Sparkling Cyclades

The Cyclades shine proudly under the Greek summer sun. Renowned for their whitewashed architecture, pristine beaches, and crystal-clear azure waters, each island boasts its own unique beauty.

Forming a circle around the sacred island of Delos, legend has it the Cyclades were once nymphs transformed into islands by Poseidon’s rage. But not just any islands — perhaps the most breathtaking in the world.

This journey takes you across some of the most celebrated Cycladic islands, admired not only for their natural beauty but also for their cosmopolitan flair, vibrant culinary scene, and legendary nightlife. Discover Milos, Sifnos, Paros, Mykonos, Syros, Kea, and other hand-picked hidden gems, creating lifelong memories in true yacht style.

Day 2: Milos

Morning arrival at Sarakiniko Bay in northern Milos, famed for its milky-blue waters and striking sea caves.

I would strongly recommend Diamond star Experience for booking a holiday , We will def book again with them when returning to Turkey. Thanks and well done ! A truly wonderful Break" Mrs Wilson  - 21 Aug 2025

"A week's trip on Perla del Mar captained by Mustafa, with chef Dohan, and crew Cem, Emre and Meric turned out to be the best family holiday we had ever booked. Akin's recommendation of the boat was spot on. Dohan's menu and cooking was absolutely excellent. The crew went out of their way to assist us at every opportunity and their care and attention to the children on the trip was exemplary. There wasn't a single fault that on the whole trip, the transfers worked perfectly, the crew were there to greet us at Marmaris and led us through the alleys to the waterside where the amazing boat in front of us was to be ours for a week. We were all taken aback and realised that Mum's mad dream was coming to fruition. A holiday found by google, sold to us by Akin who took the trouble to explain everything turned out to be beyond the dreams of all of us. Canoeing in quiet coves, swimming and snorkelling to our hearts content then served with drinks and snacks before amazing meals and enjoying the trips between coves became the order of each day. I can firmly recommend this holiday to anyone. It was simply amazing." Christine - 25 May 2025

" We went to Diamond Star experience because they offer multi-centre holidays and had good ratings. We were in no way disappointed with what was organised. We said that we wanted a few days in Athens and then a week on a relatively quiet island. Akin made a proposal (Athens then Naxos) and then, when we agreed, organised everything. The Athens hotel was central and accessible to the main sites and to restaurants, and was of very good quality. The choice of Naxos for the island was equally good and we stayed in an excellent three star hotel on the edge of the town within easy reach of the beach and restaurants. All transfers were efficiently organised and even when there was a transport hiccup (our fault!) there was a phone call from the Athens back-up team within the hour to find out what had happened.
Thank you very much, Akin and staff, for a really enjoyable holiday and for service which can be easily be recommended.
