Set sail for the Aegean Sea and an island that is adored by locals but has fortunately escaped the plight of mass tourism. Sifnos’ unspoiled landscape will captivate you from the moment you set foot on the island. Continue to Santorini, the volcanic miracle in the heart of Cyclades. Naturally occurring hot springs, Minoan settlements, elegant wine estates, secluded beaches and picturesque villages can be found all around the island and offer the chance to craft your personal adventure based on your interests. Finally, heave anchors once more for Mykonos where the nightlife is so vivid that the vibrant town of Chora will be beaming with celebrities no matter what time of the year you find yourselves there. Shop in the elegant galleries of Matogianni street or enjoy dinner in Little Venice from world class chefs while the Cycladic simplicity of tranquil windmills, gentle waves and humble churches surround you, creating a charming juxtaposition between two worlds.
