Greece's Cyclades Regatta 2018: Sailing for 21 long hours from Kea to Milos (teaser)
View the full length video in 4K at
We arrived bright and early in the morning on the first day of July at the dock where our sailing club boat Giorgio was moored in the small port town of Korissia on the island of Kea to meet up with the rest of our nine-member crew.
Everyone was full of energy and all smiles, ready for the long-awaited Cyclades Regatta to kick off, with the first race leg from Kea to Milos spanning a total of 60 nautical miles. It was the longest of the annual offshore sailing event's four race legs.
With a forecast for weak wind, we hoped that history wouldn't repeat itself. In the summer of 2017 we crewed in the regatta, which takes a different route through the Cyclades island region every year, for the first time. Last year, the first race leg also departed from Kea. And there was very little wind to speak of ; so little that our skipper reluctantly decided to abandon the race.
This year, race organisers amended the starting line of the race leg off Kea at the last minute, clearly hoping that the wind might pick up further offshore.
With 45 participating boats in total, the ORC International yachts set off first, followed by the ORC Club category, under which Giorgio falls, at about 11.20am
The leg kicked off with a decent breeze but, soon enough, it died down.
Gusts appeared here and there, giving us hope, however it wasn't to be.
Before long, the sun dipped toward the horizon and we watched as two boats were silhouetted against the fiery orange glow.
The slow slog to nowhere continued as the night sky lit up brilliantly. As the hours passed, a couple of crew members disappeared below deck to catch some zs. The rest of us shared spinnaker trimming duty, as there wasn't much else we could do.
We all managed to keep our spirits up though, even as the sun began to rise and we inched ever so slowly into Milos' long, natural harbour. By then some, 18 hours had passed.
Finally, at 8.30am the next morning, after 21 long hours of battling to grasp even the slightest whisper of wind, the Giorgio crew heard that much longed-for sounding of the horn as we crossed the finish line.
We quietly celebrated our arrival at Adamas port as we rafted up next to a fellow club boat, taking care not to wake them up. A little worse for wear, we were just happy we made it to Milos within our 23-hour time limit.

Cyclades Regatta 2018: Inshore racing off Milos island
After an achingly slow start to this year’s Cyclades Regatta, we were itching to get our sailing club boat Giorgio back on the water for race leg two of the annual event.
We traversed the first race leg - stretching 60 nautical miles between the Cycladic islands of Kea and Milos - in 23 seemingly endless hours, most of them in intense summer heat and windless conditions.
So, after a full rest day on Milos, we were ready to tackle the scheduled inshore race off the port town of Adamas, that is constantly buzzing with people, tour boats and yachts.
We savoured a light yet constant breeze of around 10 knots in Milos' long, deep natural harbour, one of Greece's biggest and most impressive. Indeed, the harbour is one reason the horseshoe-shaped island is such a popular sailing destination.
One of the major highlights of the race involved passing right in front of the tiny fishing hamlet of Klima, known for its traditional multi-coloured boat houses called syrmata.
What a huge rush it was gybing round the buoy markers and speeding ahead of our competitors.
For most of us, it was a whole new experience as it was the first time we had crewed in an inshore race.
Our sailing club, the Nautical Club of Palio Faliro, did very well in the inshore race. Our two fellow club boats nabbed top honours in their respective categories.
Cosmote Erytos 2, with Kostas Manthos at the helm, took first place in the ORC International class while Echionas, skippered by Giorgos Mitropoulos, won the inshore in the ORC Club class.
Among the 27 ORC Club boats, Giorgio placed a respectable fourth so we were pretty happy about that.
As with all regattas, the Cyclades Regatta is as much about the race as the island destinations featured in the programme, which changes from year to year. Generally, the itinerary alternates between the islands of the North and South Aegean.
On Milos, we had one-and-a-half rest days but wished we had a little longer to see this fascinating island at the southwestern edge of the Cyclades.
Up until recently, it had remained a well-kept secret among Greeks, particularly couples, who head there to hop between its incredibly diverse beaches.
These range from moonscape-like Sarakiniko and its deep emerald waters to more remote Gerondas, where you can take shade from the sun beneath natural cave formations.
One of our favourite Greek islands, we had last visited Milos eight years ago, spending a good 10 days exploring as much as we could with a feisty four-wheel drive.
Back then, we took an unforgettable day trip on a sailboat to swim and snorkel at the sea caves of Kleftiko and Sykia, with a group of about six other people.
This time around, we were a little disappointed to see day tripper boats heaving with visitors heading out of Adamas port for tours of the island and onto the caves.
Nevertheless, we were relieved to find that, as far as we could tell, the island hasn’t changed much since 2010.
Beaches like Alogomandra, whose redeeming feature is a cave with a roof that has long collapsed, remain pristine. There, we took a refreshing dip late one afternoon and watched as silhouetted figures jumped off rocks into the sea.
One evening, together with the Giorgio crew, we sampled assorted meze at a taverna in a quiet area of the island’s capital Plaka, run by a dreadlocked Greek chef. We then wandered up the cobblestoned steps that lead to the top of the village, losing ourselves amid atmospherically-lit narrow alleyways and bumping into other crews.
The authentic fishing village of Pollonia, with its string of waterfront tavernas and sandy bay, looks almost exactly the same, with the exception of some contemporary signage and a few more whitewashed studios.
There, we stayed at Salt Suites & Executive Rooms, a boutique property that enjoys a peaceful western-facing seaside position and jaw-dropping sunsets.
On our final evening in Milos, we joined fellow crews at the award ceremony held at the local sailing club. We swelled up with pride as a couple of teenaged club members, representing the new generation of Greek sailing talent, receive an award for their recent successes.
A three-member crew participating in their first sailing race also collected a cup in recognition of their dogged determination to finish the Kea-Milos leg, even if they didn’t make it within their allotted time limit.
Our time on Milos ended with the sun setting over Adamas that night, as we watched youngsters run back and forth across a rickety wooden jetty basking in a deep orange glow.

Milos 2018 Beaches & Boat trip
Die 2.Insel unseres 3 wöchigen Griechenland Urlaubs vom 19.8. bis 9.9.2018.
5 Inseln haben wir uns angesehen: Mykonos, Milos, Sifnos, Ios, Santorini.
In 8 Unterkünften waren wir insgesamt.
Auf Milos hatten wir 3 Nächte vorgebucht, eine 4.dann verlängert, sind dann umgezogen und nochmal 4 Nächte geblieben, insgesamt also 8 Nächte dort gewesen vom 21.8.-29.8.18.
Unser Fazit: Absoluter Traum!
Die Insel soll über70 Strände haben, der ganze linke untere Teil der Insel ist nur mit dem Boot
oder teilweise mit einem Quad zu erreichen. Mopeds und Leihwägen dürfen da eigentlich nicht fahren, da die Straßen nicht geteert sind, weil Naturschutzgebiet.
Sehr schöne Hafenstadt: ADAMAS und die PLAKA (Altstadt), die auf einem Hügel weniger als 10 Minuten Fahrtzeit vom Hafen Adamas liegt.
Unsere Unterkünfte:
4 Nächte: ohne Frühstück 120€/Nacht 1 Schlafzimmer + 1 Einzelbett im Wohnzimmer, Küche, 2 Balkons.
Popi, die Besitzerin ist Super und gibt einem viele Tipps. Griechische Taverne direkt daneben, sehr lecker.
4 Nächte: 100€/Nacht Frühstück, 5 € prp Person 2 Schlafzimmer (4 Betten), 1 Balkon, keine Küche
Bootsausflug 1 Tag (80€/Person incl. Eat & Drinks): aquatta.gr
Sehr zu empfehlen! Crew: Costa & Andreas sind Spitze!
Siehe auch Tripadvisor Bewertungen! kleines Büro direkt am Hafen.
Leckerstes Restaurant Nähe Adamas (Hafenstadt) ca. 15 Min zu Fuß erreichbar:
Früh da sein! ab 18:30 Uhr stehen die Leute Schlange um einen Platz zu bekommen.
Preis: eher unterdurchschnittlich günstig - Viele Vegetarisch & Vegane Gerichte.
Am Strand (ich glaube kostenlose) Liegen!
Mopedverleih, Büro direkt am Hafen: Niko`s Moto
