1st Day:
Mykonos
Welcome to Greece! Jump on board to meet your Captain, crew and
fellow travellers. After meeting with your tour leader in the
afternoon the rest of the evening will be free to explore this
amazing island on your own. It is no coincidence that this, the most
cosmopolitan of all Greek islands, attracts so many visitors from
the entire globe. Here the steep mountains to be encountered in most
of the Cyclades islands give way to low, rocky hills which combine
with superb beaches. The capital Hora, with its colourful harbour in
which little fishing boats nest happily side by side with luxury
yachts, presents quite a different picture from that of the majority
of Aegean island towns. Mykonos is spread out over a flat area, and
the whitewashed streets stand as brilliant white cubic houses with
stepped walls for sitting on.
2nd Day:
Mykonos - Paros - Naxos
Departing from Mykonos in the small hours of the morning and heading
for Paros. Here we will have a swimming stop. Then we will set sail
to Naxos. The island of Naxos is the largest and most central island
in the Cyclades. Approaching the island by boat, you can see two
small islands to the left and right of the harbour, one with the
little church of Myrtidiotissa, and the other called Palatia which
is linked to Naxos Town. The imposing gate, Portara is an ancient
marble temple dedicated to Apollo. Ligdamis ordered this to be built
in the god's honour in the 6th century B.C After the orientation
walk in this impressive island you will have more free time to
explore the town and to swim in the warm waters of the Aegean Sea –
with an optional excursion.
3rd Day:
Naxos - Ios
Early this morning we pull anchor and start the sail to Ios. A lazy
day ahead filled with sun tanning, listening to music and on board
meals. We stop at an ideal swimming spot on the way to Ios - the
famous tourist destination. Visitors come for its golden beaches and
the characteristic Aegean architecture. Ios is well known as the
party island with the lively atmosphere and the endless fun. The
capital is built at the point where the ancient city was, where
white houses unfold and its windmills and narrow small roads can be
seen on the hill tops. We remain floating in the bay over night.
4th Day:
Ios - Santorini
As the sun comes up we head for the magic summer madness of
Santorini. It has been said that the sunsets in Santorini are the
best in the world. From the Caldera, watch breathtaking views of the
volcano & neighbouring islands. Santorini is one of the major
tourist attractions of Europe with its marvellous climate and
perfect observation conditions, you will experience a wild beauty
created from a volcano that lies in the middle of the bay. Today you
will have free time to explore the island.
5th Day:
Santorini – Amorgos or Levita
Early in the morning depends on the weather condition we'll cruise
to Amorgos or Levita. Amorgos is one of the popular islands in
Greece with white houses, crystal clear water and a peaceful
atmosphere. It is no coincidence that Luc Besson chose to shoot the
first part of the film "The Big Blue" here. Once only visited by
young travellers, Amorgos has become quite a "trendy" island since
the film was released, and it is no surprise that you will find more
adventurous people here than usual. The coastline is 112 kms long,
surrounded by impressive mountains and rocky hills and the island is
one of the best spots to taste traditional Greek cuisine and wine.
In the evening you will have free time to visit the island on your
own.
6th Day:
: Amorgos or Levita
We sail to Levita. Levita is also a popular island on the Aegean Sea
famous for its white houses, long beaches and peaceful atmosphere
7th Day:
Kos - Bodrum
This morning we will cruise to Kos (Cos), the birth place of
Hippocrates, 'the Father of Medical Sciences'. Kos is the second
largest island of the 12 Dodecanese islands and has a very mild
climate and very fertile lands. The island houses a 560-year-old
tree, a 211-year-old fountain and a 290 km long beach. You may take
a swim in Lambi Beach which is very close to Kos Harbour. After
spending our day here we'll depart Kos for Bodrum, the famous resort
town of Turkey. Bodrum is the centre of night life in the Aegean
region of Turkey and known for its amazing beaches and gullet cruise
trips. History of Bodrum dates back to the 12th century B.C. The
city was named 'Halicarnassus', which was the birthplace of
Herodotus; the 'Father of History' who lived in the 5th century B.C.
The 'Mausoleum' of King Mausolus (350 B.C.) which is one of the
Seven Wonders of the World is located in Bodrum. That's the only
structure that survived from the Classical Era is the Amphitheatre.
It is one of the oldest theatres in Anatolia with a capacity of
13.000 people, and is still hosting many shows and concerts for the
art-lovers of Bodrum. Another place that you should visit whilst in
Bodrum is the landmark of the city 'Castle of Saint Peter'. It is
one of the best preserved pieces of architecture with a history that
dates back to the Middle Ages. 'Myndos Gate' through which Alexander
the Great entered Halicarnassus is another place that you should not
miss. This evening we'll start to explore the bars, pubs and night
life of this impressive town.
8th Day:
Mykonos
The guests will leave the boat with precious memories by 10:30 after
breakfast.
The
beautiful Cyclades Islands, the island of Mykonos and the
surrounding islands, are on the mouth of the Aegean open sea, the
weather conditions can occasionally become unpredictable, due to
choppy seas and high winds. In the case that captain of the boat
believes it is safer to change the planned itinerary of the tour, an
alternative route will be followed. This may result in landing on
different islands than presented on the sample tour itinerary or
remaining on the same island until the weather conditions allow us
to continue further. Therefore please consider the below itinerary
as a sample route which may be changed depending on the weather
conditions.
