Sailing & Cycling in the Greek Cyclades and Saronic Islands — Thalassa Boat

By choosing this itinerary, you will stay aboard the Thalassa boat. The daily itinerary remains the same.

Experience the symbiosis of antiquity and modern times on this island hopping tour in Greece. By sailing and cycling the Cyclades and Saronic Islands over the course of 8 days, you get to experience Greek culture, history, and spectacular nature. Your home for the week is Erato or Thalassa, both of them deluxe yachts with spacious cabins and a vast sun deck, perfect for soaking up that Greek sun which will be your fuel for months to come. Daily cycling tours around Kythnos, Serifos, Syros, Kea, Poros, and Aegina take you to the islands’ highlights, but you’re always welcome to chill on the yacht and re-energize yourself by swimming in the Aegean Sea.

The Cyclades can have stronger winds, which can result in minor modifications of the tour route. However, should the wind be too strong, the route might markedly differ from the planned route. It would take you through the Saronic Gulf for the entire week, one of the most historic regions of Greece. In that case, you would cross between the Greek mainland and the Peloponnese, discovering the islands of Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, and the Methana peninsula. A highlight of the substitute journey would be a visit to the ancient Epidaurus, home to the best-preserved theater in Greece!

Regarding the daily tours and cycling, you can always skip a day tour and hang out on your boat, swimming in the azure sea or basking in the sun on its spacious sun deck.
Make your way to the Marina Zeas in Piraeus, which is where your Talassa boat will be waiting for you. Check-in on the ship is possible from 2 pm onwards. Settle into your comfy cabin, get some rest, and meet your team and your guide over a dinner on board. Overnight stay in Athens.
Early in the morning, set sail towards Kythnos Island, famous for its delicious cheese and honey since classical antiquity. Begin your first cycling tour in the harbor of Merichas and head towards the island’s capital, Chora. Along the way, enjoy wonderful scenic views of the coastline. Chora is a lovely town, perched highly up on a plateau, featuring recognizable white facades with blue windows and cobblestone streets. Continue onto the bucolic Driopida before returning to Merichas, where you can spend the evening in one of its cozy tavernas.

Distance: 15 miles / 25 km
The boat takes you to Serifos in the morning, a small island off the beaten tourist track. The island is characterized by countless bays and hidden coves, deep valleys, and many sandy beaches. From the harbor town of Livadi, cycle along a serpentine road to the island’s main town of Serifos, whose cube-shaped white houses stretch along the mountain ridge high above the sea. From there, continue on through pristine landscape to the Byzantine monastery of the Archangel Michael. Return to Livadi along a panoramic road, where you’ll board the boat and head to Syros. Stroll through the breathtaking old town and end the day in one of the numerous dainty cafes on the lovely harbor promenade.

Distance: 17 miles / 28 km
Ermoupolis on Syros is the capital town of the Cyclades and offers an incredible view upon arrival. This unique town is built on two hills, and its pastel-colored facades make it different from the other towns. Cycle along the coast of Syros, which is full of bays and coves along the entire southern half of the island, all the way to the beach of Galissas, and past the convent of Saint Barbara. Come back to Ermoupolis in the afternoon and continue by boat to the island of Kea.

Distance: 20 miles / 34 km
The starting point of exploring this Cycladic island is the harbor of Korissia. From there, climb up to the island’s capital Ioulis before continuing onto the whitesand Otzias Beach, where you can take a dip and get refreshed. Cycle back to Korissia, and then sail to Poros in the Saronic gulf in the afternoon. The harbor town of Poros is a spectacular sight with its iconic clock tower soaring high above the town. Poros is the perfect place to have a nice, relaxing evening and soak in the authentic Greek island atmosphere.

Distance: 15 miles / 25 km
Today you will almost completely circle the entire island of Poros. In ancient times, the island was dedicated to Poseidon, the sea god. Shortly before the end of the cycling tour, arrive at Russian Bay, a sandy beach with turquoise waters, presenting a perfect spot to swim. Once back in Poros, board the boat and enjoy a delicious lunch on your way to Aegina.

Distance: 14 miles / 23 km
The island of Aegina is known far beyond the Greek borders of its delicious pistachio nuts! Start pedaling up towards the Temple of Aphaia (think of it as a mini Acropolis), towering high above the blue seas. The location of this incredibly well-preserved temple is the only point on the island where the Aegean Sea can be seen on both sides. On your way back to the boat, cycle across the middle of the island, past the monastery of Nektarios, and all the way to the town of Aegina. Board the boat and enjoy your last cruise back to Athens. The last evening onboard ends with a group dinner and last get-together in a cozy atmosphere with the crew, fellow travelers, and tour guides.

Distance: 22 miles / 35 km
After breakfast, it’s time to disembark the boat. Say your goodbyes and head home. Alternatively, you can extend your stay in Greece—just ask your guides for some recommendations, they’re happy to arrange a wonderful stay for you!

Accommodation

Thalassa boat

The Thalassa is a 38-meter (125-foot) yacht with 10 cabins. It features a spacious and wonderfully decorated saloon, and it is here where the crew serves culinary delights (should the weather prevent you from eating outdoors on deck). The large sundeck provides plenty of sun mats to lie on, and the covered stern provides comfortable upholstered areas to relax in.

The crew spoils their guests at mealtimes with a delicious selection of local specialties prepared in the ship’s own galley. No wonder that the favorite sound of guests onboard is the ringing of the mealtime bell!

Erato boat

The Erato is an elegant motor sailer, offering all the comfort and luxury you could desire during your adventure. The bordeaux-red yacht is an instant eye-catcher! The outdoor area boasts plenty of comfortable seating and space for you to relax under the sky. The friendly and attentive crew have spent most of their lives on the water and are fully dedicated to fulfill your holiday dreams.

The salon boasts a well-stocked bar and plenty of space for socialising. Not to be forgotten, the Erato offers a delicious range of traditional Greek cuisine, lovingly served at every meal.

Food & cabins

You will have a private chef onboard, preparing the breakfast and one or two warm meals a day. The catering begins with dinner on the arrival day and breakfast on the departure day.

A free WiFi connection is available on both boats. On the open sea, reception cannot be guaranteed at all times. Should you need a stable Internet connection during your stay, it’s recommended you go to a café or bar at the port—free WiFi is offered almost everywhere, if you order something there, you can use their WiFi.

These deluxe yachts offer comfortable and equipped cabins below deck with functional fine wood furnishings, offering a warm and cozy atmosphere. Each cabin has individually regulated air-conditioning and an ensuite bathroom with shower, wash bin, hair dryer and toilet. There are cabins with a double bed (140 x 200 cm) and with two single beds (200 x 80 cm).

In case you’d like to join as a solo traveller, there is a mandatory single fee (50% of the tour price, and this depends on availability and season)—if interested, please let us know before booking!

Crew, staff, good, boat was perfect. It was very clean and comfortable except at night when we were on docks without electricity we were hot. We loved our time swimming and kayaking. It was disappointing that the SUPs on board were broken.
