The starting point of this sailing holiday is the port of Kalantos, on Naxos. We organize pick up from the main port for all the guests and it is about 12-15€ / person depending on the size of the group.
We have 16 years of experience in organising sailing holidays in Greece and Caribbean, having thousands of happy customers on board our boats from all over the world. Last year we were appreciated by the Guardian in 10 best sailing holidays in Europe.
Greece is our second home and we have prepared well-proven routes and attractions arranged with locals and a variety of their services. The sailing daily distances depend on our guests mood - we are flexible in adjusting to their needs. Each night we are showing our guests well selected and our favorite Tavernas with absolutely amazing local food and wine.
Round cruises from Naxos are definitely our favourites! Starting and ending in Naxos - in the heart of Cyclades, enables us to explore amazing Cyclades from the first moment of the sailing holiday! Small Cyclades are the pearl of this area. We visit stunning Cycladic islands offering beautiful desert bays with crystal clear water perfect for swimming/snorkelling (colorful fish, caves and even the IIWW plane wreck), characteristic local villages, yet less known and far less touristy. On the way Iraklia (which has an amazing local charm and easy vibe), Kufonissi (with its Caribbean-like blue water), Schinoussa (truly local and greek small village) and beautiful Amorgos - with a breathtaking monastery carved in the rock (where the monks are waiting for you to climb the stairs with delicious psimeni raki and loukoumi), beautiful beach and swimming spot famous from the Le grand Bleu film and typical Cycladic Chora, a town in the mountains. If guests are up for more sailing miles, we may visit Ios and Folegandros offering one of the most scenic old towns (Choras) in Cyclades. On the way back Paros with its quieter sister Antiparos where our guests have a chance to visit and feel the real Greece with its local atmosphere.
During all our trips each day we stop for swimming in beautiful bays - some of them completely wild, others with one small taverna, serving fresh fish and seafood (often taken out of the water before our eyes). For our guests we offer a possibility of jogging/yoga in the morning, exploring bays on paddle boards or kayaks and organic food on board.
You can expect delicious, healthy, fresh and truly local meals (often said by the guests to be the best Taverna from the whole trip). we buy fresh products from local markets, our friend's gardens and all the rest is homemade (boat made to be precise) :) Our feta is made by Giota'a mum, olive oil comes from Panagiotis tree's and lemons and figs we pick up by ourselves.
We are both well-skilled sailors so taking part in sailing maneuvers is optional for those who would like to learn and spend their holidays in an active way. We teach sailing basics, safety on board, knots, steering, mooring ect. No sailing experience is needed. Those who just wish to sunbathe and relax on deck are free to do so.
Also we help with all the logistics - we can organize transport from the airport directly to the boat.
