The bow cuts through Aegean glass as the Cycladic wind pushes you away from Paros; salt spray sketches cool trails on your skin and the low islands ahead sit like weathered sculptures. On a private 7‑hour speedboat cruise you move fast between coves, plunge into clear-blue caverns and drop anchor off uninhabited Despotiko, where ruins slope toward a shallow bay.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply broad‑spectrum, reef‑safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply after swims to protect skin and marine life.
Wear water shoes
Rocky landings and slippery grottos are common—closed‑toe water shoes protect feet and improve traction.
Secure a dry bag
Keep phones, wallets and spare clothes in a dry bag; waves and quick transfers between boat and shore are frequent.
Plan for seasickness
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before departure and pick a seat near the center of the boat for less motion.
