Private experiences (5)
Snorkeling in Naxos: private catamaran with lunchA private catamaran cruise around Naxos includes snorkeling equipment, a traditional lunch with local ingredients and Greek salad, cold drinks, beer, raki and wine. The boat stops at secluded beaches and the Cedar Forest of Alyko, where you swim and snorkel in clear water. An English-speaking guide leads the day, which runs five hours and suits all fitness levels.Is it for me?Book this if you have a free afternoon in Naxos and want to swim and snorkel without renting a car or navigating to a public beach—the catamaran picks the stops, the guide knows the water, and lunch is already waiting onboard.
Naxos Boat Cruise: Swim Rina's Cave, Eat Fresh FishA private boat cruise from Panermos Bay along the southeast coast of Naxos, with stops at secluded bays and Rina's Sea Cave for swimming, snorkeling and cliff diving. The catch of the day—grilled on deck—comes from Captain Dimitris, a fisherman who has worked with the boat for three years; every other ingredient, from sea salt to capers to olive oil, is harvested or produced by the crew. The cruise runs three hours and includes wine, snorkeling gear and a full seafood meal. Live guide in English or Greek.Is it for me?Book this if you want a private boat and a meal where every ingredient—down to the salt and oil—is local and traceable, and you have a free afternoon to spend on the water without a fixed schedule pushing you back to shore.
Private Sunset Catamaran Cruise Naxos: Dinner AfloatA private sunset catamaran cruise in Naxos departs Chora marina at 6pm and runs 2.5 hours, with the captain anchoring near Portara or Saint George Beach — two of the island's most famous sunset spots. Dinner is traditional Greek food made with local ingredients, served with Greek salad, chilled wine, beer and fresh fruit. The boat holds your group alone; a live guide speaks English and Greek.Is it for me?The 6pm departure and 2.5-hour duration fit an evening slot without claiming your whole day — book this if you want dinner and the sunset without an early start or a full afternoon commitment.
Learn to Sail Naxos: Luxury Yacht Lessons in the AegeanA full-day private sailing class aboard the luxury yacht Annabella departing from Naxos, where Captain George Fragiskos—with over 40 years of Mediterranean experience—teaches you steering, instrument navigation and sail trimming while the boat moves through the Cyclades to Blue Lagoon, Holed Cave and Piso Livadi. The itinerary stays flexible around your group's pace, and a maximum of 13 people keeps the deck uncrowded.Is it for me?Book this if your group is under 13 and you want to learn an actual skill—steering and navigating a real yacht—rather than ride along as passengers. The private boat and Captain George's four decades of experience mean you're getting hands-on instruction, not a tour with a sailing backdrop.
Private Sunset Sailing Cruise Naxos: Temple of ApolloA private sunset sailing cruise from Naxos Port to the Temple of Apollo (Portara) aboard the yacht ANNABELLA, with live guide commentary in English or Greek. The boat carries a maximum of seven people, departs at 18:00 and returns at 20:30. Local Naxian wine, homemade cheese pies, seasonal fruits and snorkeling gear are included; you can swim in the Aegean while anchored beneath the landmark.Is it for me?The guide speaks English or Greek, so you can follow the commentary and the history without a language barrier. If you're sailing with a cruise ship, provide your ship details at booking so the return time aligns with your re-boarding — the timing is planned around your departure.
Half day and longer (4)
Snorkeling in the Cyclades: catamaran with lunch & equipmentA seven-hour catamaran activity in the Cyclades where you swim and snorkel at secluded beaches and coves in the Aegean Sea. The boat carries a maximum of 26 guests, snorkeling equipment (mask, snorkel and fins) is provided for everyone, and an on-board traditional Greek lunch with local products, Greek salad, wine, beer and raki is included. The captain adjusts the route if weather demands it, and vegetarian or vegan meals are available on request.Is it for me?You navigate independently between snorkel stops and control your own pace and depth—choose this if you prefer self-directed water time over a guide pointing out sights.
Naxos or Paros: Catamaran Day Cruise with Lunch & DrinksYou’ll board a shared catamaran in Naxos and sail toward Paros or hidden coves nearby, stopping to swim and snorkel in clear Aegean waters. Enjoy a traditional lunch cooked onboard with local wine and beer as you relax under the sun. With friendly guides and plenty of time to soak up sea air, it’s the kind of day that lingers long after you’re back on land.Is it for me?Spend a full day sailing with meals and drinks included, sharing a catamaran with other guests while the crew handles all the details.
Koufonissia & Rina Cave cruise from Naxos: swim in three islandsA nine-hour cruise from Naxos aboard a traditional wooden boat visits three stops in the Small Cyclades: Kato Koufonissi for swimming and a Greek barbecue lunch, Ano Koufonissi for two hours to explore the village and hidden coves, and Rina Cave on Naxos's south coast for swimming inside the cave itself. The boat departs Agia Anna at 9:30 a.m. with a live English or Greek-speaking guide, snorkelling equipment, local wine, soft drinks and a vegan menu option all included; children from age one are welcome.Is it for me?You'll swim inside Rina Cave and spend unhurried time on Ano Koufonissi instead of catching glimpses from a crowded boat.
Delos and Mykonos Day Cruise: Archaeological Site TourA day cruise from Naxos visits Delos, an island archaeological site sacred to Apollo, with three hours to walk the ruins and temples; then sails to Mykonos for four hours to explore the town, Little Venice and the waterfront. The boat departs Naxos port and returns the same day. Delos entrance fee (12 euros per person) is separate; hotel pickup outside the main route incurs an extra charge quoted on request.Is it for me?If you speak English or another language and want the site explained as you walk, confirm the guide language when you book—the tour operates as a shared cruise with no narration unless a guide is assigned. If you prefer to explore Delos and Mykonos at your own pace without commentary, this cruise suits you as is.
