Kea is an exceptionally picturesque island. On the south side of Nikolaos Bay – which was a pirate stronghold in the 13th c. – lies the little port of Korissia, built on the side of ancient Korissia. One of our highlights is the beautiful anchorage of Poleis. Vourkari is a small bay with many traditional taverns, small shops and bars and is certainly worth a visit.

Day 2 – KEA – SYROS

The beautiful harbour at Syros is a landmark in Greek history. The beauty of this island is mostly due to its superb capital, which has many Venetian and Neo–Classical buildings, and to its many small villages which are examples of Cycladic settlements.

Day 3 – SYROS – MYKONOS

The most popular island of Cyclades Group, famous from the international jet set visitors. Mykonos is the St Tropez of the Greek Islands. A very active night-life in combination with beautiful beaches and excellent restaurants makes this place a must see in your list.

Considered as one of the most beautiful islands of the Cyclades. Three bays cut deep inland – in the west, the sheltered Paroikia Bay, with the island’s capital that serves as the main sailing port. In the north the bay which shelters the little town of Naoussa, which in Roman times was the island’s main port for the shipment of Lychnites marble; and in the east the flat Marmara bay. Paros is on the way of becoming the next Mykonos, especially among Greeks, it has fantastic night life and plenty of choices for dining.

Naxos is one of the biggest islands of Cyclades. The old town market, the Venetian castle, the church of Panagia Mirtidiotissa are only but a few of the many things that Naxos has to offer to the visitors.  It is an island with impressive mountainous landscapes with many isolated traditional villages and some of Europe’s most beautiful golden sandy beaches.

Famous for its vivid nightlife with an uncountable number of bars, cafés, clubs and restaurants and for its beaches with crystal clear waters. The little port of Ios, with the domed Church of Ayia Irini (17th c.) lies in a sheltered bay on the west coast of the island.
