Cycling Cruise Iconic Cyclades; Round-Trip from Paros (Saturdays)

Your journey begins on the Cycladic Island of Paros. Upon arrival, a private transfer will take you to your yacht, which will be moored in the former fishing harbour of Naoussa (alternatively in the Capital of Paros, Perikia). Your cabin will be ready for check-in from 4:00 pm. Spend the remainder of the day exploring the charming town. Wander through winding alleyways lined with whitewashed houses adorned with blue doors and shutters, where vibrant bougainvillea add colourful accents and create the quintessential Greek island atmosphere. In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner aboard the Virtuoso, where you will meet your tour guide, the crew, and your fellow travellers.

After a short morning cruise, you arrive in Parikia, the main town of Paros, from where you take the ferry to Antiparos. Here, you set off on a scenic cycling tour, including a visit to the famous Cave of Antiparos. The cave is renowned for its spectacular stalactites and stalagmites, some of the oldest in Europe, with formations dating back more than 45 million years. Their extraordinary shapes and structures create a fascinating natural spectacle. A relaxing coffee break and a refreshing swim at Agios Georgios Beach complete your visit before returning by ferry to Paros. In the afternoon, the Virtuoso sets course for Sifnos. Upon arrival, explore the charming harbour of Kamares, famous for its traditional pottery where centuries-old craftsmanship is still lovingly preserved. Afterwards, enjoy some time to relax and swim at Kamares Beach, whose golden sands and crystal-clear waters invite you for a refreshing dip. Approx. 25 km.

After breakfast, you begin a picturesque cycling tour whose highlight is a guided visit to the enchanting, protected village of Kastro. Perched dramatically on a cliff, this jewel of the Cyclades charms visitors with its narrow alleys and whitewashed houses that tell stories of centuries past. During the ride, you will also visit a traditional pottery workshop, where a local artisan introduces you to centuries-old techniques during a hands-on pottery class. Back aboard the yacht, you sail to the island of Syros while enjoying the unmistakable light of the Aegean. Upon arrival, a guided walking tour leads you through the elegant neoclassical capital Ermoupolis, where you will also sample the famous local delicacy Loukoumi, a sweet treat beloved throughout Greece. Approx. 30 km.

Today's e-bike tour takes you along the beautiful southern coastline of Syros. Following scenic coastal roads, you stop for an extended break at the sandy beach of Galissas, where there is ample time for swimming and enjoying a coffee. The ride continues past the Monastery of Saint Barbara before returning to Ermoupolis. Later, it is once again time to cast off as your yacht sails to the neighbouring island of Tinos. Upon arrival, your guide invites you on a walk through the charming old town of Tinos, including a visit to the famous pilgrimage church of Panagia Evangelistria. In the late afternoon, you are transferred high into the mountains to Vaptistis Winery, where you can savour an excellent selection of local wines in elegant surroundings while enjoying panoramic views across to the legendary island of Mykonos.

Start the day with freshly brewed coffee or tea and a delicious breakfast on board before setting off on another panoramic e-bike tour across the island of Tinos. Known as the "Holy Island," Tinos is home to more than 750 churches and chapels, as well as around 650 Venetian dovecotes decorated with intricate geometric and floral patterns that continue to influence the island's architecture today. Along the way, you visit the enchanting village of Volax, nestled within an extraordinary landscape of giant granite boulders and widely regarded as one of the most beautiful villages in the Cyclades. Later, the journey continues to Mykonos.

In the morning, your yacht brings you to the small island of Delos, home to one of Greece's most significant archaeological treasures. Accompanied by a licensed guide, you enjoy a comprehensive three-hour tour through this UNESCO World Heritage Site, where impressive temple ruins, marketplaces, and ancient houses vividly illustrate the island's immense mythological and historical importance as the legendary birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. After this unforgettable journey into antiquity, enjoy a long and refreshing swimming stop along the pristine coast of nearby Rhenia, an unspoilt paradise renowned for its crystal-clear waters. Later, the Virtuoso sails to Naxos. Upon arrival in the late afternoon, your guide accompanies you through the charming old town, including the iconic Portara, the island's famous marble gateway—the monumental entrance to an unfinished Temple of Apollo dating from the 5th century BC. With a little luck, you may witness one of the most spectacular sunsets in the Cyclades before enjoying dinner at your leisure in the atmospheric lanes of Naxos Chora.

After a short morning cruise, you arrive in Naxos Town and begin your final e-bike tour through the island's impressive mountainous interior.
