Private Cruise Antiparos & Caves Blue Lagoon OR Rina Cave & Small Cyclades

mportant Note:

This is a private cruise, but the final destination will be determined by the captain based on the weather and sea conditions on the day of your trip. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.

Guests do not choose between the two itineraries. We will sail to either the Antiparos area or the Small Cyclades (Rina Cave, Koufonisia, Iraklia, or Schinoussa), depending on the conditions at sea.

Antiparos & Cave Cruise

We meet at 08:00 aboard our luxury yacht ANNABELLA, in front of Café Rendezvous in Naxos Town, and return around 18:00. If the weather allows, we set sail toward the Antiparos and Paros island area.

As we cruise, keep an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, flying fish, or cormorants that often accompany us on our journey!

Our first stops include the turquoise waters of the Panteronissia islets and the impressive Holed Cave, both ideal for swimming and snorkeling. You'll discover vibrant marine life, corals, sea urchins, and more. We also take plenty of underwater photos for you to remember the day.

Later, we arrive at Piso Livadi in Paros, where you'll enjoy approximately 2 hours of free time. Explore the charming village of Marpissa, visit local museums, rent an ATV or car to discover Naoussa and Lefkes, enjoy lunch by the sea (not included), or simply relax on the nearby beaches.

At 15:30, we set sail back to Naxos, arriving around 17:00–18:00.

Rina Cave & Kalados Bay

If the southern route offers better conditions, we’ll head instead to the Rina Cave, an awe-inspiring coastal spot perfect for a refreshing swim and snorkeling. From there, we continue to Kalados Bay, a secluded beach paradise where you can walk barefoot on soft sand and swim in crystal-clear waters.

Here, you're welcomed by Dimitris and his family at their traditional seaside tavern. Relax with a drink, enjoy the view, and choose to have a freshly cooked lunch or BBQ (optional, not included) in a serene, authentic setting.

Small Cyclades (Iraklia, Schinoussa, Koufonisia)

If conditions are ideal to the east, we’ll explore the beautiful Small Cyclades.

1. Iraklia or Schinoussa:
2. Depending on the day, we may visit either of these tranquil islands. In Schinoussa, wander through the charming village, sample local fava, or even catch a local summer festival or the quirky donkey race.
3. If we visit Iraklia, enjoy marked hiking trails or explore the mysterious Cave of St. John before swimming at a nearby beach and having lunch by the sea.
4. Koufonisia Islands:
5. After a swim at Rina Cave, we may continue to Kato Koufonisi, a hidden paradise of sea caves and dramatic rock formations. Then we visit Pano Koufonisi, where you can stroll through picturesque streets, take photos of the island's famed fishing fleet, or relax on the sandy beach in front of the tavern while enjoying traditional Cycladic dishes.

On our return, we often include one last swim stop in a sheltered bay before arriving back in Naxos around 18:00.
