Private Small Cyclades Sailing Tour from Paros with Lunch

Overview

This private sailing day reserves a whole sailing boat for your group of up to ten guests. You leave Piso Livadi on the east coast of Paros at 09:30 with an experienced skipper and crew and sail to the Small Cyclades: Alimia bay on Iraklia, where a wartime seaplane rests on the seabed, then the quiet island of Schinoussa for a swim and a fresh lunch cooked on board with soft drinks, and finally a bay on the south side of Naxos for fruit and a last swim.

Important information

• The itinerary depends on the wind: the skipper may change stops or the route for safety, especially on strong meltemi days in July and August
• A sailing boat leans with the wind; if you are prone to seasickness, take your usual remedy before boarding
