, the main Serifos village with the breathtaking view. We sail out to Sifnos later in the afternoon, just after our swim and lunch. Arriving at Vathi of Sifnos we enjoy our evening swimming and later find ourselves around the table of beautiful seafront taverna discussing the day’s highlights.

First thing in the morning after breakfast is getting a short bus ride to Artemonas to experience the whitewashed path to nearby Apollonia, the capital of Sifnos. After enjoying our coffee with locals a short taxi ride to the famous Castro with a limitless view to blue of the Aegean Sea. We head back to the boat for sailing out after lunch. Passing by Despotiko we reach the south bays of Antiparos for a refreshing splash in the crystal clear water and a seafront dinner hard to forget

Day 4
Taking advantage of the morning wind we sail to Iraklia island. A population of approximately 80 people during the winter, kept this little paradise off the beaten tack of mainstream tourism. Enjoy a really picturesque place. Relaxing on the beach, having drinks with view to the boat, walking at the top of the hill for the sunset. The team will gather for an unforgettable dinner in a family tavern, experiencing the Greek hospitality and approachability.

Enjoy this well-deserved blessed piece of land.

Day 6
Early start to Naxos, the largest -in surface- island of the Cyclades. An endless sandy beach on the west side of the island and the sea front picturesque main village. No doubt you could literally spend days and days to explore. Take a glimpse to the Greek history walking up the white washed alleys, experience history, art, different tastes of local goodies, discover inspired gifts for your beloved ones back home. Rent bike and reach the nearby beaches, let your skipper organise windsurfing lessons for you or a half day road trip to the inland villages. After a whole day exploring we gather all for our dinner, sharing the fun, the thoughts and the highlights.

A few hours later, sailing for lunch to Ermoupoli the capital of Cyclades your skipper drops you so that you take full advantage of the day and sails the boat to Finikas Marina, where you will rejoin late in the evening for dinner.
Ermoupoli with its 19th-century architecture, is always full of life. Explore the pedestrianized streets and some of the finest tastes in Cyclades. You can optionally visit Ano Hora, the old town on the top of the hill. The end of the day will find you all back to Finikas for your last dinner in front of the water.
