This eight-day, self guided cycling and sailing holiday in the Cyclades offers a unique opportunity to experience local culture and environment in a more immersive way. It allows for strong bonds with fellow travellers in a small group, with each boat accommodating only eight berths. The trip departs from Lavrio and visits six of the Cyclades islands: Kea, Syros, Paros, Sifnos, Kthynos, and Serifos. Daily cycling covers around 30km with options for longer routes. Boat travel averages four hours a day, offering opportunities to relax, sunbathe, or learn sailing. Comprehensive maps, 24-hour support, and luggage transfers are included. Sifnos is a highlight with its hundreds of churches, monasteries, traditional white houses, and delicious cuisine. Serifos is mentioned for its connection to Greek mythology, said to be the birthplace of Perseus, with a challenging but rewarding ride to the hilltop capital, Chora. Paros is noted for its world-famous windmills. The holiday emphasizes responsible travel, with minimal carbon emissions due to sailing and cycling. Efforts are made to reduce the boat's impact on the marine environment, and guests are encouraged to follow responsible travel guidelines. The company also collects plastic caps for charity. Local guides and regional services are employed to benefit the community and offer authentic cultural experiences. The skipper is local, possessing excellent knowledge of the area, and all office employees are locals.
