Description
Launch from D-Marin Zea, Piraeus toward the Western Cyclades where the scenery opens wide and landfalls carry real presence. Over seven days Kea, Kythnos, Serifos and Sifnos combine long perspectives, whitewashed Choras, thermal springs and sandy bays. Crossings are a touch longer than the Saronic, rewarded with cinematic arrivals and evenings where the sea turns quicksilver under a starry sky.
About Our Service in the Western Cyclades
Configured as a bareboat charter with optional skipper and chef or hostess. We help select windows around seasonal winds so your time is spent swimming, tasting and exploring rather than clock-watching. Berth suggestions and shore tips are tailored to your pace.
Day 1 (Sat) Piraeus → Kea 25-30 nm 3.5-4 h Arrive Korissia, confirm lines and power, then take a first swim around Vourkari. Head up to Ioulida for marble alleys, open views and a simple dinner that transitions everyone to island time.
Day 2 (Sun) Kea → Kythnos 20-25 nm 3-4 h Choose the emblematic Kolona sandbar for a swim across two seas or berth in Merichas. Soothe muscles in Loutra’s thermal springs, wander Dryopida and sample goat cheeses, capers and fresh pastries before an early night.
Day 3 (Mon) Kythnos → Serifos 40-45 nm 6-7 h This is the purposeful leg. An early start puts you in Livadi by afternoon. Rest and recharge, then ride up to the hilltop Chora for light that saturates white walls and sea blues. Dinner is a postcard come to life.
Day 4 (Tue) Serifos at leisure Swim at Psili Ammos where pale sand runs into clear water. Follow an easy trail to the Chora, sip something cold on a terrace and let the harbour glow extend the afternoon without effort.
Day 5 (Wed) Serifos → Sifnos 20-25 nm 3-4 h Enter Kamares or aim inland for Apollonia. Visit pottery studios, enjoy family-friendly beaches and book a taverna for an unhurried dinner that showcases Sifnos’s culinary reputation.
Day 6 (Thu) Sifnos deep dive Morning swims, chapel hikes on headlands and tastings of local cheeses and honey. Top up stores if planning a night or mixed return the next day.
Day 7 (Fri) Sifnos → Piraeus region 60-75 nm 9-11 h Shape a mixed or overnight transit. The flybridge becomes a quiet conversation pit under a field of stars while the catamaran tracks a confident line home.
Day 8 (Sat) Arrival to Zea Enter with the morning, refuel, complete paperwork and enjoy a courteous handover that keeps the relaxed feeling intact.
About Our Yacht - Lagoon 52 2013 refit 2020
Stable underway and generous at anchor, the Lagoon 52 is the constant through changing horizons. Four en-suite double cabins respect privacy while shared spaces keep the group together. The shaded aft cockpit hosts long meals, the bright saloon invites planning sessions and the flybridge delivers 360 degree views for pilotage and sunset. With A C, Wi Fi, quality audio and a water maker, the yacht stays independent between ports so you can linger when a bay feels perfect.
This Western Cyclades route suits travellers who like a touch of adventure wrapped in comfort. You trade a few extra miles for thermal pools at day’s end, ceramics that hold the island’s earth in their glaze and dinners where voices drop as stars come on. We shape the week around your crew’s energy so every arrival feels earned and every evening feels unhurried.
