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

Day 1 / 7
Naxos
1
Day 1

Mykonos (Tourlos Marina) → Naxos

Replace the sparkle of Mykonos with the rural beauty of Naxos. Set sail past the holy ruins of Delos and dock in Naxos Town beneath the famous Portara, the marble entrance to Apollo's temple. After a hike up Mount Zas, the legendary birthplace of Zeus, stop at a mountain hamlet taverna for some kitro-glazed pork, made with citrus liquor made from local lemons. Finish off your swim at Agios Prokopios under the moonlight, where the beach looks like a bed of crushed diamonds.

Things to do

Photograph the marble Portara at sunset

Hike Mount Zas (Zeus's birthplace)

Swim Agios Prokopios crystal shallows

Kitro-glazed pork in a mountain taverna

Wander the Venetian Kastro alleyways

Mooring tip

Stern-to in Naxos Marina (lazy lines, fees apply, plenty of slots). Excellent shelter from N Meltemi behind the harbour mole. Anchor in Agios Georgios Bay (5 m sand) for a quieter night south of town.

Paros
2
Day 2

Naxos → Paros (Parikia Harbor)

Sail to Paros's vibrant Parikia, where the church built in the fourth century Panagia Ekatontapiliani whispers Byzantine mysteries. Wander covered by olive and jasmine trees, whitewashed lanes to Lefkes village. Lunch in Naoussa on astakomakaronada, or lobster pasta, then explore the moonlike rock pools designed by Kolymbithres. Sailor tip: Anchor early; the harbor fills up quickly from Paros!

Things to do

Visit Panagia Ekatontapiliani Byzantine church

Astakomakaronada (lobster pasta) at Naoussa

Swim Kolymbithres rock-pool coves

Hike inland to Lefkes mountain village

Wine tasting at a Moraitis marble-quarry vineyard

Mooring tip

Stern-to on Parikia town quay south of the ferry terminal (free, sandy holding 5–8 m). Naoussa small fishing harbour (lazy lines) is the cuter option but fills first — drop crew and circle for a slot.

Vathi
3
Day 3

Paros (Parikia Harbor) → Sifnos (Vathi Port)

Discover Vathi, a fjord-like bay surrounded by olive groves and salt flats, hidden jewel of Sifnos. Kayak to Chrysopigi Monastery, its arches bucking the sea's draw, then feast mastelo (clay-pot lamb with red wine) at a family taverna. Not missed: a ceramic workshop; Sifnos' artists have worked with clay for millennia.

Things to do

Kayak to Chrysopigi Monastery on its sea-split rock

Mastelo clay-pot lamb at a family taverna

Pottery-studio visit in Vathy or Kamares

Save room for revithokeftedes (chickpea balls)

Swim Vathy Bay turquoise shallows off the boat

Mooring tip

Anchor in Vathy Bay (5–7 m sand, excellent holding) or stern-to on the small Vathy quay. Calmest spot in the western Cyclades regardless of Meltemi strength — the natural choice if forecast turns bad.

Serifos
4
Day 4

Sifnos (Vathi Port) → Serifos (Livadi Port)

Trade the raw beauty of Serifos for Sifos' polish. Hike the zigzag walk to Chora, a whitewashed swarm clinging to a volcano, from Livadi's golden crescent bay, then eat on revithada (lemony chickpea stew) with cliffside views. Swim in water so pure you will count pebbles ten meters down.

Things to do

Hike the donkey path up to Chora village

Lunch on revithada chickpea stew

Swim Psili Ammos Beach turquoise crescent

Visit the abandoned mines at Mega Livadi

Sundowner with 360° Aegean views from Chora

Mooring tip

Stern-to on Livadi town quay (lazy lines, free). Excellent shelter from N Meltemi behind the headland. Anchor space in the bay (8 m sand) if quay is full.

Syros
5
Day 5

Serifos (Livadi Port) → Syros (Ermoupoli)

Sail to Syros' Ermoupoli, where Greek roughness blends with Venetian elegance. Wander marble-paved lanes to Miaouli Square, humming with neoclassical stores. For panoramic vistas, climb Ano Syros at nightfall; nibble rosewater loukoumi from a 150-year-old store. Nightcap: a view of mastiha taken from a gritty rembetiko bar.

Things to do

Walk marble lanes to Miaouli Square

Climb Ano Syros for sunset cathedral views

Try loukoumi at Sykoutris confectionery

Sip soumada (almond milk) at a kafeneio

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). Excellent shelter in any wind direction; the safest hideout when Meltemi blows above 30 kn.

Mykonos
6
Day 6

Syros → Mykonos (Tourlos Marina by 17:00)

Sail around Rhenia Island for a last snorkel in pristine coves back to Mykonos. Dock by 17:00 then squeeze in a seafood feast in Little Venice or a sunset beverage at Scorpios. Because Mykonos never sleeps, dance under the windmills until morning.

Things to do

Last snorkel at Rhenia Island coves

Sundowner at Little Venice waterfront

Dinner of seafood at a Chora taverna

Drinks at Scorpios sunset bar (Paraga)

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, or 24h ahead in August. Old port is exposed in N Meltemi and not viable for overnight stays.

Mykanos
7
Day 7

Mykonos → Mykonos

Final morning at Tourlos Marina — the technical hand-back is straightforward when fuel and clean-time were sorted at the Friday 18:00 briefing. Boat back by 09:00 Saturday for the marineros' inspection, papers signed at reception. Tourlos sits 2 km north of Mykonos Old Port; the new marina handles overnight charter berthing the way the old port (still working but exposed in N Meltemi) cannot. The marina kafeneio does Greek coffee and bougatsa custard pie breakfast on the quay with the mooring view; pick up Cycladic souvenirs and Mykoniot kopanisti soft cheese in Chora before the transfer if the connection allows. Direct buses and taxis run to Mykonos JMK airport in 15 minutes from the marina gate; the Old Port is a 10-minute taxi if the connection is by ferry to another island. Disembark with sandy sandals, a heart full of windmill sundowns, and the long memory of a Meltemi day on the beam — the Aegean has not seen the last of you.

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.
