Kitesurfing Yacht Cruise

Our departure base is in Athens which makes is ideal for the cruise around Cyclades Islands. Served by a dense transportation network of trams, buses and taxis, with stations near the Marina. Transfer to the marina can be arranged. Depending on your arrival times we could leave the marina the same day around 5pm, go to a nice location that would interest you or spend the night at the marina. Both options have its advantages. Bottom line is that you need to get comfortable; with some food & wine we can talk about your interests and expectations, so we can start building your dream vacation.

The beach of Kolona is a narrow strip of land that connects Kythnos to the islet of Agios Loukas. It has a particular charm, partly due to its fine, golden sand and the sea lapping at both of its sides. It is reputed as one of the most beautiful beaches on Kythnos and has a great romantic vibe. More importantly this is one of the nicest kiteboarding locations in the area. Very close to our kite location there is a small seaside village Merihas which has kept its traditional appearance throughout the years. Village is a must-stop location not just because it has a lively nightlife but it is also a place where you get a chance to enjoy a fresh fish meal in the numerous taverns while sitting at a table almost on the water's edge. As for some sights to see in Merihas, there is the close by site of Vryokatsro, the ancient capital of the island, inhabited until the 7th century A.D., with ruins of walls, temples, altars and Roman buildings. Yes, a perfect location.

Mondays are long they say and seems that we can't escape it where ever we go, even in Greece. To make this cruise more pleasant and to reach our the destination on time for the fun part we start this day's cruising quite early, while you will still be sleeping. Our next kite location lies between Paros and Antiparos and has a kiteboarding reputation that needs no explaining. Usually, we look for more private kite location but this channel is on the must-visit list. Your after session or next day time table will be visiting Paros with a lot of snow-white little houses, small churches and chapels, narrow alleys, peaceful mountain villages and beautiful, clean beaches. Antiparos is another place with a must-see sign all over. What makes Antiparos so special, besides building the wind tunnel with it's neighbour Paros, is its famous Cave of the Stalactites and the Valley of Butterflies. These are all but option for now and each group decides where to go and what to see.

We are heading towards Naxos and the town of Chora where we could spend the night but first we have to decide what kite session we are in for today. Private session awaits us on the northeast side of Paros Island which is on our route to Naxos. Second option is a known location in the Bay of Chora right under the great city of Chora on Naxos Island. If we have non-kitesurfer guests on board this is a win-win compromise since Chora is considered to be one of the most beautiful Cycladic villages. The question is, do we want to skip a notorious kite spot of Mikri Vigla which is just a little bit more southern and enjoy the next day morning swim on the sandy beach near the spot?

Easy morning vibe would be possible if we were to move south east to the Islands of Koufonissia. But the cruise is taking us up north towards Mykonos Island and an early start would be a good way to start another great day. The kite locations that interest us most are found on Korfus and Ftelia beach - both near the main town of Mykonos. The night in Mykonos When the day ends the night in Mykonos begins and you should take that into consideration as the day passes. There is a place for every taste.

Sightseeing in Mykonos before departure is recommended and is a nice introduction to what awaits us. The place to be and today's plan is to heat-it-off at the Rineia Island, next kiteboarding playground. Megali Agali beach, Syros Island After a few days like this we could definitely use a break and the secluded beach of “the big bosom” situated on the desert island of Gaidaros the right destination. It is a beach on the island with the oldest rotating beacon in the Aegean Sea, constructed in 1834.

It's Friday and we need to return to the base or at least come close to the base so we can check out on Saturday morning. Being on the Syros Island we do have some sailing to do but days are long during summer and we still have some kite spots ready for you on the way. There are two kite spots located on the north side of c that are on our route and this is another Island to check-out. If on time we can visit a Vourkari village nearby or move towards our base which is not far anymore. The cruise ends on Saturday 9am.
