Details
Off the southeastern coast of Cyprus, the village of Pernera in Famagusta offers a serene gateway to one of the island’s most inviting maritime experiences: the Dreamy Cruise with Larnaca Napa Sea Cruises. Boarding the Aerosa—a traditional wooden boat that balances classic design with modern comfort—guests embark on a 4-hour journey along the rugged and sun-bleached coastline. This isn’t just a boat ride; it’s a fully immersive maritime adventure framed by crystalline Mediterranean waters and historic seascapes.
Cyprus’s Famagusta district is renowned for its vibrant blue coves, submerged rock formations, and warm, clear waters that invite swimmers to dive in and savor the salty refreshment. Along the route, the cruise pauses for multiple swim stops, granting visitors ample time to snorkel or float beneath cliffs carved by centuries of waves. The shorelines near Pernera present striking geological contrasts—red sandstone meets white chalk bluffs, with scattered pine groves that scent the breeze.
The cruise also features visits to notable historical landmarks visible from the water, places that reveal Cyprus's layered past—byzantine chapels, old watchtowers, and small fishing harbors. What elevates this trip beyond a simple sightseeing voyage is the onboard Cypriot buffet: fresh local fare served amid the gentle sway of the boat, from grilled halloumi to freshly baked bread and ripe fruits.
Larnaca Napa Sea Cruises distinctively combines culture, leisure, and outdoor enjoyment into one accessible voyage, offering a uniquely Cypriot perspective on adventure. Whether you’re seeking a romantic outing, enriching family time, or peaceful relaxation away from crowded beaches, the Dreamy Cruise presents an unforgettable way to engage with Cyprus’s coastal heritage and natural beauty.

Bring swim gear and waterproof camera
Swim stops are a highlight; packing goggles or snorkels and a waterproof camera lets you capture underwater moments.
Arrive early for boarding
The Aerosa has limited capacity and is popular, so plan to arrive 15 minutes before departure to secure your spot.
Sun protection is a must
Cyprus sun can be intense; bring sunscreen, hat, and sunglasses to stay comfortable on deck during the cruise.
Motion sensitivity preparation
If prone to seasickness, consider medication or acupressure bands as the boat may encounter choppy conditions along the coast.
