Overview

What does this 7 day itinerary cover?

A week-long luxury yacht charter through the Greek Cyclades, from Mykonos and Santorini to hidden gems like Paros, Antiparos, and Koufonisi. It runs 7 days from Athens / Mykonos.

The Cyclades are the essence of Greece, whitewashed villages cascading down volcanic hillsides, ancient ruins overlooking the Aegean, and waters of impossible blue. This 7-day itinerary balances iconic destinations with hidden coves only accessible by yacht.

From the cosmopolitan energy of Mykonos to the caldera views of Santorini, with stops at the lesser-known gems that locals treasure most. Your crew knows these islands intimately and will guide you to the best anchorages, tavernas, and sunset spots.

Fully customisable. Add the Dodecanese, extend to Crete, or focus on the Small Cyclades for ultimate seclusion.
