Two anchored swims in turquoise water, meze and ouzo at the first one

The experience

The boat leaves Kimolos and sails into the Aegean toward Polyaigos, where you'll anchor at the Blue Lagoon for your first swimming stop. Snorkeling equipment and SUP boards are aboard and ready to use. You can enter the water to explore the coastline, paddle out on a board, or stay on deck and watch the water change color as the light moves across it. At this stop, the crew serves traditional Greek meze (olives, cheese, bread, whatever the kitchen has prepared that morning) along with water, soft drinks, local beer, house wine, and a small pour of ouzo. The second swimming stop comes at Mersini Bay or another secluded anchorage the skipper picks based on the sea state. Fresh seasonal fruit comes out before the sail back to port.

The group stays under twelve people, which means no crowding on the boat and no queue to get into the water. A guide speaks English, French or Greek depending on the booking. You can book a morning departure from either Psathi or Pollonia, or an afternoon one from the same two ports. The choice is yours at checkout, and both follow the same route and stops. Port fees, fuel and all the gear are included in the price.
