The cruising ground
Mykonos is the embarkation hub for the Cyclades — Delos, Rhenia, Paros, Ios and the long passage south to Santorini. Charters here favour shorter hops, multiple anchorages per day, and beach club tenders.
Best season
Late June through early September. Meltemi winds shape every itinerary.
