Set sail on a full-day cruise and uncover the untouched beauty of the Lesser Cyclades. Explore remote beaches, dive into pristine turquoise waters, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere onboard with refreshing drinks and traditional Greek snacks.
The cruise departs from Naxos marina at 09:30 a.m. and returns at 18:00 p.m., giving you a full day of exploration, swimming, and island-hopping. Depending on the weather, you will either cruise along the secluded southern coast of Naxos or head west towards Antiparos and its lesser-known shores. If you have a preferred route, feel free to discuss it with your captain before the departure.
Your first destination is Rina's Sea Cave, a dramatic natural spot about 45 minutes sailing from Naxos town. You will have the chance to swim inside the cave's crystal-clear waters or cliff-jump from above under the captain's guidance. You may also swim to the nearby rocky beach and take in the peaceful surroundings before returning to the boat for a refreshing drink and some snacks.
Next stop: Panermos beach this remote beach and ancient port at the southern tip of Naxos, is easily accessible by sea. After soaking in this stunning scenery, your journey continues to Ano Koufonissi, the best-known island in the Lesser Cyclades. You will have time to explore the village on foot and enjoy lunch at one of the traditional taverns. The captain will offer suggestions to make the most of your time ashore.
After lunch, it is time for Kato Koufonissi. Uninhabited and wild, this island offers some of the clearest waters in the Aegean. Depending on the wind, the captain will choose the most ideal side of the island for a final swim in complete serenity.
As you head back to Naxos, you will make a brief stop at Agios Sostis, a tiny chapel tucked away in a hidden cove. The captain will share with you the local legend that surrounds it - a story that can only be told when you are there. One last swimming stop awaits on a west coast beach of Naxos before you return to the marina, full of memories and salt on your skin.
Throughout the day, your captain will provide water, beer, wine, and light snacks made with local ingredients.
