This unforgettable journey also includes a visit to the renowned Rina Sea Cave, a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.

    Departing from the charming pier of Agia Anna at 09:45, your day at sea begins with a delightful tasting of local Naxian graviera cheese (the indigenous gruyere), sun-ripened tomatoes, and freshly baked bread. As the sails catch the wind, unwind on deck and soak in the Aegean's endless blue.

    The first stop at Rina Cave awaits at 11:15, where the boat will anchor for 45 minutes. Take the opportunity to snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, swim into the cave's enchanting depths, or simply float in the serenity of this spectacular coastal hideaway.

    Continuing towards the unspoiled paradise of Kato Koufonissi, you will arrive at 12:30. This uninhabited island is home to some of the most stunning beaches, including the idyllic Nero Beach. Enjoy a refreshing swim or explore the serene coastline while the crew prepares a delicious barbecue feast with a variety of options, including vegetarian dishes, served on board.

    At 15:00, your journey continues to the charming Ano Koufonissi, where you will have 2 hours and 15 minutes to immerse yourself in the laid-back island atmosphere. Wander through the narrow alleys of Hora, the traditional town, relax on the golden sands, take a refreshing swim, or enjoy a delicious iced coffee at one of the seaside cafes. For those seeking more adventure, sea taxis are available to reach pristine, secluded beaches before returning in time for departure.

    As the cruise makes its way back to Agia Anna, unwind on the sundeck with a platter of fresh seasonal fruits and gentle melodies accompanying the sunset-lit sea. Arriving back at the port at 19:10, this journey promises a perfect blend of exploration, relaxation, and authentic Greek hospitality.

    Experience the magic of the Archipelagos aboard the "Michelle" wooden gullet, where every moment becomes a treasured memory.

    Εκπληκτική Ημερήσια Κρουαζιέρα

    August 7, 2024

    Περάσαμε υπέροχα στην ημερήσια κρουαζιέρα από Νάξο. Το προσωπικό ήταν εξαιρετικό και τα τοπία μαγευτικά. Οι στάσεις για κολύμπι και εξερεύνηση σπηλαίων ήταν το αποκορύφωμα της ημέρας μας. Συνιστούμε ανεπιφύλακτα!

    Super crew! Super day!

    August 5, 2024

    Amazing day out. Was the highlight of our vacation. We loved the barbecue and both Koufonisias. It felt so special to go the unhihabited island like we were real adventurers! The crew and the captain were so polite and knowledgeable when we had questions. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
