Join our ever-popular 7-night sail around the unique Cyclades

Cyclades: Dazzling white villages, golden beaches and crystal clear azure waters are just the beginning of what these islands have to offer. Ancient Greek geographers named this unique group of islands the Cyclades. This is because they saw it forming a kind of circle (“kyklos” in Greek) around the sacred island of Delos. According to myth, the islands were said to be the remains of a giants’ fight. They actually came about as a result of enormous geological event like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Similar to the Greek flag, their colors are blue and white. The islands come in various sizes, and each one has its own unique personality despite the fact that the essential elements are the same: unmatched light, crystal ocean, wonderful beaches, gleaming white houses, and bare rock.
