A warm Aegean breeze lifts the scent of salt and citrus as a low-slung wooden kaiki eases away from Ornos harbour. The handcrafted hull rocks with a confident old-boat rhythm; seagulls quarrel overhead and the coastline of Mykonos unfolds like a map of white sand and wind-buffed rock.

A warm Aegean breeze lifts the scent of salt and citrus as a low-slung wooden kaiki eases away from Ornos harbour. The handcrafted hull rocks with a confident old-boat rhythm; seagulls quarrel overhead and the coastline of Mykonos unfolds like a map of white sand and wind-buffed rock.
This is a day designed to move at sea-speed: slow enough for photos through the bobbing lenses of your phone, quick enough to hop between beaches. Kaiki boats are part of Greek maritime history — traditional workboats rebuilt for leisure — and they show off the island’s basalt beds, marine terraces and stripped, wind-scoured headlands carved by Meltemi winds. Culturally, the south shore is where island life meets summer tourism: family coves sit beside famous beach clubs, and tavernas serve grilled skewers and local wine from small producers.
Expect a 6–7 hour private loop that starts at Ornos or Platis Gialos, passes Psarou, Paraga, Jackie O and Paradise, and ends at a quieter cove for a relaxed barbecue lunch on board. The crew will provide bottled water, wine, fruit and snorkeling kit; stops are adjustable on request.
Practical notes: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and passport details for port authority clearance 48 hours in advance. Wear non-marking shoes for boarding and keep valuables in waterproof cases. If the Meltemi picks up, the captain will favor wind-protected anchorages on the south coast — plan flexible timing and let the crew tailor stops to swimming conditions.
