Itinerary
Step aboard Agia Kali, a beautifully restored wooden kaiki, and experience the magic of the South Aegean on an intimate semi-private cruise limited to just 12–14 guests. Departing from Alyki Marina at 10:00, this handcrafted voyage blends the beauty of the sea, the warmth of Greek hospitality, and the joy of authentic island cuisine.
Glide across turquoise waters and discover hidden coves, dramatic sea caves, and pristine beaches accessible only by boat. Several swimming and snorkeling stops reveal the untouched landscapes of Antiparos and Despotiko, where shades of blue shift with every turn. The captain selects the best route each day based on weather, ensuring comfort, safety, and a truly unique experience. Our first stop will be Agios Nikolas, a charming chapel perched on a small island. Surrounded by rugged cliffs and pristine turquoise waters, this serene spot is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and capturing iconic views of the Cyclades’ natural beauty. Its peaceful atmosphere and striking setting make it an ideal introduction to the hidden gems along this southeastern coast. After your swim, enjoy a snack on board, savoring fresh local treats as you relax and take in the stunning surroundings.
Continue along the wild southeastern coast to admire dramatic rock formations. Savor the vibrant colors and awe-inspiring beauty of this imposing landscape, carved by centuries of wind and waves. Dive into the crystal-blue waters, feeling their cool embrace ripple around you as sunlight sparkles across the surface, revealing hidden coves and rocky underwater formations waiting to be explored. Afterward, relax on board or take the opportunity to snorkel among vibrant marine life, soaking in the serenity of this untouched stretch of coastline.
Our third stop will be at Tsimintiri Island, nestled between Despotiko and Antiparos, where the crystal-clear waters shift through mesmerizing shades of blue with every turn. This serene island offers pristine beaches and calm waters, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing amid its untouched natural beauty. The highlight of the cruise is a gourmet lunch freshly prepared on board — a feast of Greek flavors featuring dakos salad, mussels with feta and wine, and ouzo-saffron risotto, paired with fine beverages and followed by seasonal fruit. Each dish celebrates the region’s culinary heritage and the simple pleasure of sharing a meal at sea (indicative menu — subject to change). Throughout the day, enjoy the relaxed, family-like atmosphere created by the English-speaking crew, always attentive yet unobtrusive, ensuring a memorable and carefree experience.
Our last stop will be Panteronissi, also known as the Blue Lagoon, where the turquoise waters shimmer in a spectrum of blues, creating the sensation of an endless natural swimming pool. Surrounded by untouched coastline, this idyllic spot invites you to swim, snorkel, or simply float and soak in the serene beauty of the Aegean Sea. After your swim, enjoy a refreshing selection of fresh fruits on board, the perfect way to savor the flavors of the season while basking in the sun. As the kaiki returns to Alyki Marina around 16:30, you’ll carry with you more than just memories of the sea — you’ll have lived a day that captures the true essence of the Cyclades: sun, flavor, and heartfelt connection.

We had the absolute best time!!! They brought us between some of the most gorgeous swimming spots and made incredible lunch and snacks. There were unlimited drinks and so many lovely places on the boat to hang out and lay around (sunny and shaded spots!). We could not have asked for a better experience.
Best excursion I have ever been on 10/10! I loved going with a small group instead of a bunch of people. George and Yannis, the crew members were amazing. The scenery is so beautiful but the best part was the food, it was the best food we had on our trip. They also gave us beverages including my favorite, white wine. I already miss it and want to go back.
Thank you for your review! It was a pleasure to host you and we are very happy that you enjoyed your Gastronomy Experience so much. We hope you finished the day with some unforgettable memories.
This experience was incredible! Easily our favorite part of our Greece trip. Great food, unlimited beer/wine, nice boat, gorgeous views, and lots of swim spots.
Thank you for your review. It's great to hear you enjoyed yourselves so much. We hoped we helped you make some very special memories.
IT WAS AMAZING. Staff were extremely lovely, food was amazing, boat was great, and the whole trip was just extraordinary. Pickup made it all easier; we were put just right at our hotel on the way back. 100000/10.
Thank you for your review. It's great to hear you enjoed yourselves so much.
This was a truly wonderful experience. I booked this excursion for my wife and I on our trip to Paros, and it was the highlight of the island for us. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 people that had booked for the day, and the tour still ran, which kind of surprised us. At first we were a little concerned that it was going to be awkward, but it was not at all. The boat was staffed with a Captain, and a guide/chef. They are very good at giving us our privacy, and making sure we had everything we needed, without be intrusive. The stops we made were incredible, blue water, for some truly remarkable swimming/ snorkeling. There were plenty of drinks provided for us throughout the day. The real cherry on top of the tour, was the food. Throughout the day, we were provided snacks, at the different stops, but the lunch that was prepared for us fresh and hot on the boat was simply perfect. Our chef created several salads including a Dakos, that was the favourite of our whole 10 day trip in Greece. Along with the salads were a delicious eggplant dip, a seafood soup that was so tasty, and a ridiculously flavourful prawn risotto. I can’t say enough good things about not just the food, but the whole of this experience. 10/10 worth the cost, and recommend.
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed what we believe is a truly special day.
It was a beautiful day, the boat was loving and the 2 staff were friendly and the food was absolutely delicious and more than we could eat. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your review. We are flattered to hear it was the best part of your time in Paros.
We had a wonderful time! Some of the best food and views of the trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Thank you for taking the time and leave a review.
Two man crew were excellent. Very polite and friendly! Boat seemed older but was very comfortable for the ten passengers. The brunch was absolutely amazing. He just kept bringing it out. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your review! We are glad you a enjoyed your experience.
We had a fantastic day on the boat trip and couldn’t recommend it more highly. The boat itself was beautiful—a lovingly restored fishing boat that felt authentic and full of character. It was kept in immaculate condition and had plenty of space for all 12 of us to relax comfortably. What we particularly loved was the atmosphere. This is very much the opposite of a party boat: peaceful, relaxed, and unhurried. We visited some stunning spots with the clearest, most crystal-blue water we’ve ever seen. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was freshly prepared with care and served midway through the trip. There was plenty of it, and it felt genuinely authentic and homemade Greek food rather than standard tourist fare. Captain George and Yannis, who cooked and hosted, were wonderful. They were warm, respectful, and attentive without ever being intrusive. Their focus was simply on making sure everyone had a great time, and they struck that balance perfectly. A truly memorable day and one of the highlights of our trip.
Thank you for your review. We are thrilled you enjoyed your day!
