The Cyclades

Located in the Aegean Sea, the Cyclades sit southwest of mainland Greece and consist of hundreds of islands, many of which are uninhabited. The Cyclades’ most popular superyacht destination is arguably Santorini; however, beyond this uber-exclusive port of call lie plenty of island gems waiting to be discovered: Ios, Paros, Antiparos, Mykonos, Milos, and more.

Explore historic towns steeped in Venetian and Byzantine architecture, discover abundant olive groves, or relax on beautiful beaches like the iconic Smuggler’s Cove on Zakynthos.
