Sail on Joanna K, a traditional wooden boat, from Naxos to the Small Cyclades and experience the majestic charm of a one-day cruise through the azure waters of Koufonissia and South Naxos.
Your journey begins at 9:30 from the small port of Agia Anna. Upon embarkation, enjoy a light breakfast featuring cheese pie, yogurt with homemade spoon sweets, cake, biscuits and your choice of filter coffee or juice for the children.
The first stop is the inhabited Kato Koufonissi at 11:30. Here, you can swim from the boat and explore the island. The crew provides snorkeling equipment, swimming goggles, and swimming spaghetti for kids. Beach towels are also provided. By the time you finish your swim, lunch will be ready! The menu includes kebabs, pork and chicken skewers, meatballs filled with cheese, rice, pasta salad, baked omelette, grilled vegetables, fresh salad, tzatziki and fresh bread. Complement your lunch with some wine or fresh juice.
At 13:00, the boat arrives at Ano Koufonissi. Here, you have the chance to explore the popular island. Visit nearby beaches, stroll to the island's capital (Hora), which is within walking distance from the port. The old port with traditional fishing boats is also worth a visit.
