The experience

The boat leaves Piso Livadi at 9:30 a.m. or in the afternoon, heading first to the Blue Lagoon. The shallow turquoise water between Paros and Antiparos that shifts color with the sun and sand beneath. You swim here, then move to two small islands where a chapel sits on one of them. Snorkeling is an option at both stops. The route also passes Faragas Bay and Pirates Bay, a hidden inlet named for the vessels that once sheltered there waiting to ambush passing ships.

The longest stop is at Tripiti Sea Caves and Beach. Greek mezedes (small plates), salads and drinks (both soft and alcoholic) are served here so you taste the Mediterranean flavors without leaving the boat or paying extra. The whole outing runs about five hours from start to return to port, which means you can book the morning slot and still have afternoon light for the town, or take the sunset departure if you've already spent the morning elsewhere on the island.
