Turquoise swims, sea caves and quiet beaches are the focus, with a licensed captain on the helm throughout. 🔑 Key Details Duration: About four hours half day or about eight hours full day Meeting point: Alyki, Paros Skipper: Included; snorkelling gear and safety equipment on board Route: Blue Lagoon, Antiparos caves and cliffs, Despotiko temple ruins and beaches when conditions allow Group: Private charter for your party only 🌊 What to Expect You start at the port of Alyki with a short briefing, then head straight for the Blue Lagoon between Paros and Antiparos. The water here runs that bright turquoise you see in photos; most groups swim or snorkel while the crew keeps the boat steady and watches the channel traffic. Later stops follow the coastline of Antiparos for sea caves and cliffs to photograph from the deck or swim through when swell is calm. Full-day time allows Despotiko as well, including the ancient Temple of Apollo ruins and sandy coves that are only realistic by boat, with the captain adjusting the order if wind picks up. 📍 Location Alyki sits on the south coast of Paros, a working harbour village a short drive from Parikia and the main beach resorts. Departures are from the pontoon so the group is on open water within minutes instead of a long transfer from the north of the island. Antiparos and Despotiko lie east and south of Alyki across shallow and deeper channels. That geography is why the classic route packs the Blue Lagoon, cave scenery and island beaches into a half day, while a full day adds slower time at Despotiko without rushing back to port. ✅ Prerequisites No sailing experience is required because the captain handles navigation, anchoring and line handling. Guests should be happy on a moving deck, able to swim for optional dips, and ready for a short safety talk about ladders and life jackets before leaving the pontoon. Children are welcome when an adult in your group supervises them in the water and on deck. Share ages and any mobility needs at check-in so the crew can suggest the easiest boarding spot and jacket sizes before casting off. ⭐ Why Choose Us Routes follow real local knowledge rather than a fixed script, so the Blue Lagoon visit lands when light and wind cooperate and exposed cave mouths are skipped if chop makes them awkward. Captains know which Despotiko bays stay calm f… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Licensed skipper for the duration you book Safety equipment on board Fuel for the standard route Route planning and local knowledge Briefing before departure from Alyki ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point at Alyki Meals, drinks and snacks unless arranged separately Hotel pickup Gratuities for the crew Personal travel insurance ### Kit list Swimwear and a towel Sun cream, hat and sunglasses Light layers for the breeze underway Camera or phone in a dry bag Cash or card if you plan to stop for lunch ashore on full-day trips ## FAQs ### What is the difference between the half-day and full-day options? The half-day option runs for about four hours with your skipper and focuses on the core Paros and Antiparos highlights, including swimming in the Blue Lagoon when conditions allow. It suits guests who want a strong taste of the islands without spending the entire day at sea. The full-day option runs for about eight hours with the same private crew and boat, but adds extra coves, more time at each swim stop, and room for a lunch break ashore. Choose full day when you want a slower pace and more flexibility on the route. ### Where do we meet? You meet at our base in Alyki on the south coast of Paros. We send exact pontoon details after your booking is confirmed, including where to park if you are driving. Plan to arrive about fifteen minutes before departure so the skipper can stow bags, run through safety points, and leave on time for the best light and calmest water. ### Is transport to Alyki included? Transport from your hotel or villa to Alyki is not included in the price. Most guests drive, take a taxi, or use a local bus to the south of the island. If you need help estimating travel time from where you are staying, message us when you book and we can suggest realistic departure slots. ### What happens if the weather is bad? If wind or swell makes the planned route unsafe, the skipper postpones or adjusts the trip. You can move to the next suitable date or receive a full refund according to our weather policy. Light breeze or cloud often still allows great swimming; the decision is always made with safety first, and we explain options before you leave the dock. ### Can we choose the stops on the day? Yes, within what weather and time allow. Your skipper proposes a route based on your half-day or full-day booking and then fine-tunes it with you underway. Full-day bookings give the most flexibility for extra caves, Despotiko, or a longer lunch stop. Half-day bookings keep to the closest highlights so you are back on time. ### Is lunch included? Lunch is not included in the listed price. On full-day trips many groups stop at a beach taverna on Antiparos or Paros; you pay for meals and drinks directly at the venue. Feel free to bring snacks and water on board. We can suggest good lunch spots when we know your dietary preferences. ### How many people can join? Capacity depends on the boat assigned to your date, which we match to your group size when you book. Private tours are for your party only, not shared with other travellers. Tell us the number of adults and children when you enquire so we allocate a suitable hull with enough shaded seating and ladder access for swimming. ### Do I need sailing experience? No. A licensed skipper handles the helm, navigation and anchoring throughout. You relax, swim and take photos while the crew manages the boat. We still ask everyone to listen to the short safety briefing before departure, especially regarding life jackets for children and moving around on deck while underway. ### What should I bring? Bring swimwear, a towel, sun cream, a hat and sunglasses. A light layer helps when the breeze picks up underway between stops. Use a dry bag for phones and cameras, and wear soft-soled shoes that grip on deck. If you plan to eat ashore on a full-day trip, bring cash or a card for the taverna. ### Can children come on the private tour? Yes, when accompanied by a responsible adult in your group. Let us know ages when you book so we can confirm the best boat and life jacket sizes. Skippers choose calmer anchorages when young children are swimming, and they keep a watchful eye on boarding and getting off the boat at the pontoon in Alyki. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/12872d5b-074f-43a4-b760-5953628d212b/7a9c4156-7e8e-479e-932c-494dc5920349/original.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
