The experience

The boat leaves Pollonia at 09:00 and heads toward Kimolos and Polyaigos, stopping first at Mirsini for swimming in clear water. If you want to fish, rods and bait are available here. If you'd rather snorkel, masks and fins are provided. Either way, you can relax on board between swims and watch the volcanic coastline pass.

The second stop is Galazia Nera, where after swimming you'll eat pitarakia and ladenia: traditional island pies made to local recipes. The third stop depends on the weather: if conditions hold, the boat cruises around Polyaigos to explore its sea caves before swimming at Faros. If the sea roughens, you'll swim at Prassa Beach in Kimolos instead. Water and beer are on board throughout, and the boat has a shaded canopy, life jackets and a working WC.
