Spend a private day sailing the Small Cyclades from Piso Livadi—snorkel a WWII plane wreck, swim in Agrilos Bay, explore Rina Cave, and watch for dolphins as you enjoy a freshly prepared onboard lunch.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Piso Livadi at first light, Aegean wind pushing a clean wake toward a string of low, sun-baked islands. Salt stings the eyes, gulls spy the deck, and the day opens into a succession of sheltered bays where water goes from pale turquoise to plate-glass blue.
