The Cyclades

Leave Athens and start the week in the water. Kea is an easy first passage, leaving plenty of time for toys, swimming and dinner under the stars.

Swim in the morning, then tender ashore for a late beach-club lunch. Stay for the music or head back onboard to change before dinner and a night in Mykonos Town.

Find a bay away from everyone else and spend the morning doing exactly what a yacht is for. Later, head into Naoussa for boutiques, dinner and a lively evening around the harbour.

Explore the tiny islands and hidden coves around Antiparos by tender. Head ashore for lunch and stay for the atmosphere, or disappear back to the yacht for the afternoon.

Change the pace in Sifnos, an island that does understated particularly well. Explore its whitewashed villages, swim from the yacht and find a table worth staying at for a few hours.

Find an empty beach, get the toys out and leave the schedule behind. Later, head up to Chora for sunset with the Aegean spread out below you.

Wake at anchor and swim before breakfast. Then point the bow towards Athens and enjoy the last run across the Aegean.
