italyyachtchartersSailing holidays in the Cyclades
Holidays on a sailboat or catamaran in the Cyclades are an experience not to be missed for those who are passionate about sailing holidays in Greece. You will find yourself sailing in a deep blue sea, from which forty islands apparently barren and rocky emerge, with their internal green areas, golden beaches and stunning cliffs.
Sailing holidays in the Cyclades
Discover the Cyclades
During your sailing holiday in the Cyclades you will encounter picturesque villages perched on hills, small fishing villages overlooking beautiful bays, dazzling white houses decorated with bright colors, adorned with flowers with intense aromas such as jasmine, bougainvillea and geraniums.
An amazing itinerary
You will sail in a sea of light, with the deep blue crystal clear sea as the setting for fascinating monasteries perched on sheer cliffs and still towers, mills, terraces planted with olive trees and vines: the holiday on a sailing boat in Greece is ideal for those who love the sea and the small fishing villages where you can stop to eat fresh fish.
The nightlife
But not just this. The Cyclades are known for the nightlife of Mykonos and Paros, the charming towns of Naxos and Ios, and the natural beauty and the architectural style of Santorini and Tinos, the center of the Orthodox faith with its 750 churches and monasteries.
Discover the islands
The enjoyment of sailing between islands as Fea, Serifs, Sikinos, Kythnos, Milos, Sifnos, Amorgos Andros, or the smaller islands, as Dhonoussa, Skhinoussa, Iraklia and Koufonisia, the discovery of small fishing villages, dream coves, sheltered harbours, must not be missed.
Beware the Meltemi
The prevailing wind in the summer is the Meltemi which blows from the north from June to September. The period to avoid for the less experienced, from the second half of July to the first half of August when the Meltemi blows force 5-6 and can reach force 7-8 blowing vigorously from 1 to 3 days, and sometimes for a whole week.
During this time we do not recommend this itinerary unless you are very experienced and know what you’re doing. In the north of the Cyclades the wind blows from the north – east, in the centre from the North, in the South from the North-West. In the south- west Cyclades the influence of the Meltemi is much less strong.
The winds
In the other months the wind blows with force 3-4 and navigation is much easier. In September, the problem ceases, so the islands are very enjoyable.
In general navigating in the Cyclades is a bit more difficult than other areas of Greece, so it is an itinerary that generally we recommend to groups accustomed to sailing. Below are tips for possible itineraries of a week or two weeks.
