I recently took the one-day cruise from Pounta Port in Paros to Antiparos and Despotiko on a traditional boat, and overall, it was a good trip. The boat itself had a nice, authentic Greek feel, and sailing through the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean was absolutely beautiful, offering some great views.
We visited Antiparos and the uninhabited island of Despotiko, which combined lovely beaches with a bit of history, especially the ancient sanctuary on Despotiko. The crew was friendly and quite knowledgeable, which added to the experience.
However, the lunch they provided was tasty but didn’t have many options for vegetarians, which was a bit of a letdown.
Overall, I’d give this experience 4 stars. It’s a nice way to see some quieter spots of the Cyclades. Just be ready for a bit of a crowd, and if you have dietary restrictions, it might be a good idea to pack some extra snacks.
