Day 2: Kythnos Island, 15 mi. (25 km)
Kythnos Island has been famous for its cheese and honey since ancient times. The first cycling tour, which will start in the harbor of Merichas will first lead to the capital Chora and offers beautiful views of the coastline. Chora is an appealing village, situated on a high plateau. Its angular alleys are decorated with painted flowers and geometric patterns. Then the cycle route leads to Driopida, a picturesque village. In the afternoon the motor yacht will take us to Siphnos for a relaxing time at the beach. Afterwards, you return to Merichas and can spend the evening hours in one of the quaint taverns.
Day 3: Seriphos Island (aprx. 18.75 mi./30 km)
Seriphos is a small island far from the tourist track, with deep valleys, countless bays and coves and lots of beautiful sandy beaches. From the harbor town of Livadi, you will cycle Greece along a serpentine road to the main town of Seriphos, whose cube form houses nestle along a mountain ridge high above the sea. Continuing on through untouched landscape to the Byzantine monastery of the Archangel Michael, you will return to Livadi along a panoramic road on the East coast. In the afternoon, the ship will arrive at Siphnos, which has a lovely beach. Overnight stay in Kamares.
Day 4: Siphnos Island, 12 mi. (20 km)
The island of Siphnos, which is famous for its ceramic artwork, is only inhabited in land as its coast drops steeply into the sea. The cycling tour begins in the harbour of Kamares. The route leads through a green, hilly terraced landscape to the central highlands with the island’s capital Kastro, which is a defensive settlement built on a steep cliff face and has been a listed as a protected town since 1975. In the afternoon, board the ship and sail to Syros, where you can round off the day in one of the numerous cafes on the spacious harbor promenade. Overnight stay in Kea.
Day 5: Kea Island, 15 mi. (25 km)
Today's starting point for exploring the norwestern-most inhabited Cyclade island is the beautiful natural harbor of Korissia. From here, cycle uphill to the capital of the island, Loulis, before continuing on to the white sand beach, Otzias where you can take a refreshing swim. Afterwards, return by bike to Korissia. In the afternoon stay aboard as the boat crosses to Poros in the Saronic Gulf. The harbor city of Poros is truly spectacular. Its iconic clock tower juts out above the rest of the town, and provides a true Greek island atmosphere.
Day 6: Poros Island, 14 mi. (23 km)
Today begins with a bike tour from Poros City to the Zoodochos Pigis monastery which dates back to the 18th century. Afterwards, ride almost once around the island which once Poseidon himself possessed. On today's route, you'll cycle to Russian Bay, a sandy beach with turquoise blue water which will invite you for a refreshing swim. Back in Poros City, the boat waits with a delicious midday meal during the cruise to Ägina.
Day 7: Island Ägina, 22 mi. (35 km)
The Island of Ägina is known far beyond the Greek borders for its incredible pistachio nuts! Today’s bike tour takes you up to the Sanctuary of Aphaia. The incredibly well preserved temple towers high above the blue of the sea in the single point of Ägina where the Aegean Sea can be seen on both sides. On the way back, cycle across the middle of the island past the monastery of Nektarios all the way to Ägina City where you board the boat for our last cruise back to Piräus. Enjoy a last evening meal on board together in the company of friends, guides, and crew and reflect on the wonderful experiences of the week.
Day 8: Piraeus/Athens (Disembarkation)
Disembark after breakfast on board followed by individual departure or an extended stay in Athens.
*Please note: the Cyclades are relatively susceptible to wind. Normally this results in only a minor modification of the route. The alternative route leads into the Argosaronic Gulf, one of the most historic regions of Greece. You will cross between the Greek mainland and the Peloponnesian to discover the islands of Egina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses and the Methana peninsula. A highlight of this journey is a visit to the ancient Epidauros with the best preserved Greek theater.

As we biked on the Cyclade islands of Greece, it was the amazing views across the Aegean and the myths and stories told to us by our guides that was the most memorable. The Greek food on the boat was also fantastic!

The boat was very tired. In our room the sink tap was not connected the pipe letting water into the toilet tank fell off the wall. The porthole wouldn’t open. Very few of the lights in our room worked. There was no comfortable seats on the boat, and we did not go where the tour was supposed to go because of the boat not being able to handle the weather. The crew was great.
