WESTERN CYCLADES
1 Week Sailing Itinerary
The Itinerary at a Glance
Departure & Return: Alimos Marina
Suggested Duration: 1 week or 2 weeks
Style: Island-hopping, scenic, and beautifully varied
Embark on a sailing journey through the Cyclades, where dramatic coastlines, whitewashed villages, crystalline waters, and long sun-filled days create the essence of a Greek island escape.
For a one-week charter, choose a more focused route through the western Cyclades, discovering the calm bays of Kythnos, the food-led charm of Sifnos, the remarkable coastline of Milos, and the luminous waters around Kimolos and Polyaigos. It is an ideal balance of relaxed sailing, swimming, and understated island life.
With two weeks, the journey can unfold at a slower, more expansive pace. Combine the western Cyclades with iconic stops such as Kea, Syros, Mykonos, and Paros, allowing time for cosmopolitan harbour life, traditional villages, exceptional dining, and quiet anchorages away from the crowds.
