Sailing Route – Cyclades Islands II

If you have more than a week to spend sailing the Cyclades then you can take in all the islands in our Northern & Middle Cyclades itinerary and then extend it to Mykonos, Naxos, Schinoussa, Ios, Folegandros, Milos and Sifnos (see our Cyclades Islands I route).

But the Cycladic islands are many and varied and are perfect for mixing and matching as you like. So our second charter route suggested here omits the islands of Naxos and Schinoussa in favour of the famous Amorgos. Happy sailing!

A little bit about Amorgos

  1. Made famous by Luc Besson’s classic movie ‘The Big Blue’, Amorgos is truly a beautiful island, far enough off the beaten track to feel just a bit more special. A highlight for a short visit would have to include the Monastary of Panagia Hozoviotissa, perched 300 meters upo a cliff which drops virtually straight down into the ‘deep blue’ waters of the Aegean!
