From 27 June to 4 July 2009 the 15th International Sailing Race “CYCLADES 2009” will take place, which is part of the official program of races of the Hellenic Sailing Federation (E.I.O.).

Along with the Greek sailing boats of all recognized categories (ORCi International, ORC CLUB and IRC), foreign sailing boats and their crews are invited to participate in this race.

The Islands we will visit this year are Syros (Finikas), Amorgos (Aegiali) and Sifnos (Kamares). The local authorities, associations and residents of these islands will welcome us in their traditional custom, including entertainment and acquainting us with their traditions and the monuments of their home.
During this period (end June – early July) in the Aegean – especially in the Cyclades Island cluster – the weather conditions are usually favourable.

The Cyclades cluster is considered one of the finest vacation destinations worldwide, and one of the favorite sailing destinations.
The region combines natural beauty, clear deep-blue waters, traditional hospitality, and a highly-developed infrastructure for pleasure boats, as well as the characteristic Greek naval tradition, attracting both Greek and foreign visitors every year.
