Athens

Athens is the perfect gateway for a Cyclades charter, blending ancient wonders with vibrant city life. As the historic capital of Greece, it offers charter guests an unforgettable start to their island hopping journey. The city's bustling marinas provide easy access to the open waters of the Aegean, while remaining just steps away from lively waterfront tavernas and shops. Guests can enjoy the comforts of a modern city before setting sail toward quieter island escapes. No visit to Athens is complete without seeing the iconic Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that towers over the city and reflects thousands of years of history. The Parthenon, perched at its summit, remains one of the most recognized symbols of ancient Greece. Beyond the Acropolis, the Plaka neighborhood invites exploration with its winding cobblestone streets, traditional tavernas, and charming local shops. It is an ideal spot to soak in the atmosphere before departing on the charter. From here, the journey continues into the sparkling Aegean, setting course for the first island of the Cyclades.
Kythnos

Named after a mythical king, Kythnos feels like something out of a fairy tale, with rolling golden hills, charming stone huts, and an atmosphere of absolute serenity. It offers charter guests one of the most peaceful escapes in the Cyclades. The port of Merichas welcomes visitors with a relaxing buzz and bright waterside cafes, making it an easy and inviting place to begin exploring the island. From there, guests can visit nearby villages and caves scattered across the landscape. The village of Hora is known for its colorful, close knit streets lined with painted walls, local frescoes, and traditional windmills. Wandering through its lanes offers a genuine taste of Cycladic island life. On the northern side of the island, charter guests can seek out the steaming hot springs of Loutra, a unique natural feature not found on many other islands in the region. With more than a hundred beaches to choose from, Kythnos offers no shortage of options for sun and sand, making it easy for every guest to find their own favorite spot.
