Explore Little Cyclades

There's no real infrastructure to speak of on the Little Cyclades, which is exactly the appeal by boat - a handful of family-run tavernas, empty coves, and turquoise water shallow enough to see the bottom from the deck. It's a detour, not a headline stop, and best added onto a route that already includes Naxos or Amorgos.

How your week works

There's no fixed route - your week bends to you.

Every charter is private and fully custom. Your captain shapes each day around the weather, the sea and what you feel like - more swimming or more towns, an early start or a slow morning. Anything you read here about Little Cyclades is inspiration, not a schedule; you can change plans anytime on board.

Planned with you daily

The route is set together, each morning.

Weather-led

Always the calmest, most beautiful option.

Your call

Linger longer wherever you fall in love.

The character of Little Cyclades

Koufonisia, Schinoussa, Iraklia and Donousa - a scatter of small islands between Naxos and Amorgos, with a combined population smaller than one Mykonos hotel and some of the clearest water in the Aegean.

For guests who've done the famous islands and want the ones after them.

What you do here

How it fits a week

A detour day off a Naxos or Amorgos route - the emptiest, clearest water of the whole trip. Nothing here is fixed - your captain places Little Cyclades wherever it works best for your weather and your mood.
