After breakfast on board, spend the morning swimming in the turquoise waters that lap the shores of Rineia Island. Later on, cruise to Mykonos, once known as the ‘Island of the Winds’ where you will find charming places to visit such as Little Venice. Your captain will bring you to Kalafatis Bay, a stunning bay that stretches out on either side of a narrow, rugged headland. This is the perfect place for trying out the water toys on board before cruising to Psarou Beach. This is where you’ll find the trendiest beach restaurant in Mykonos, Nammos. Known for its bustling dinner scene and casual approach to Greek cuisine in an open-air setting, an evening at Nammos is bound to be one to remember during your yacht charter! The contemporary beachside lair of Scorpios Mykonos offers a relaxed vibe with an open-air restaurant and bar for a sundowner beside the sea. End the night in style at Mykonos’ Mediterranean Mecca Cavo Paradiso, the number 1 club in Greece. You might even be able to catch the sunrise if you stay out until the early hours of the morning! See our Mykonos Beach Club Guide for more inspiration on where to go on this party island! 


Day 3: Mykonos to Paros

On your third day, your captain will take you to Naoussa on the island of Paros, one of the distinctive Greek destinations to retain its authenticity, character and charm among the archipelago. In a huge bay in northern Paros, there is the opportunity to explore the underwater life for an hour or two deep-sea diving or if you prefer to stay on land, try horse riding! Explore the rocky terrain before spending the evening wandering around the streets of Paros for some shopping and fresh octopus in the famous Greek taverna Tsahpinis.

Koufonisia is made up of three islands, the main island of Pano Koufonisi, Kato Koufonisi and the off-limits island of Keros. The main island Pano is home to the town or 'chora', featuring whitewashed buildings and winding streets. The main attraction of Koufonisia are the outstanding beaches - those on the island often have to hike to reach the rocky inlets and beaches, but by boat, they are very accessible and usually unoccupied by anyone, perfect for sunbathing in seclusion! The bright blue waters are perfect for swimming, or you could have a go using the water toys further out at sea! Spend the night exploring the old town, sampling some freshly caught seafood for your dinner before heading back to your yacht.
