Description
Paros Departure to the Quiet Corners of the Southern Cyclades
Starting in Paros gives you a head start toward the serene southwest Cyclades, with quick access to Sifnos’ tidy villages, Folegandros’ dramatic cliffs, and Milos’ volcanic shores. Boarding at a well-equipped Paros marina keeps paperwork, provisioning, and luggage handling easy so you can be underway swiftly, guided by a professional skipper whose focus is comfort and safety. The charter is guest-centered and flexible, with optional provisioning, private transfers, and early check-in available on request.
This itinerary favors clear-water anchorages, sculpted coastlines, and villages that still feel wonderfully local. Expect unhurried afternoons, long swims, and evenings split between simple tavernas and cockpit dinners under enormous star fields.
About Our Service in the Cyclades - 7 Days Paros, Sifnos, Folegandros, Milos, Polyegos, Kimolos, Serifos, Antiparos
Distances are approximate and routing is always adjusted for weather and guest comfort. Your skipper will suggest the best windows for passages and the quietest corners for the night.
Day 1 - Embarkation in Paros (17:00)
Welcome aboard in Parikia or Naoussa. After the safety briefing and a walkthrough of the yacht, enjoy sunset on deck with the harbor lights beginning to twinkle. Stay for dinner ashore at a nearby taverna or keep it low-key onboard with a simple Greek spread. Overnight in the marina or a calm outer bay.
Day 2 - Paros to Sifnos - 23 NM
Unfurl the sails for an easy run to Platy Gialos. Swim over pale sand in gin-clear water and stroll Sifnos’ lanes in Apollonia where white walls and stone paths lead to tiny shops and cafés. Dinner highlights include chickpea dishes, island cheeses, and honeyed pastries. Sleep comes easily at anchor.
Day 3 - Sifnos to Folegandros - 20 NM
Folegandros rises sheer from the sea - a dramatic change of scenery. Anchor near Karavostasis or in a quiet cove for snorkeling before transferring ashore. The hilltop Chora rewards the climb with vast Aegean views and intimate squares. Dine at a small taverna where the catch of the day is the star.
Day 4 - Folegandros to Milos - 30 NM
Today’s passage delivers you to Milos, famed for sculptural rock and color-washed harbors. Visit Sarakiniko’s lunar white coves and, if time allows, explore the quaint fishing settlement of Pollonia. The water here feels almost luminous in the late afternoon. Return onboard for a quiet cockpit dinner or sample a creative kitchen ashore.
Day 5 - Milos to Polyegos and Kimolos - 20 NM
Make a two-island day with Polyegos’ uninhabited anchorages that glow in unreal shades of turquoise, then continue to Kimolos for a stroll through Chorio’s narrow streets. This is a day for the sea: repeated swims, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and lazy reading on deck between dips. Dinner in Kimolos tastes of the islands - straightforward, fresh, and perfectly unpretentious.
Day 6 - Kimolos to Serifos - 20 NM
Serifos’ austere headlands soften into beaches as you approach Livadi. Go ashore to wander up to Chora for panoramic views, or stay with the yacht’s gentle routine - a swim, a shaded nap, a sunset toast. The anchorage is calm and the night sky unpolluted.
Day 7 - Serifos to Antiparos to Paros - 27 NM + 2 NM
Stop in Antiparos for one last swim in crystalline water and perhaps a coffee in the village. The short hop back to Paros closes the loop with time for a farewell dinner and a final harbor stroll. The yacht’s cockpit remains the best seat in the house for the last Aegean sunset of your week.
Day 8 - Disembarkation in Paros (09:00)
After breakfast, disembark at 09:00 with a week’s worth of blue-on-blue memories and a phone full of sunlit photographs.
