Detailed Itinerary by days
Day 1Lavrion - Kea (Korissia Harbor)
Say goodbye to the shipyard buzz of Lavrion and fly into Kea's hug. Anchor in V ourkari Bay, a calm harbor with fishermen boats swinging next to elegant yachts. Dive the spooky WWII wreck Brittany at twilight, then eat octopus carpaccio at a seaside taverna; the air smells strongly of oregano and salt.
Day 2Kea - Andros
Let the Meltemi winds bring you to Andros, a rough island with stone bridges and waterfalls. Trekkers the historic paths to Pithara Falls, then meander Chora's marble-paved streets wheremodern art galleries collide with medieval towers. Lunch? Dinner At a local kafeneio, froutalia—herb-flecked omelette—was cleaned down with raki.
Day 3Andros - Tinos
Sail to Tinos where workmanship meets spirituality. Pilgrims crawl to the Panagia Evangelistria, but Pyrgos village has marble marvels to hunt. Lunch on artichokes à la polita in a courtyard surrounded by bougainvillea, then lose yourself in the labyrinth of V olax, its terrain strewn with enormous granite rocks.
Day 4Tinos - Donousa
Go to the little gem in the Small Cyclades, Donousa. Drop anchor on the crescent of beach lapped by blue waves at Kedros Beach. Trek to the hidden only known Stone Village of Kalotaritissa or dive in the Cave of the Wall. Dine naked at a beach shack on grilled gouna, sun-dried mackerel.
Day 5Donousa - Amorgos
Rising sharply, Amorgos has Monastery of Hozoviotissa topped over its rocks. Climbing the three hundred steps to this whitewashed wonder, hang to the rocks like a seabird. Under a sky ablaze with stars, dive the crystal waters close to the Olympia shipwreck then celebrate the day with a psimeni raki (honey-spiced spirit).
Day 6Amorgos - Koufonissi
Sail to Koufonissi, where time moves at the trot of a donkey. Boat to the uninhabited coves of Kato Koufonissi or swim at Pori Beach, a sugar-white stretch surrounded by dunes. At a harborside taverna, feast on astakomakaronada (lobster pasta), the catch pulled early that morning.
Day 7Koufonissi - Schoinousa
Anchor in Schoinousa's slumbering harbor, where people are few compared to goats. Claim Tsigouri Beach as your own; the waters there have a blues gradient; alternatively, climb to the mountaintop Church of Panagia for 360° Aegean vistas. Dinner is Simple perfection: under a tamarisk tree tomato keftedes with a carafe of house wine.
Day 8Schoinousa - Irakleia
Find Irakleia, the best-kept secret among the Small Cyclades. Trekking through olive trees to the ancient ruins of Kastro, snorkel the glittering depths of Blue Cave. If you're lucky, join neighbors for a panigiri (festival) at night and dance to fiddle tunes under strings of lights.
Day 9Irakleia - Folegandros
Sail west to Folegandros, where Chora's town on the cliff defies gravity. Wander car-free alleys to secret chapels, then negotiate the cliff route to Panagia church—the reward? Views all the way to Sicily. Eat on matsata, hand-cut pasta, with wild goat ragù; the sea breeze is the only background music.
Day 10Folegandros - Milos (Port Adamantas)
Milos bursts in colour: Klima's rainbow syrmata, peach-pink dunes, sulphur-yellow cliffs. Then snorkel in Papafragas' sea caverns, kayak Sarakiniko's moonlike coves. Sunset here? Claim a cliffside seat at Plaka, where the heavens seem to be lavender and gold.
Day 11Milos - Sifnos (Vathi or Kamares)
Sif Nos calls with gastronomic enchantment. Dock in Vathi, a fjord-like harbor bordered by salt flats, sometimes known as Kamares' golden arc of sand. Trek to the Chrysopigi Monastery; afterward, in Artemonas village, eat mastelo (clay-pot lamb). You should not miss: A pottery workshop; Greek tables for millennia have been fashioned from Sifnos' clay.
Day 12Sifnos - Kythnos (Merichas Harbor)
Go back to Kythnos, anchored in the laid-back harbor of Merichas. Swim at Kolona Beach, a sliver of sand separating twin bays, or soak in Loutra's thermal springs—a cure recommended by Byzantine emperor. At a dockside taverna, feast on sfougato (cheese pie), the stars so close you could pick them.
Day 13Kythnos - Lavrion
Sail north, dolphins chasing your bow, and Lavrion's shadow shows up. Stop at Cape Sounion for a last plunge under Poseidon's temple; the dying light has bronzed her columns. Now planning your next escapade, celebrate your voyage with ouzo and salted stories back in port.
Day 14Lavrion - Check-out
Get off with sandy sandals, a heart full of secret coves, and a will to go back. One last Greek coffee in Lavrion, the islands murmurs, 'You'll be back.' And you will too.
