Operated by Azul Cruises · Agia Anna, South Aegean
The bow parts a band of Aegean blue as you push off from Agia Anna’s small port and head south toward the low, sun-bleached islets of Koufonisia.
On deck the day opens with Naxian graviera cheese, ripe tomatoes and crusty island bread — a local welcome that shifts quickly into salt, sand and splash as the boat eases into Kato Koufonisi’s sandy bay for a two‑hour beach stop. Later, Ano Koufonisi offers narrow lanes, low stone houses and another relaxed two hours to walk, swim or sip at a seaside kafeneio.
Geologically these islets are late‑Miocene limestone and sand deposits shaped by wind and waves; Rina’s Cave is a collapsed, swim‑accessible grotto where light filters through holes in the roof and the water colors sharpen to turquoise. The crew serves a charcoal BBQ of local pork and poultry, salads dressed in regional olive oil, seasonal fruits and complimentary water, juices and wine — coffee is usually extra.
Practicalities: this is a long day (about 9–10 hours), with two scheduled beach breaks and open‑water snorkeling in a cave — basic swimming competence is recommended. Snorkel gear is provided free; bring a towel, reef‑safe sunscreen, a hat and a dry bag for phones. Seas can be calm or choppy; motion‑sickness prep and timing your arrival at Agia Anna to allow boarding 30 minutes early will make the day smoother. Expect a lively, social atmosphere: music, fresh food and frequent stops that balance exploration with straightforward, reliable island hospitality.
Yes — masks and snorkels are provided free of charge; fins availability varies so bring your own if you prefer a specific fit.
Water, soft drinks, juices and house wine are included; espresso and some alcoholic or specialty cocktails are typically extra for purchase.
Expect light walking: short distances between beaches, tavernas and the port in Ano Koufonisi — mostly flat, but some narrow lanes and stone paths.
The tour is family‑friendly and listed as physically easy, but non‑swimmers should use provided life jackets and stay with the group during swimming stops.
