The picturesque villages are charming with narrow cobbled streets and flowering gardens. Small churches stand on mountainous hills and in the midst of dense forests. The endless coastline is lined with dozens of small coves and lagoons where you can swim and relax.

- yacht tour
- Fabulous beaches, Cycladic architecture, vibrant nightlife. The island, favoured by the world's celebrities, will draw you into its rhythm. But above all, here you will feel the spirit of freedom.
- Shimmering white against the blue Aegean Sea, Mykonos' architecture is one of a kind. It permeates the small neighbourhoods of the island's main town, Chora, with its captain's houses, old churches and wells. Everywhere you look is a maze of whitewashed alleys.
- Little Venice is made up of houses built in the XVIII century, with their foundations sinking into the sea. It is said that pirates used to store their booty here.
- The windmills face the sea and are beautifully lit up at night. Driven by the north wind, they milled grain until the early 20th century.
- Anything is possible in Mykonos, especially when it comes to the island's restaurants and nightlife. The parties go on all summer long. Day and night, spontaneous and organised, with guest DJs from all over the world. Mykonos is all about fun: champagne on the beach, cocktails on the balconies, dancing and flirting until sunrise.

Imagine the whitewashed streets with bougainvillea flowers and cute cafes of Mykonos, the beautiful beaches of Milos, the amazing sunsets of Santorini and the best Greek food all in one!
- Located close to its famous neighbours, Paros used to be a relatively secret haven for the initiated. But in the last few years, the fashionable, rich and famous have started to visit its beautiful beaches and bougainvillea-strewn fishing villages, and Paros has become an alternative to Mykonos and Santorini.
- It is an island of beaches, mountains and wind-blown rocky cliffs, dotted with broken columns, sarcophagi, mosaics - evidence that the place went from Greeks to Romans, Byzantines to Venetians and finally independent Greece from the Ottomans. It is renowned for its flawless marble from which the Venus of Milos and the Winged Victory of Samothrace were made.

- Taste the traditional dishes and cuisine of Sifnos: chickpea soup in pots, mastelo, caper salad. After swimming in isolated coves, enjoy a fish snack in the beautiful ancient port of Seralia and then walk up the path to the medieval settlement of Kastro with its Venetian loggias to see the sunset.
- In the evening, all roads lead to the famous Steno neighbourhood of Apollonia. Here we will find cosy bars, restaurants, cafes, shops, churches, islanders' houses and flowery courtyards. We will order our favourite cocktails at one of the local bars and enjoy them against this magical backdrop.

It is a city that permeates and defies eternity - because it has proved through its history that it can be reborn again and again, while remaining itself.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Here we have collected answers to frequently asked questions to make it easier for you to choose a trip where you will get the best experience and comfort.
- In the morning we wake up at 8-9-10 whoever wants.
- We prepare breakfast at 8-8:30, have breakfast and about 10 o'clock we go to sea.
- We sail, sunbathe on the deck, take photos and videos
- We enter beautiful bays, swim, dive, fish.
- Lunch in a beautiful lagoon.
- At 16-18 hours we arrive at the next pearl of our route. This is usually an enclosed bay, marina or harbor. Either a waterfront with restaurants.
- We have dinner at a local restaurant, enjoying the gastronomic delights and culture of the place.
- We spend the night on the yacht in cabins, if desired we can sleep outside under the stars, breathing in the scents of pine needles
- Sometimes we anchor in a wild cove and enjoy the silence.
You will settle in a cabin with a person of your gender. They are always neat, interesting and educated people just like you.
Together with the team you buy basic food at the beginning of the trip and prepare breakfasts and lunches together during the week. If you don't know how to cook, you can take part in the team's activities (cutting food, setting the table, washing dishes, shopping, filling the boat with water, washing the deck). We usually eat dinner in restaurants, unless it's a wild cove.
It's enough to follow safety precautions: don't sit on your phone, don't go unnecessarily downstairs in the cabin when riding the waves, drink Dramina on day 1 and 2 for better adaptation, look at the horizon, relax and enjoy the masterpieces of nature.
The team is usually made up of interesting, educated, broad-minded people who make the trip even brighter. We do not invite people who consider the trip as an alco-tour, but welcome moderate or no alcohol consumption.
Of course, it is possible and necessary to introduce children from 3 years old to the feeling of freedom that yachting gives. We separate groups with and without children on different yachts.

- The main thing to bring with you is a great, positive attitude!
