Unexplored Greek Islands

This morning, we stop for a refreshing swim at the Seychelles beach and enjoy a barbecue lunch on board as we dock in Ikaria's quaint port. Enjoy a hike in wild landscapes followed by a dip in one of the eight natural thermal springs. Alternatively, join a cooking class in a family’s country home kitchen or garden in an ancient village for a personalised experience cooking and learning about life and the secret to the inhabitants. We spend the night at the port.

In the morning, we arrive in Patmos to discover two of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites; the Grotto and Monastery of St. John and the historic centre of the medieval town of Chora filled with grandeur and serenity. In the afternoon, we sail to Lipsi island, a time capsule of authenticity in the Dodecanese. Here, you can enjoy lunch al fresco and swim in one of the glittering necklaces of 24 islets. On board we invite you to taste the famous Aposperitis red Lipsi wine. In the evening, you'll have the opportunity to explore the local Lipsi harbour at leisure, where we spend the night.

The ship sails towards the Cyclades and we'll enjoy a stop at Levitha island, inhabited by a family of four, raising animals. In the summer, the family also runs a small but spotless restaurant for the visiting yachts. Midday sailing to Amorgos, the island of Luc Besson's "Big Blue". Mellowed with traditions, firewater, and laid-back villages, will make you forget the 20th century, never mind the 21st. Enjoy an afternoon with locals learning how to make the island's famous "Psimeni Raki", a local homemade liquor with the flavour of honey and clove made since ancient times on Amorgos. Spend your evening at leisure to enjoy the breath-taking medieval capital, 400m above sea level. We spend the night in Amorgo's quaint port of Katapola.

Our early morning discovery takes us to the impressive monastery of Chozoviotissa built in 1088 inside the rocky cliffs of the mountain. We visit monks’ cells which are open to visitors and contain important heirlooms and artifacts. Afterwards, we sail to the Small Cyclades and enjoy a swim in Koufonisia. Take out the ship's Kayaks and Paddle boards to explore sea caves only accessible by yachts. We will have a scenic cruise around the nearby island of Schinoussa before we reach Iraklia, a tiny hidden island gem in the heart of the Aegean. There is no supermarket on the island, and deliveries come by ferry from the nearby island of Naxos. Spend your evening at leisure to enjoy the true laid-back Greek island life, where we will anchor for the night.
