If we’re describing what a true perfect circle looks like, there’s no need to look much further than the Cyclades, or “Circular Islands.” Go where the weather (and your skipper) takes you aboard our all-new, state-of-the-art 57 ft yacht, whether that’s exploring ruins, stopping by a microbrewery for a taste, or relaxing on golden sands. See the famous windmills of Mykonos and sail through Santorini's caldera, all while enjoying the view from aboard our yacht along the way.

Is there an extra cost for travelling solo?
We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Where will we stay during the trip?
5 twin/double bed cabins with en suite or shared facilities

Santorini
While on Ios, relax on famous Magganari Beach and don't forget to visit Homers tomb, or head out on an optional all-day adventure with your fellow yacht-mates. While a visit to Santorini's main island is not a core part of the sailing itinerary, there may be an opportunity to take a short ferry across from nearby Ios for those especially interested. The skipper will lead a group discussion to assess interest and feasibility.
Ios/Small Cyclades/Naxos
Spend the next few days enjoying more of the Cyclades. Depending on where the wind will take us, stops might include Ios, the Small Cyclades, and Naxos. The islands of the Cyclades offer a range of different experiences on each island.
Settle in for a deeper dive into the magical culture of the Cyclades, with a highlight being a two-night stay on the vibrant island of Naxos. Rich in culture, history, and local flavour, Naxos offers something for every traveller, from the sweeping views of Mt Zeus and golden beaches, to the charming artisan shops and some of the best cuisine in the Aegean.
Join the highlight and an unforgettable full-day tour led by a G Adventures approved local guide and ecologist, including a visit to the Temple of Dimitra, a local Microbrewery, Olive Oil press and secret island discoveries. This immersive experience, including transport, is around 70-80EUR, well worth it for the insights and access you'll gain.
With time to also explore Syros or nearby hidden gems of the Small Cyclades, this stretch of the journey balances relaxed island living with rich, meaningful exploration. Find countless treasures and must-grab deals while strolling through the markets of Syros, and it's lovely, lively towns. Do the 3 church challenge!
