Cyclades Route –
❑ Sailing along the Cyclades route allows you to touch the
magnificent islands of Greece like Mykonos and Santorini. If
you love the nightlife scene, Mykonos should be a place
you head to. For sailing enthusiasts seeking for enormous
beauty, tranquility and bucket-list worthy hiking trails, you
should stop at Santorini.
❑ Both of the islands are quite crowded; so you can head back to
your sailboat when you crave an escape from the hustle and
bustle. In fact, Paros is another popular island that is worth
your attention. This is popular for beautiful sandy beaches and
watersports opportunities. 4

Over the time, Paros has retained its authentic charm and character. Other
islands along this route include Kea, Andros, and Tinos, the smaller and
quieter islands with a less touristy and more authentic feel with equally
spectacular landscapes.
