Itinerary

The experience begins at a designated meeting point in Paros, typically near Piso Livadi port, where guests board the catamaran and meet the crew before departure. Once underway, the vessel sails toward Paros and Antiparos’ most scenic coastal areas, with stops planned in sheltered bays and swimming locations depending on sea conditions.

Throughout the day, the catamaran anchors at several swimming spots where guests can swim, snorkel, or relax on deck while enjoying views of the surrounding islands. A highlight of the journey is the onboard BBQ lunch, served in a scenic bay setting. The cruise continues with additional stops for swimming and exploration before returning to the original departure point in the afternoon.

Who is this experience best for

This cruise is best suited for travelers who want a relaxed but active day on the water exploring Paros and Antiparos. It is ideal for couples, friends, and families who enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and scenic sailing, as well as those looking for a social but not overly crowded boat experience. It also suits visitors who prefer an all-in-one day at sea with meals included and minimal planning required.

Insider notes

Sea and wind conditions in the Cyclades can affect the exact route and swimming stops, and the skipper may adjust the itinerary for comfort and safety. Guests should bring swimwear, sunscreen, and a light cover-up for time on deck. The experience can feel more relaxed earlier in the season or during weekdays, when popular bays are less busy. During peak summer, some stops may be shared with other boats, though quieter coves are often chosen when possible.
