Description
Koufonisia Islands boat cruise with barbecue presents the destination from the water and offers a different perspective.
Koufonisia Islands boat cruise with barbecue: experience overview
Cruise from Naxos to explore the untouched beaches and laidback charm of the Koufonisia islands. Cast off from Agia Anna Port and head along the bays on the east coast of Naxos until you reach Kato Koufonisi, an uninhabited island. After exploring the golden sands here, it’s time for lunch. Tuck into a tasty Greek barbecue with local wine flowing as you cruise along to the slightly more developed Ana Koufonisi. You’ll have two and a half hours here to swim, relax and wander into the village. Then, on your way back to Naxos you’ll drop anchor by a natural sea cave, Rinas Cave, where you can jump from the boat if you’re feeling brave, and swim and snorkel in the clear waters.
This makes the experience a useful option when planning time in Naxos. The exact duration can depend on the selected date, option or operating schedule. Routes, start times, inclusions and meeting arrangements may vary, so the current booking page should be treated as the final source of operational information.
