★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 537 reviews · 9.5 hours · from $106Our pick

Full-day Naxos cruise from Agia Anna to Koufonisia with BBQ, local wine, snorkeling gear, and the Rina Cave swim.

“Best day we had in our whole trip to Greece! We went on the last trip of the season and the boat was still packed, so I can imagine it being a bit too busy during peak season / full capacity, but it wasn’t an issue for us in October. Our guide Polina was amazing, BBQ lunch was great, and the sights we stopped at were beautiful. Saw goats on the beach at the first stop, did the cliff jumping at the end, beautiful scenes and great vibe. Thanks for having us”

We had a full boat but still had plenty of room to move about and find a place to lay out. We had 3 different stops at Paros to swim around and the views were breathtaking! Thank you for this memory my husband and I now have together.”

Catamaran cruise near Naxos with swim and snorkel stops, Greek lunch, wine and drinks, plus sailing when wind is right.

“We went Oct 2nd and everything was amazing! We are always skeptical booking through an app we’ve never used before. However, we had an amazing time! The weather had strong winds so everyone on board agreed to do 2 stops but still enjoyed all the time spent out on the water! Coffee and cookies were offered at boarding. Small bruschetta snacks were offered at the first stop. Then, lunch was served after the second stop! We all enjoyed the meal with strangers and it was a lovely time connecting with everyone. I would highly recommend!! (Beer, wine and soft drinks were available as well - complimentary) The captain and assistant…”

Small Cyclades sailing from Naxos with wind-sheltered swim coves, snorkeling stops, and a full lunch plus drinks on a small boat.

“This sailing excursion was fantastic. We were a three generation package, I was with my wife, my two teenage daughters plus my 82 year old father and 72 year old aunt. We ALL had a great time that we will never forget. The highlights included swimming into a sea cave and exploring a very remote beach that our guides mentioned was a personal favorite of Tom Hanks. The crew kept us safe and healthy but also kept things fun. Beer, wine and quite good food (snacks and a meal) kept the day comfortable and happy. My only complaint is that the water was a bit cold but I can hardly…”

A 12-hour Naxos to Santorini boat day with a guided bus ride to Fira, free time to wander, and optional drinks onboard.

“the boat times were spot on. Boat crew was helpful. A bit of confusion getting onto the right bus. we were told a bus was English and French and then told we had to get off because that bus was reserved for a particular group. the next bus didn't have enough seats left and they had to quickly stop a departing bus so that we could get on. coming back to the port the passengers were all on time but the guide didn’t show up. We got back to the port late but the boat made up time and got us back on time. One personal note, we decided we…”

With only a few people on board, the trip felt private and exclusive, almost like having our own yacht. The food was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious, adding an authentic touch to the day. What impressed me the most was the crew, so kind and welcoming that they made me feel completely at home from the very first moment. This is an experience everyone should do at least once, and I honestly cannot rate it highly enough!!!”

14.Delos and Mykonos One Day Cruise from Naxos

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 19 reviews · 10 hours · from $82

One day cruise from Naxos to Delos and Mykonos, with 3 hours on Delos archaeology, 4 hours in Mykonos, and Aegean views.

“Une belle journée entre 2 îles. Départ de Naxos à 9h, escale à Paros quelques minutes plus tard (pour prendre des passagers) puis direction Delos. Une île chargée d’histoire et très belle à parcourir à condition que vous aimiez la mythologie. Vous y passerez 3h ( musée, puis balade sur l’île parmis les différents sites), avant d’en repartir vers 13h, direction Mykonos. Là aussi vous aurez une escale de 3h, une parenthèse assez rapide entre les moulins, la petite Venise, ces ruelles typiquement grecques et tous ces commerces. Une île qui vaut également le détour pour la journée ! 17h, l’heure de reprendre le bateau une dernière fois pour Naxos.”
