The Experience

The catamaran leaves Paroikia in the morning and sails a round-trip route across three islands, stopping at the highlights of Paros before crossing to Antiparos and then Despotiko. You'll visit famous turquoise lagoons and smaller uninhabited islands where the only way in is by water—the kind of coves and bays that don't appear on the usual tourist map. Swimming stops are built into the day at spots where the water is clear enough to see the bottom, and snorkeling gear is on board if you want it.

Lunch happens mid-day and is made from authentic Greek products: fresh fruit, vegetables, local cheeses, and bread. The boat carries beer, wine, and cocktails, so you can order a drink while you're anchored in a secluded bay. After lunch, the sails go up again for the return journey back to Paroikia, timed to catch the sunset from the water. The whole day runs nine hours from pickup to drop-off.

The catamaran itself is air-conditioned, and beach towels are provided. WiFi is available on board if you need to stay connected. An English-speaking guide is with the group for the full day, and the boat carries a small enough passenger count that the experience stays personal despite the shared format.
