Aegean Beauty | Cyclades Islands Yacht Charters

Your Cyclades Islands yacht charter will visit some of the most beautiful islands in Greece. The Islands are one of the island groups in the Aegean Sea, southeast of mainland Greece.

Naxos is the largest island, and Ermoupoli (meaning “the city of Hermes”) on Syros is the capital town and administrative center.

Some of the world’s most beautiful and famous islands are in the Cyclades Islands. The Cyclades Islands translated in English to: “circular islands,” forming a circle around the sacred island of Delos. According to Greek mythology, Poseidon (God of the Sea) was furious at the Cyclades’ nymphs and turned them into islands.

Cyclades Islands Climate and Weather

The Cyclades islands have mild winters and comfortable summers. This beautiful weather makes the Cyclades a good choice for a luxury yacht charter and all associated water activities.

Rain is uncommon except at the higher altitudes in Tinos, Naxos, Kea, and Andros. During winter, you may see snow on the mountain peaks. The best time to visit the Cyclades is between June and September when the weather is warm and perfect for spending time on the beach.

As for sailing the Cyclades, the best time to go is from April through October, with warm sunny days. Note, however, that July and August are the hottest and busiest months of the year. It is also when the Meltemi winds are most powerful.

Milos

Milos is the southwesternmost island in the Cyclades group. Archaeologists found Venus de Milos and Asclepius of Milos on the island. Milos has the name "Island of Colors" because rich volcanic minerals paint the cliffs orange, pink, and white.

Swim at the best beach on the island called Firiplaka, or cliff jump off moon-like rocks at Sarakiniko Beach. Visit the charming village of Plaka.
