Cyclades yacht charter from Paros

Paros is the ideal place from which to explore the Cyclades, including Mykonos, Serifos, Sifnos and Santorini. With around 220 islands in the group, you are spoilt for choice.

Parikia, the island’s capital, is a vibrant, bustling town of narrow cobbled streets, traditional blue and white houses and old churches, the most famous being the church of a hundred doors, all overlooked by a 17th-century Venetian castle.

A week takes you south to Ios and Santorini, through the Little Cyclades to Naxos, and on to Delos and Mykonos; with two weeks you can add Milos, Folegandros, Astypalaia and Amorgos.
