Day 4: After breakfast we set sail to the island Kithnos. On the west side there is bay with an interesting sand bar for swimming and great pictures. We can take a hike up to top of the island were the white chora (town) lies. And on the east side there is an ancient Greek/Roman mineral spring which is interesting to visit.

Day 5: Siros is an island that in the 18th and 19th century was the commercial and cultural centre in the Aegean trade route. Today Siros port is still the capital of the Cyclades. We can hike around the village and restock. At the end of the day we could go to a secluded bay at the south side of the island and overnight.
Day6: Naxos / Paros have both a lot to offer. Naxos being the biggest island in the Cyclades is also the most fertile. The landscape includes meadows running down to vast white beaches, cliffs that sink suddenly into the sea, rocky mountains nestled side-by-side with valleys filled with meandering streams and springs. The town has the typical whitewashed houses on a hill. At the Southside of the island are a few smaller islands with numerous of secluded bays.

Day 8 Opposite Mykonos is the island of Delos the centre of the world 200BC the extensive ruins are worth to visit. In the afternoon we sail back to Mykonos to welcome our guests that join for the second week. Day 9: An easy reach get's us to Ios a typical Cyclades island. Vineyards and olive trees wind down the mountains to the crystal clear sea and its superb white sandy beaches, much frequented by nudist. We drop anchor in front of one of these beaches were can stay the night. Or if we like go to the pretty harbour with lots of chapels, narrow alleys, windmills, traditional white houses and a lively nightlife. Day 10: The sea approach to Santorini is spectacular! We sail into and over the huge volcano that erupted, leaving the town perched high on its famous white cliffs. The only way to reach the city is by donkey, walking up the 587 narrow steps to the top, or by cableway. Black sandy beaches, cliff side towns and bright white houses make Santorini an island of contrast and undoubtedly a must for travellers. Day 11: Wild beauty of the barren landscape and huge rocks alternate with sandy beaches on Folegandros. The village is very attractive and the monastery worth a visit.

Day 12: Coves and bays interrupt the rocky coastline that surrounds the island of Serifos. The Chora is built on the top of a steep hill and has an amazing view over the bay, well worth a hike.
