Mykonos.
Cycladic cruising from Mykonos with reach to Delos, Rhenia and the smaller anchorages south of the island.
Overview
What to expect.
Mykonos is the principal Cycladic charter base: a working harbour with a small old town, set against the dry Aegean landscape that defines this stretch of Greece. The Old Port handles smaller yachts and tenders; Tourlos Marina, a short drive north, accommodates the superyacht fleet.
The cruising window runs mid-June through early September. The Meltemi shapes the rhythm: calm mornings, stronger afternoons from late July onwards: and the inner Cycladic anchorages around Rhenia, Delos and the southern coast of Mykonos fill from mid-July. The wider Cyclades: Paros, Naxos, Ios, Santorini. Sit within a single day’s cruising.
