The full story

Day-by-day journey

Named anchorages, restaurants, and route notes for every leg of the week — written by sailors who've actually run this passage.

Day 1 / 7
Tinos
1
Day 1

Mykonos (Tourlos Marina) → Tinos

Leave Mykonos' glitter behind and cruise north to Tinos, where spirituality meets creativity. From Tinos Town, pilgrims crawl to the Church of Panagia Evangelistria, its courtyard filled with lighting and muttered prayers. Wander Pyrgos village, with marble workshops lining its alleyways, and have artichokes à la polita in a shady taverna. At Kolymbithra Beach, where waves turn the sand gold, end the day. Sailor advice: Anchor early; the Meltemi winds kick up by afternoon!

Things to do

Visit Panagia Evangelistria pilgrim church

Explore Pyrgos marble-carving village

Lunch on artichokes à la polita

Surf at Kolymbithra Beach

Wine tasting at a Falatados vineyard

Mooring tip

Stern-to on Tinos town quay (lazy lines, marina office assigns slot via VHF 09). Excellent shelter from N. Avoid the ferry quay — wash is brutal in season.

Andros
2
Day 2

Tinos → Andros (Batsi Port)

Sail west toward the rich outlier of the Cyclades, Andros. Dock at a crescent-shaped port surrounded by tamarisk trees in Batsi. Dive into the freshwater springs of Achla Beach or hike to the Foros Cave, with its stalactites dripping with myth. Feast on froutalia, a herb-packed omelette, at a seaside kafeneio around sunset when the air smells strongly of jasmine and salt.

Things to do

Swim Achla Beach freshwater spring

Hike to Foros Cave stalactites

Walk Chora marble main street

Visit Goulandris contemporary art museum

Froutalia omelette and raki at a kafeneio

Mooring tip

Stern-to on Batsi town quay (small fee, lazy lines). Sheltered behind the small breakwater. Gavrio is the larger ferry port nearby — moor away from the ferry berth, wash is heavy.

Kea
3
Day 3

Andros → Kea (Korissia/Vourkari)

Allow the winds to lead you to the tough escape known as Kea. Anchor in Vourkari's yacht-studded bay or Korissia's slumbering harbor. Then swim the WWII wreck Brittanyafter hiking to the stone guardian from sixth-century BC, the Lion of Kea. Dinner is here. Along with honeyed raki, grilled astakos—lobster—from a beachfront taverna.

Things to do

Hike to the 6th-century BC Stone Lion of Kea

Dive the Brittany WWII wreck at sunset

Octopus carpaccio at a Vourkari ouzeri

Walk Ioulida marble alleys at dusk

Lobster and rakomelo at a beachfront taverna

Mooring tip

Stern-to in Vourkari (lazy lines, small fee) — best shelter from N Meltemi. Korissia town quay is the free alternative but exposed when forecast shows N winds above 18 kn.

Kythnos
4
Day 4

Kea → Kythnos

Fly south to Kythnos, where simplicity rules. Drop anchor in Merihas or Loutra, where since antiquity thermal springs have calmed mariners. Swim at Kolona Beach, a sliver of sand straggling twin bays, then eat sfougato (cheese pie) at a dockside bara. Local secret: Your breath will be stolen by the sunset from Loutra's chapel.

Things to do

Lunch swim at Kolona Beach sandbar

Soak in the Loutra thermal spring pools

Walk to the Loutra chapel for sunset

Dinner of sfougato cheese pie at the quay

Wander Chora whitewashed lanes

Mooring tip

Stern-to on Merihas town quay (free, lazy lines on inner side) or Loutra small marina (lazy lines, small fee — book early in August). Apokrousi Bay 1 nm north is the calmest anchorage if W swell builds.

Syros
5
Day 5

Kythnos → Syros (Foinikas/Ermoupoli)

With Ermoupoli's neoclassical grandeur—marble streets, pastel houses, and the bustling of Miaouli Square—Syros shines. Want harmony? Anchor in sheltered bay of Foinikas. At sunset, climb Ano Syros among bouzouki music emanating from blue-door tavernas, and toast with soumada (almond milk), as the harbour lights come alive.

Things to do

Walk marble lanes to Miaouli Square

Climb Ano Syros for sunset cathedral views

Sip soumada (almond milk) at a kafeneio

Try loukoumi at Sykoutris confectionery

Catch a rembetiko set in a back-alley pub

Mooring tip

Stern-to on Ermoupoli town quay (free, plenty of space — easiest mooring in the Cyclades). Foinikas Bay anchorage (8 m sand) is the quiet option if you prefer a quieter dinner aboard.

Mykonos
6
Day 6

Syros → Mykonos (Tourlos Marina by 17:00)

Go back to Mykonos, passing via the hallowed sites of Delos. By 17:00, then squeeze in a last swim at Agios Ioannis where the sea reflects the pink blush of the sky. Over night in Tourlos Marina, eat lobster pasta in Little Venice and then dance under the windmills till the stars disappear.

Things to do

Pass the ancient Sanctuary of Delos

Last swim at Agios Ioannis Beach

Sundowner at Little Venice waterfront

Dinner of lobster pasta in Little Venice

Late dance under the Kato Mili windmills

Mooring tip

Tourlos New Marina, lazy lines on assigned berth — book by VHF 09 from 30 nm out. Old port is exposed in N Meltemi and not viable for overnight stays.

Mykonos
7
Day 7

Mykonos → Mykonos

With a final espresso in hand, I savor the salty, adventurous flavor of Mykonos as I say goodbye to this portside café. Set sail for the Aegean with a pair of sand-colored sandals, a film reel filled with Cycladic blues, and the solemn vow: 'This isn’t goodbye.'

Things to do

Greek coffee at a marina kafeneio

Final crew photo on the bow

Pick up Cycladic souvenirs at Chora

Transfer to Mykonos JMK airport (~15 min)

Toast the trip before disembarking

Mooring tip

Tourlos Marina hand-back complete by 09:00. Direct buses and taxis run to Mykonos airport (15 min) and Mykonos Old Port (10 min) for ferries onward.
