About
We sail from Piso Livadi towards South Naxos by 09:00, hoisting our sails and adjusting our course according to the prevailing winds we enjoy a scenic cruise of the Paros-Naxos strait with a welcome drink in hand while tasting baked snacks from the oven.
We first anchor in Rina Cave Naxos for getting the first taste of blue water while for the coming hours we circumnavigate Kato Koufonisi Island and anchor in selected spots for swimming. To fulfil the appetite that sea brings, in the right time we prepare and serve our delicious full lunch on deck being the complement of a unique experience followed by our special desert.
By 15:00 with sun still on top of skies we turn or bow to the west under sail enjoying relaxation and scenic coast breathtaking views. Weather permitting we sneak in a hidden marvel with one last stop by Naxos Southwest Coast where last swim in turquoise waters will be accompanied by fruit salad.
