The Cyclades form a cluster of 39 islands in the Aegean sea. Distances between them are small making for an ideal cruising area with easy navigation. Sandy beaches, rare in some parts of the Mediterranean, are a feature of the area as are the local architecture with narrow cobbled streets and numerous archaeological sites.

The islands of Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos and Ios have become popular tourist destinations and offer a mix of tranquil charm and exciting nightlife while elsewhere quaint fishing and mountain villages are yours to explore at your own pace.
