Description
Step aboard a traditional wooden boat for a full-day island-hopping adventure to Iraklia and Schinoussa, two of the most untouched gems in the Small Cyclades. Departing from Agia Anna port in Naxos, you'll cruise along the island's stunning west coast before reaching the crystal-clear waters of Alimia, where the first highlight awaits: a dive stop at the wreck of a World War II Arado AR196 seaplane, a rare underwater site that fascinates both history lovers and snorkelers.
The journey continues to Karvounolakos, a serene cove on Iraklia known for its emerald waters and rugged charm and, if you're lucky, you might spot a few free-roaming goats on the hills. At Fidou Beach, you'll enjoy a generous two-hour stop for swimming and a delicious BBQ lunch onboard featuring local delicacies, including vegetarian and vegan options, served with local wine, soft drinks, and water. The cruise also includes a visit to the picturesque port village of Agios Georgios, Iraklia's most popular beach, perfect for a swim or a relaxed stroll through its sleepy alleys and seaside caes.
