Cyclades
Sailing the sun-kissed Cyclades
The crown jewels of the Aegean Sea come in all types and sizes. What they all share in common is crystal-clear blue waters, sparkling whitewashed houses, beaches of indescribable beauty, world-famous archaeological sites and an unmatched culinary tradition.
This former mythical battleground of giants, that took its name because of the circle (kyklos) that the islands of the cluster formed around the sacred island of Delos, is by far the most celebrated Greek destination in the planet.
Easily reached from Athens, located at a short distance from each other and with a wide variety of travel experiences to offer, the Cyclades are rightfully a particularly attractive sailing destination that never ceases to amaze its visitors. Regardless of which one of its 33 islands, they will decide to include in their sailing itinerary. The only problem is that, although you can sail to a different island every day, time is never enough to thoroughly explore the seen and hidden treasures that each one has to offer.
Entrust the seasoned experts of Plori Yachting to help you plan a perfect Cyclades sailing holiday, tailor-made to your exact taste. Having in mind that here the cosmopolitan (Mykonos, Santorini, Paros), the graceful (Syros, Sifnos, Kea) and the unspoilt (Serifos, Kea) are only a few nautical miles distance from each other.
Kea, charming and mysterious
The closest to Athens of the Cycladic islands is rightfully one of the first stops of your yacht charter since it offers a unique blend of style, grace and natural beauty.
Syros: The Cyclades graceful capital
Located in the middle of the celebrated island cluster, Syros is genuinely in a league of its own and more than worthy of being a primary stop at your sailing itinerary.
Kythnos, the beauty of simplicity
Typical Cycladic in style and usually underrated, this charming island offers a truly unique combination of sandy beaches, thermal hot springs and tasty traditional cuisine that you should make a point to experience during with your yacht charter.
Serifos: The chill-out island of the Cyclades
Rightfully boasting one of the most enchanting Hora’s in the Aegean and over 70 sandy beaches, the playground of the mythical hero Perseus makes for a fascinating stop in your sailing itinerary.
Sifnos: Deliciously enchanting
Featuring all the trademark characteristics of a Cycladic island (beautiful villages, fabulous beaches, excellent food and over 365 churches) Sifnos is one of those places that you find yourself -and your yacht charter- keep wanting to return year after year.
Mykonos: The VIP party capital of the Cyclades
The island that reigns supreme over the Greek summer is by far the most cosmopolitan in the Mediterranean with world-calibre hotels, restaurants and beach bars.
Paros: Aegean’s rising star
Αn all-time classic whitewashed Cycladic island that currently offers both a robust cosmopolitan vibe and fun in the sun aura. Along with its world-famous alter ego Antiparos, it should be definitely included in every sailing itinerary.
Santorini: The most breathtaking island in the world
By far the most awe-inspiring of the Cycladic islands, the volcanic 'empress' of the Aegean deserves every dithyrambic article written over the years about her. Experience cosmopolitan Santorini fully with your yacht charter as you fall madly in love with its unparalleled beauty.
