Saturday 16:00, we leave Lavrio for Kea. Kythnos, Serifos, Sifnos and Kimolos go by at an easy pace, then Polyaigos and Folegandros. On Santorini we stop in Ammoudi bay before a night in the harbour of Vlychada, then cross the caldera to Thirasia and Ios. Antiparos, Paros and Naxos lead to Rinia and Mykonos, then Tinos and Kythnos bring us back toward Sounion and Lavrio on Friday at 18:00. In all, 328 nautical miles and 53 hours under way over thirteen nights, three of them in port: a relaxed pace, to cross the Cyclades without rushing.
