Spend a wonderful day sailing aboard a modern catamaran, discovering the most beautiful spots around Naxos and the small Cyclades, visiting gems like Koufonissi, Iraklia, and Schoinoussa. You'll discover secret bays, pristine beaches, and coves with crystal-clear water! Our Sailing Experience will let you discover the best of the islands around Naxos, exploring little-known bays and caves of rare beauty, far from the stress of crowded ferries and overcrowded beaches.
Your day begins with a long sail south of Naxos, where the island offers shelter from the winds. Your first stop will be for a swim in the beautiful bay of Iraklia, where you can snorkel and admire... a WWII warplane! You'll then set sail for a true paradise on earth, Koufonissi! Another stop will be for a swim, and our included lunch will be served. Upon docking at Koufonissi, you'll have about an hour to explore the main village of this beautiful island or simply relax on one of the many beaches near the port.
As you depart for Naxos, another important stop awaits: Rina Cave. Considered one of Naxos's most beautiful attractions, the cave is located in the Kalandos area, on the island's southern coast. We'll drop anchor here so you can swim inside the cave and explore the rich seabed. Alternatively, you can also reach the top of the cave and dive into the crystal-clear waters.
Our next stop is around the southern tip of Naxos: Alyko. This spectacular beach offers clear waters perfect for snorkeling with the equipment provided on board. The sea's hues in this part of the island are exceptional. You'll arrive at the port of Naxos by 7:00 PM, just before sunset!
