BeFree Flotilla Greece Cyclades: Athens to Mykonos

Check-in at the BeBlue meeting point from 14:00 at the Kalamaki Marina in Alimos, Athens, and embarkation from 17:00 on Saturday. Once completed the quick embarkation procedures and the galley, we set sail for Vouliagmenis, a beautiful bay between the two peninsulas of Megalo and Mikro Kavouri (Big and Small Crab), home to unspoilt coves, where we can take a refreshing dip! Packet mooring in the roadstead and ready to enjoy our first evening on board!

This morning we set sail for Cape Sounion, on the southern tip of Attica peninsula. We will anchor in front of this real open-air museum, where you can go ashore and visit the fascinating Temple of Poseidon. After lunch, we will sail back to the island of Kithnos. We will reach the beautiful beach of Kolona, a long tongue of golden sand outlining two blue coves, before sunset, and then moor opposite the beach of Fikiada. 

A good breakfast overlooking the sea, before moving on to one of the bays in the south of the island, where we will spend the morning diving, bathing and snorkelling in the wonderful crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea! Later we will move along the east coast of Kithnos and drop anchor in a quiet cove where we will spend the evening.

Today we head to Serifos! We will sail along the east coast of the island until we reach Livadi, a wonderful harbour village with typical small restaurants and bars where we can spend the evening and dine with friends. Here we will go ashore to visit Chora, a perched village with unmistakable architecture, small churches and white windmills, from where we can admire a breathtaking view of Livadi harbour: impossible not to be amazed!

Once we cast off our moorings, after a good breakfast and a dip in the sea, we sail to Sifnos, an island far from the big tourist crowds and that was able to retain its authenticity and purity. We will first stop in Kamares Bay, with its golden sandy beach and small restaurants facing the sea, before moving on in the afternoon to Vathy, where we will spend the night. In this small, typically Greek village, with a deep blue sea contrasting with the white buildings, we will go ashore for a "total white" dress code dinner and cocktails all together!

A short sail to the south coast of Despotiko, a barren and uninhabited island where the archaeological remains of a sanctuary dedicated to Apollo have been found. The water here is emerald, perfect for diving to discover its depths. After a morning of relaxation, we will have lunch on board and move to a bay in Antiparos, where we will stop for the night, or, if the Etesian winds permit, we will sail to the south of the island of Paros. We will go ashore to spend the evening in one of the beach clubs.

Today we cast off our moorings early in the morning and head to Rineia, a wild and uninhabited island with sheltered and uncrowded bays in which to moor and fully enjoy the wonderful turquoise waters. Alternatively, we can reach the nearby island of Delos, famous for its ruins, a symbol of the Hellenistic culture par excellence, an enchanted place that is not to be forgotten. In the afternoon we will sail to Mykonos, where we will spend our last evening ashore: we will dine ashore all together and to end the week on a high note, we will go wild in one of the island's famous discos!

Disembarkation is expected by 9 a.m. in Mykonos.

Check-in at the BeBlue meeting point from 14:00 at the port of Mykonos and embarkation available from 17:00 on Saturday. After the quick embarkation procedures and galley, if the sea weather conditions permit, we will reach the bay of Kasari on the nearby island of Rineia, which with its turquoise waters lends itself very well to the first dive of the week! Packet mooring in the roadstead and ready to enjoy our first evening on board!

This morning we cast off our moorings and, with the Meltemi - the famous Greek wind - blowing from the north, we sail to one of the pearls of the Cyclades: Paros. We will anchor just opposite the beautiful beach of Lageri, in a sheltered bay with a wonderful deep blue sea. We will then move on to the east coast of the island, to Marmara Bay, where we will arrive just in time for a sunset aperitif.

A good breakfast overlooking the sea, before moving on to the neighbouring island of Naxos. We sail to one of its most beautiful beaches along the west coast, where we spend the day diving, swimming and relaxing, before reaching the bay of Katomeri, on the southern tip of the island, where we drop anchor to spend the evening.

Today we set sail in the direction of Kato Koufonisi! We will drop anchor in the bay of Genoupas, in front of a beautiful deserted beach of sand and pebbles. Its emerald waters are perfect for a morning of diving and laughter with friends! We will then sail back to the port of Koufonisi, where we will go ashore for our inevitable 'total white' outfit dinner!

After breakfast in one of the island's bars, we cast off for a short sail along the south coast of Koufonisi. We will choose whether to stop at the roadstead in front of the beach of Finikas, a paradise of crystal-clear water, or in the nearby bay of Fanos - one more beautiful than the other! After lunch we will depart for south Keros, where we will moor as a package and spend the evening on board. Alternatively, if weather conditions permit, we can go as far as the island of Argos.

This morning we will start sailing upwind to the north, but first we will stop at one of the beautiful beaches on the south coast of Schinoussa, a wonderful island that still preserves Greek tradition. After lunch we will reach a sheltered bay between Despotiko and Antiparos, where the water is deep blue, perfect for diving to discover its depths. Meltemi permitting, we will sail to the south of the island of Paros and go ashore to spend the evening in one of the beach clubs.
