Later in the day, you will depart for a sea kayaking adventure to get the opportunity to take in some of the views of the islands horizon.

Day 3 - August 10th

After a delicious breakfast, you will depart for a hike to Aponisos Beach, one of the most beautiful and isolated beaches on the island. This seaside oasis offers a unique combination of colors that remind you of far away destinations. You will spend the majority of the day enjoying Aponisos, basking in the sun or enjoying water activities nearby.

DAY 4

Day 4 - August 11th

Enjoy a final breakfast before departing for a spectacular day on traditional wooden yacht tour around the island. You'll have the chance to explore more hidden beaches scattered around the coast while taking breaks to enjoy the sea and get a glimpse of life below the surface while scuba diving. In the afternoon you will enjoy a family style BBQ before transferring back to the port in the evening and departing to Athens via ferry.


The island cruise will be done on a 14mt wooden yacht named Astrolavos. Astrolavos was built in 1965 in one of the oldest shipyards in Perama by one of the most famous Greek ship builders - Manolis Psarros. Psarros' contribution to the development and preservation of the wooden boatbuilding tradition is enormous and highly regarded to this day.
