A Destination for Every Traveler

The Historic Heart: Delos and the Cycladic Civilization

According to tradition, the Cyclades owe their name to the circle they form around the a href="/sailing-destinations/aegean-sea/cyclades/delos-dilos">sacred isle of Delos. This area was the birthplace of one of the Mediterranean's most important civilizations, the Cycladic civilization (3000-1000 BC). Yacht charter Cyclades voyages often include guided tours of these historic sites, immersing travelers in the rich history of the area.

The Geology and Legend of Atlantis

Geologists attribute the peculiar form of the Cyclades to a succession of geological upheavals, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and movements of the earth's crust, which resulted in the submergence of large chunks of land. Many believe that one such stretch of land was the lost continent of Atlantis.

Aegean Aesthetics: The Islands in Literature

The diverse outlines of the islands as they protrude from the blue waters of the Aegean, bathed in dazzling sunlight and embellished with little white houses, resemble, in the words of the Nobel Prize-winning poet Odysseas Elytis, stone horses with rampant manes.

The Heartbeat of the Cyclades: Local Life and Culture

The people who live here, with their unique approach to the world, bring to life the narrow alleyways of the villages, the pathways of the countryside, the countless tiny chapels, the windmills, the dovecotes, and the wind-beaten hillsides. Their presence is a basic feature of the charm these islands possess.

Unique Islands under the Same Sun

In spite of the common characteristics – sparkling sea, sun, austere landscape, and characteristic architecture – each island retains its uniqueness. Visitors can discover this uniqueness as they explore each island one by one with a yacht charter in the Cyclades.

The Climate: Sun-Kissed Summers and Mild Winters

The Cycladic islands enjoy a Mediterranean climate with an average annual temperature of 18-19°C. The winters are mild, and the summers – by Greek standards – cool, thanks to the beneficial effects of theseasonal winds known as “meltemia” (or "Etesians").
