Crete, Land of Origins:
Stays offered by a collective of Cretan companies,
in DIRECT, without intermediary.
Discovery of UNIQUE Crete, the real one.
Let's cruise together with ALEXANDER and THEMIS
"Our family business has been offering cruises in "Goelettes" in the Greek Islands since 2001.
They are comfortable and well equipped boats, between 21 and 27 meters, with only 5 or 6 cabins for a table of privileged travelers. The offer is as well "at the cabin" as in private cruise.
Our itineraries vary according to the season to offer the best weather conditions and to see our passengers coming back (some come back for the 7th time!) :
- "Cyclades with Santorini" from Mykonos or "small Cyclades", in mid-season,
- Ionian Islands or Sporades with transfer from Athens airport in July and August
- "Odyssey of the Seven Wonders" or "Evia Secret Greece" in late June and late August / early September.
Alexander (the father) and Themistocles (the son) are passionate about sailing, and have great experience of the Greek islands.
They propose you to discover, according to the season, the Ionian islands, the cyclades, the Dodecannese ....
Prices according to the different periods and following the boats
Which yacht can you choose ?
Here are the stops and itineraries that are offered, at the cabin, in May, June, September and October). This is the best months for the Cyclades, not too hot, not too crowded and ... not too windy ! In July and August, besides the crowded ports, the Meltemi (north wind) can blow very hard.
That's why, during these two months, the boats of Alexander and Thémis cross in two other magnificent archipelagos, Ionian and Sporades, for a quiet cruise of creeks in harbors.
For these routes in the Eastern Cyclades, you will leave Mykonos, which enjoys excellent connections (Ferries, planes). Embarkation will be on Sunday morning between 7:30 and 8am (after the first flight of Athens), and the boat weighs anchor in the wake. The landing takes place the following Saturday after breakfast.

Departure from Mykonos, this itineray will allow you to visit the most well known spots
of the Cyclades : Mykonos - Delos - Paros (Naoussa) - Ios - Santorini - Schinoussa - Naxos - Rineia - Mykonos
Itinerary "MYKONOS - SMALL CYCLADES":
Once more : departure from Mykonos, this itinery will follow the small bays and islands, with less time for navigation : Mykonos - Delos - Naoussa (Paros) - Piso Livadi (Paros)
Schinoussa - Kato Koufonissi - Koufonissi - Naxos - Rineia - Mykonos.
More or less, for technical ou weather reasons, the Capitain will change the itinerary , including Syros island rather than Paros, as following :
Mykonos - Delos - Syros - Antiparos bay -Schinoussa - Kato Koufonissi - Koufonissi - Naxos - Rineia - Mykonos
A typical day on board, with Alexander and Thémis:
You will drop anchor after your breakfast for one or two hours of sailing, usually along the coast, before landing in a
beautiful cove. Swimming, masks and snorkels, paddle or sunbathing are among the options available to you while the crew prepares a good meal based on the Cretan diet (fresh products, cooking based on olive oil).
The hearty meals include aperitive, starter, main course and dessert (but you do not have to finish the dishes ;-) The drinks on board are in "open-bar" (serve).
After a nap on the comfortable deck mattress or a new swim, you set sail for the port of the next island (one or two hours of navigation), where you arrive "fresh" to visit, make an excursion or simply flank and test the local taverns and taverns.
The boat staying overnight at the port, you can return when you want, after having, according to your tastes, your appetite and your budget, dined with a souvlaki, a Greek salad or fresh lobster.
It happens to reverse the order of meals to enjoy a night at anchor in a beautiful bay under the stars (dinner on board)
Price per person : between 1290 et 1590 € depending on the season
