You push off from the marina and the island-scattered bay opens: turquoise shelves deepen to peacock blues, a thin wind lifts the boat’s spray, and the captain points toward a slit of sand framed by pine—your first stop. The four-hour Vourvourou cruise moves at a relaxed pace, hopping between Diaporos’s sheltered coves, the so-called Blue Lagoon, White Beach, Paradise Beach, Peristeri islet and Kryfto bay.

Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect skin from intense Mediterranean sun and avoid chemicals that harm seagrass and marine life.
Bring water shoes
Many landings are on pebbled or rocky shores; shoes make entering and exiting easier and protect feet.
Stabilize for snorkeling
Bring a small flotation device if you’re a weak swimmer; currents are usually mild but can surprise in channels.
Book morning or late afternoon
Early or late departures mean calmer seas, cooler temperatures and smaller crowds at prime coves.
