Activities at Sea

From island to island, anchorage to anchorage...

Destinations

Our itinerary is never set in stone: it adapts to the weather, the crew's energy, and their favorite spots. With more than 25 islands within sailing distance, the possibilities are endless. Sailing also means being open to surprises: an archaeological site to explore, an encounter with dolphins or a turtle, a secret bay to discover... Each day is shaped by what the sea and the Cyclades have to offer. It is often the wind and our whims that determine our course.

The practice of sailing

No obligations, just possibilities: take part in the maneuvers or simply enjoy the trip, lulled by the wind and waves. The skipper adapts his role to your desires— instructor for novices, captain for passengers who prefer to be carried along, or simply a teammate for experienced sailors.

With three headsails and a square-topped mainsail, the Venus is demanding, especially since everything is manual. It is a technical and responsive sailboat, designed for those who love to feel the boat come alive. Every trip between islands can become a learning experience or a sporting challenge.

But no pressure: the skipper can handle everything on his own if you prefer to relax, watch the dolphins, or simply enjoy the scenery. Venus adapts to your pace— whether you're there to learn, participate, or just go with the flow.

Open water swimming

In the Cyclades, swimming is not just a sport: it is asensory experience. The deep blue, crystal-clear water invites you to float, to trace lines between the rocks, to feel the current carry you like a gentle wave. Whether it's for aninvigorating morning swim, acrossing between two coves, or simply for the pleasure of feeling the Aegean Sea envelop you, open-water swimming takes on an almost meditative dimension here.

Where can you swim like a god (or goddess)?✔Kolymbithres beach in Paros(shallow waters, sculpted rocks) ✔The coves of Polyaigos(turquoise waters, almost deserted) ✔Livadi Bay in Serifos(fine sand, calm waters, ideal for swimming laps) ✔The sea caves of Kimolos(swim between the walls, underwater light show)

Tips for an unforgettable swim:

Choose the golden hour(early morning or late afternoon) to avoid the crowds and enjoy magical light.
Minimum equipment: mask and snorkel for observing the seabed, water shoes for rocky creeks.
Respect the currents: some bays (such as Kleftiko in Milos) have strong currents – check before diving!

Paddleboarding & Snorkeling

You don't need to be an experienced freediver to enjoy the Cyclades' seabed!Paddleboarding and snorkelingare the perfect ways to explore the turquoise coves, underwater caves, and reefs.

Ideal spots for paddleboarding: ✔The coves of Antiparos(paddle to Despotiko Cave) ✔Kleftiko Bay in Milos(paddle between cliffs sculpted by erosion)

Best snorkeling spots:✔The seabed of Koufonissia(shallow waters, tropical fish) ✔The blue cave of Milos(breathtaking underwater light effects) ✔The reefs of Donoussa(corals, moray eels, and sometimes even turtles!)

Apnea

Here, the sea is not just a backdrop: it is a playground for adventure. With water temperatures of 25-28°C and visibility of over 25 meters, the Cyclades are a paradise for free divers... and thrill seekers.

Legendary spots:✔The vertical drop-offs of Folegandros(constant weight at 50m+) ✔The shipwrecks of Milos(free immersion in thermoclines, 25-35m) ✔The underwater caves of Santorini(exploration with monofins)

Land Activities

Visits to the islands, their civilization, and their wilderness

Wild nature

White marble cliffs, secret coves where time stands still, arid hills scented with thyme and capers... The Cyclades reveal a raw natural landscape, sculpted by wind and salt. Here, there are no frills: just the essentials—rock, sea, and sky.

Don't miss:✔The lunar landscapes of Milos(extinct volcanoes, sulfur beaches) ✔The Amorgos Gorge, where the blue of the sea contrasts with the ochre of the cliffs ✔The nature reserves of Serifos, between Mediterranean scrubland and deserted coves

Hiking

The Cyclades are not just about the sea: they also offer trails that wind between whitewashed villages, isolated chapels, and breathtaking viewpoints. Perfect for stretching your legs before sunset.

Must-see routes:✔The ancient trail of Amorgos(10 km, 360° view of the Aegean Sea) ✔The cliffs of Santorini(hike from Fira to Oia, between vineyards and caldera) ✔The mountains of Naxos(climb Mount Zas, the highest peak in the Cyclades)

Archeology

The Cyclades are not just a picture-postcard setting: they tell the storyof 7,000 years of history. From the first Neolithic civilizations to Venetian ruins and Greek temples, each island is an open book.

Places to explore:✔Delos(the sacred island of Apollo, cradle of mythology) ✔Akrotiri in Santorini(the "Greek Pompeii," a Minoan city frozen in lava) ✔The sanctuary of Apollo in Despotiko ✔The Venetian fortress of Naxos(a blend of Byzantine and Italian architecture)

Gastronomy

Between land and sea,the Cyclades offer a feast for the senses: goatcheese, grilledfish, and mineral-rich whitewines—a cuisine where every bite tells a story. We know all the best places to dive into the local cuisine.
