Adventure tips

Bring cash for taverna lunchesSome seaside restaurants accept only cash—carry euros for an unhurried meal ashore.

Use reef-safe sunscreenThe tour provides shade and bottled water, but reef-safe SPF protects both your skin and Posidonia seagrass.

Wear water shoesMany beach landings are pebbly or rocky—water shoes make entry and exits easier and safer.

Check the wind forecastNortherly winds can roughen the sea; confirm departure times if conditions look windy.

Recommended gear

Reef-safe sunscreen: Protects skin and marine habitats during extended sun exposure.
Water shoes: Useful for rocky beach landings and slippery boat ladders.
Light wind layer: Sea breezes can be cool in the morning and late afternoon.
Dry bag: Keeps phone, passport and camera dry during swims and transfers.
