The Cyclades, within reach
From the channel of Antiparos to the small Cyclades. You choose the day, we help you choose the route.
Places we know, one by one
Every one of these is reachable from Alyki. How far you go depends on the boat, the weather and how early you want to start. There is no fixed schedule and no fixed route. We talk it through with you the day before, and again in the morning if the wind has other ideas.
Antiparos
Our closest neighbour, straight across the channel. Whitewashed lanes, easy tavernas and a coastline of small sandy coves that stay far quieter than the main beaches.
Despotiko
An uninhabited islet with an ancient sanctuary still being uncovered. You anchor in turquoise shallows, swim ashore and have most of it to yourself.
Panteronissia
A cluster of low rocks with a lagoon between them. The water turns an unreal shade of blue around midday. Most people see it in photographs before they believe it.
Diplo
A bare islet off Antiparos where the seabed is visible from the deck. Good for a long, slow swim stop with nothing around you but water and rock.
Alyki and south Paros
The coast we know best. Faragas, Tripiti and a string of small bays a short ride from the port, ideal for a relaxed half day on the water.
Paroikia and Agios Nikolaos
The western side of the island, seen the way it was meant to be seen. Quiet chapels above the water and anchorages that catch the late afternoon light.
South Naxos
Long open beaches and sheltered water on the right day. A comfortable run east when the wind allows, with plenty of room to stretch the day out.
Koufonissia
Sea caves, natural pools and sand that looks imported. It is a proper day out and worth every mile when the sea is kind.
Iraklia and Schoinousa
The quiet side of the Cyclades. Empty anchorages, a handful of tavernas and the feeling that you have gone somewhere most visitors never reach.
We read the weather, you enjoy the day
The Aegean decides a lot for us. Some days the far islands are perfect, other days the sheltered south coast is the better call. Tell us what you are after, a quiet swim, a long ride, a sunset, and we will point you to the right corner of the map.
