Day 1 : Parikia (Paros)
You meet at 6 p.m. at the port of Parikia for your embarkation. Your skipper will welcome you and give you an overview of the week's activities. Once you've settled into your cabin, it's time to stock up on groceries. You'll do a bit of tidying up on board before heading out. This evening, you'll dine in a local tavern, which is a good opportunity to get to know your team-mates.

DAY 2: Paros - Antiparos - Despotiko (Antiparos) (approx. 3 to 4 hours sailing)
Your first day begins with a visit to the village and port of Parikia. Don't miss the Basilica of Panaghia Katontapyliani: this Byzantine monument is the largest early Christian sanctuary in the Cyclades. For lunch, you anchor in a pretty bay to the north of Antiparos. After a short swim, you set off to sail between Paros and Antiparos before stopping at Despotiko beach. This is where your yoga teacher invites you to your first session. You finish the day in style with a barbecue on the beach, surrounded by magnificent scenery.

DAY 3 : Despotiko (Antiparos) - Alimias (Iraklia) - Agios Georgios (Iraklia) (approx. 4 to 5h of navigation)
Today's stopover is south-west of Iraklia, on the small beach of Alimias. How about a refreshing dip in the water? Below you, in the depths of the sea, lies the wreckage of a Second World War aircraft. After lunch on board, your yacht sets sail again for Agios Georgios, a picturesque little port to the north of Iraklia. Take time to stroll through the narrow streets of the village before your daily yoga session in the late afternoon. You'll have dinner at the taverna this evening.

DAY 4 : Agios Georgios (Iraklia) - Antikeri - Katapola (Amorgos) (approx. 4 to 5h of navigation)
This morning, for the more courageous, we offer a beautiful walk to the cave of Aghios Ioannis (around 5 hours round trip). Back on board, the skipper hoists the sails to head between the small Cyclades: Schinoussa, Katokoufonisi, Keros and Antikeri. This is your chance to observe how the sailing unfolds and to help your skipper with the manoeuvres. Enjoy a swim or relax on the boat at Antikeri before heading back to Katapola, the main port of Amorgos. After your yoga session at the end of the day, you can stroll through the streets of the village and enjoy a convivial dinner by the water in a fish taverna.

DAY 5: Katapola (Amorgos) - Koufonissia (approx. 3 to 4 hours sailing)
From Amorgos, set off to discover the fabulous monastery of Panagia Chozoviotissa, perched on the side of a cliff and offering breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. You will then take a stroll through the pretty village of Chora, in search of the locations where some of the scenes from the film "The Big Blue" were shot. In the early afternoon, head north of Koufonissia to anchor in the large protected bay of Pori. Take a stroll along the coast to discover the natural pools and rock cavities. To round off the day, relax with a yoga session on the beach.

DAY 6: Koufonissia - Naxos (approx. 4 to 5 hours sailing time)
Start the day with a little tidying up on board before a beautiful day's sailing along the coast of Naxos, the largest island in the Aegean. Don't hesitate to offer to help your skipper with the navigation or to ask any questions you may have about sailing. You arrive at the port of Naxos in the late afternoon and moor near the Apollo Gate. Explore the charming narrow streets of this town where history and culture meet. Before dinner, relax with a yoga session. Dinner at the tavern this evening.

DAY 7: Naxos - Naoussa (Paros) - Parikia (Paros) (approx. 4 to 5 hours sailing)
On this last day at sea, you sail towards Paros. You drop anchor in the pretty bay of Naoussa for lunch. Take advantage of your free time to discover the charms of this typical village with its picturesque fishing port during a stroll. For those who prefer a dip, head for Tourkou beach on the northern tip. After your yoga session and dinner on board, your yacht returns to the port of Parikia.

    You are now fully part of the crew. You can enjoy participating in sailing and navigation. You are also asked to perform daily tasks and keep the sailboat in a state of order and cleanliness during your stay, for the good of all and your safety.
    Some tasks are necessary at the stopover: shopping, filling up with water or fuel, ice but also emptying the bins or doing some cleaning and tidying on board. It’s not a big deal, and if everyone participates, it will give everyone more time to visit the stopover location…
    Daily tasks are shared. No sailing skills are required. You can participate in the manoeuvres of the sailboat under the supervision of the skipper.
