Practical information
The Lesser Cyclades or Small Cyclades is the name of a Greek island complex to the southeast of Naxos. This group is comprised of 32 islands and rocks, and it is emerging as a great and unique destination for those interested in the less-traveled Greek islands. Why? Well, this cluster of almost uninhabited Mediterranean islands is full of natural charm, crystal clear waters, impressive cliffs, and quaint towns with tavernas worth exploring.
Now, when you book your traditional boat cruise with BBQ lunch from Naxos, you're signing up for a very unique experience. You'll start this 10-hour day trip at the Agia Anna port, where you'll meet the captain and crew who will show you around during your journey. You'll board the 18-meter-long, traditional boat christened "Jason" (Iason in Greek) and immediately sail off toward your first destination: Kato Koufonissi.
After 1 hour and 45 minutes of sailing the gorgeous Aegean Sea, you'll get to dive into it! Your traditional boat cruise with BBQ lunch from Naxos stop for a swim or snorkel. Once you've had your fill, you'll reembark and eat a delicious Greek BBQ lunch that will include a typical Greek salad (tomato, potato, peper, and onion), tzatziki, fresh bread, fresh fruits, and pork or chicken skewers (soulaki); or, if you're vegan, the same salad, dolmadakia (vine leaves stuffed with rice), and butter beans. Both options will be accompanied by water, soft drinks, and local wine!
When you're fully fed, you'll continue this wonderful traditional boat cruise with a BBQ lunch from Naxos as you sail for 20 minutes toward Ano Koufonissi. This is a magnificent, small island full of stunning beaches and turquoise waters, as well as a small village, all of which you'll get to explore in the 2 and a half hours you'll spend there. You can enjoy a Greek coffee at a traditional café, or simply set up in the sand and enjoy the tranquil environment that this incredible Cycladic island offers.
Finally, you'll start making your way back to Naxos, but before this amazing traditional boat cruise with a BBQ lunch from Naxos is over, you'll make one last stop at the amazing natural wonder that is Rinas Cave! You'll get to jump from the boat or descend the side ladder and explore the inside of the cave, climb its rocks, and snorkel in its crystal clear waters. An unforgettable experience that, if you're lucky, will be closed by a dolphin sighting around the boat as you make your way back to the port.
With all this in mind, take your chance to participate in a unique, relaxing, and highly aesthetic activity as you book your traditional boat cruise with a BBQ lunch from Naxos. You'll create memories for a lifetime!
