If you enjoy the sea, are seeking for the deep feelings of nature, want to get away from your daily routine, and want to widen your horizons, then a sailing vacation is just what you're looking for
During a seven-day sailing vacation through the famed Cyclades, you may fulfill your fantasies of sailing the Greek Islands. Cruise the Aegean Sea from Santorini in search of historical cities, quiet coves, and tourist attractions like as Mykonos and Paxos. Add in some freshly caught seafood, local wines, and a laid-back way of life, and you're ready to float and roll to the rhythms of the sea. Cool down with regular swims in the Aegean's turquoise seas and get the lay of the land from a local guide who knows everyone in the right location. It's all smooth sailing from here.
Day 01
We will depart from Marina Alimou in Athens and travel for 4 hours to Sounio. The point at the southernmost extremity of the Attic peninsula is known as Cape Sounion. It is famous for the Temple of Poseidon, one of Athens' great monuments from the Golden Period. As the different Greek commanders sailed back from Troy, the helmsman of King Menelaus of Sparta's ship perished while passing "Holy Sounion, Cape of Athens," according to legend. Sounion was again fortified in the nineteenth year of the Peloponnesian War to safeguard the passage of the cornships to Athens, and was recognized as one of the primary fortresses of Attica from that time.
Day 02
Around 3-4 hours, depart from Sounio and go to Kolona, Kythnos. The geomorphological features of the area make Kolona beach special. It is essentially a short strip of land that links Kythnos to Agios Loukas. The beautiful, golden sand and the water lapping on both sides add to its allure. Furthermore, the beach is flanked by mild, almost barren slopes that are ideal for hikers.
In the afternoon, depart from Kolona and travel 3 hours to Megalo livadi on Serifos.
Megalo Livadi is a beach hamlet on the southwestern coast of Serifos that was created owing to the adjacent bauxite mining. It today has only 50 residents, but it was formerly greatly developed owing to mineral extraction. Certain components of this tradition have survived and may be seen today, such as the mining ladder from 1932 and the Metal Workers Monument. The loading ramps are still there, but they are now part of the natural environment, along with a few railway lines and some old vehicles. The remnants of the past represent the splendour that has passed.
Day 03
Depart Megalo Livadi and go to Adamadas port in Milos (4 hours 30 minutes). Adamas is Milos' principal port as well as a coastal hamlet with white buildings glistening in the Aegean Sea. This settlement was created in 1835 by Sfakia refugees who arrived from Crete after their insurrection against the Turks failed. Consider visiting the Milos Ecclesiastical Museum, which houses a collection that encompasses centuries of local art traditions. It is located near Adamadas' beachfront and is open seven days a week. (9:00-13:00 & 18:00-22:00)
Day 04
Leave Adamadas and go to Kato Mersini in Polyaigos (2 hours 30 minutes). Kato Mersini is a beach on Polyaigos, an uninhabited island. It's ideal for a barbecue or a trek, as well as a swim in its crystal blue waters. The absence of occupants, and hence lights and sounds, allows tourists to enjoy the wonderful environment and have a good time. The majority of people that visit Kato Mersini mention the wonderful view of the sky at night and recommend sleeping outside as a result. (Don't forget to acquire your BBQ materials while you're still in Adamadas.)
Day 05
From Kato Mersini and go to Kamares on Sifnos (4 hours 30 minutes).Kamares is Sifnos' major seaside hamlet and harbor. It is a modest fishing village with a taste of tourism but not enough to make it seem like a 'port'. Because of its long beach, lush valley, outstanding restaurants and cafés, and the fact that boats seldom leave, it is an excellent area for families to stay. The harbor of Kamares is a long, secluded cove with no waves, making it warm.
You may go to vroulidia beach in the afternoon, which is less than an hour away, so that your travel the next morning will be shorter. It has clear waters and is generally not widy.
Day 06
Leave Vroulidia / Kamares and go to Merihas, Kythnos' major harbor, where you will spend 5-6 hours.Merihas is a tiny town on Kythnos that is the first stop for many tourists due to its location as the island's only ferry terminal. A cost is charged for water and electricity. Sailors may obtain the necessary cards at the first supermarket, which also sells boat fuel. While the settlement is not typical of the Cyclades, it provides an appealing sailing destination with its numerous cafés, restaurants, and retail facilities.
Day 07
You will spend 4-5 hours driving from Merihas to Legrena beach.Legrena beach is another another fantastic Greek beach, with crystal blue seas and little coves with rocky outcroppings and stones. It is the ideal last stop before returning to Athens because it is clean, somewhat peaceful, and near to Marina Alimou. Grab some groceries from Merihas and spend the day at the beach before returning to Athens in the evening.
