Route info

Day 1: Meet your skipper at the marina at 11:00 and board the sailboat. After the briefing concerning your trip, set sail around Paros for our first destination, Iraklia. 

Paros – Iraklia 22nm (4.5 hours). Iraklia is another island of the “Small Cyclades” which is worth to be visited especially for those who want to experience tiny, quiet, cute and isolated places, representative of the Greek spirit. So after a short stop for swimming at Antikeros on our way from Amorgos to Iraklia, we will end up at the picturesque port of the island.
Here you can swim to the nearby beach, diving from the yacht and hiking around enjoying the pure nature. Dinner at Iraklia means fresh fishes and the local tavernas more hospitable than anywhere else are ready to fulfill your expectations.

Day 2: Iraklia – Koufonisi: (2 hours). Set sail from Iraklia to Koufonisi. Enjoy your trip in this protected area. The view is amazing during this short sailing trip. Koufonisi is further the most beautiful of the small Cyclades islands with many sandy beaches all around. Rent a bicycle and visit all of them. Dinner at “Captain Nicolas” place is out of any kind of negotiation as well as a frozen mojito at the windmill bar just above the marina.

Day 3: Koufonisi – Schoinousa:(1.5hours). After a short sailing trip, you will arrive in Schoinousa. Colors and fragrances of the Aegean in a small place on the map but great in our heart. An islet that you will love from the very first moment for its people, for its natural, tranquil rhythms, for its fantastic beaches.Ιn Schinoussa you will not come for luxurious accommodation and lively life, but to relax in mild rhythms and small sizes, to walk on quiet paths, to swim on tropical beaches

Day 4: The fourth day. You have two options. You can either visit Kalando(1h trip) or Antiparos(4h trip). Kalando is a special place. There is a safe port for the yacht but not a village. It’s an isolated area with a long sandy beach and many kilometers of trails by the seaside, ideal for hiking in the pure nature. For dinner, a primitive kiosk operated by a local shepherd offers BBQ only with local products. Don’t expect luxuries here. For sure it’s going to be your favorite place at the end.

On the other hand, the fourth day you may want to visit Antiparos isle instead of Kalando. After a relatively long sailing hop, you will arrive in Antiparos. Wandering around the small streets of the beautiful village, have dinner in one of the decades of restaurants and continue with a drink at one of the local bars. Nightlife here, especially in high season is a must for everyone.

Day 5: This is the last day of your trip. If you start from Kalando it will be a long sailing trip to Paros(5,5h). Of course, you will stop for lunch and the necessary swim on a protected bay. On the other hand, if you start from Antiparos the last sailing hop to Paros will be a short one(1h). We strongly recommend you before setting sail for our final destination, to visit the cave of Antiparos. Buses are operating just 100 meters away from the yacht. On your return on board, we will leave immediately for a nice anchorage on a small island north of Antiparos with crystal clear water. The afternoon has already come as well as the farewell time at Paros port.
