The reasons to visit the Cyclades are endless; the hidden beaches, whitewashed clifftop towns, authentic cuisine and welcoming locals are merely a few! Let us tell you about an island which is an undiscovered paradise in the heart of the Cyclades&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/GalleryImage_2861_5715_d26563.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49883 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/GalleryImage_2861_5715_d26563.jpg\" alt=\"Sit back in the Greek sunshine and enjoy lunch in a typical taverna\" width=\"700\" height=\"468\" \/><\/a><!--more-->When most think of the Cyclades they assume we talk of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_charter\/mykonos_boat_hire.php?bbr=bblog\"><strong>Mykonos<\/strong><\/a> and Santorini, however there is much more on offer than these main islands! The stunning islet of Ant\u00edparos is well worth a visit, due to the 15th century Venetian castle and the cave of Ant\u00edparos with\u00a0its incredible stalagmite and stalactite formations.\u00a0Whether you charter a yacht in stylish Mykonos, legendary for its sophisticated nightlife, or the volcanic island of Santorini, the gem of the Aegean, you will be sure to have an unforgettable charter! This archipelago also has all the ingredients to be the perfect honeymoon charter destination, summer holiday or family trip&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/GalleryImage_2857_5707_857b14.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49885 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/GalleryImage_2857_5707_857b14.jpg\" alt=\"Explore the coves and inlets scattered throughout the stunning blue waters of the Greek islands\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><\/a>Antiparos is adorned by an intriguing coastline, where long stretches of beach\u00a0alternate with pebbly coves and small bays with turquoise waters. Antiparos is surrounded by numerous smaller islands: Despotiko, Revmatonisi, Kimitiri, Strongilo, Kavouras, Saliangos, Kokkinos and Mavros Tourlos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/GalleryImage_2845_5683_9a15b8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49887 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/GalleryImage_2845_5683_9a15b8.jpg\" alt=\"Dine on Greek specialties with your feet almost in the water!\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><\/a>Greece is a fantastic place to charter due to the variety the islands have to\u00a0offer. An itinerary can include the vibrant parties of Mykonos, sunsets of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/santorini_greece_visitors_guide.php?bbr=bblog\"><strong>Santorini<\/strong><\/a> and also more remote, less known islands. We can tailor an itinerary to match your criteria perfectly, and a catamaran is the ideal boat for this. A catamaran boasts shallow drafts allowing access to secluded coves, as well as spacious interior and a trampoline to sunbathe on. Does life get much better than floating around the Greek islands, lapping up the sun with your friends and family?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/big_serenity-lago-17900720620.pnge85d23.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49889 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/big_serenity-lago-17900720620.pnge85d23.jpg\" alt=\"Catamarans are ideal for exploring the numerous islands of Greece\" width=\"744\" height=\"462\" \/><\/a>Don&#8217;t just wish for a Cyclades charter, make it happen by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/custom_solution.php?bbr=bblog\"><strong>enquiring now<\/strong><\/a>!
