We enjoyed a very relaxing day sailing from Naxos to Paros and return with Basti, Tina and Mia. As a group of four we had mixed experience with sailing, so preparation is important to understand the conditions, timing and approach needed when sailing in the open seas - flexibility with itineraries, to take into account the sea conditions, is important. We had some beautiful weather and seas, and saw dolphins and sea turtles on our way to Paros.
Basti and Tina were wonderful hosts and their hospitality and clear passion for sailing and the islands around Naxos was evident. Importantly, it was a very special sailing experience rather than a ‘ sightseeing’ experience (which may be important to understand and differentiate for first timers).
Our day with Bastien and Tina was absolutely fantastic! We were welcomed by Bastien and Tina and they took care of our family for the entire day. We were treated to a sailing adventure and ended up on the most spectacular secluded beach where we were able to swim around and explore. We were served a fresh and delicious Greek lunch on board. On our return trip we saw a dolphin - which we have been assured is very rare!! All in all it was a wonderful trip and we made some amazing memories.
The trip was incredible, we started exactly at 9am, the crew was kind, helpful, charming, and made us all feel at home (14 women lol). The boat is spacious and everything you could want to experience Greece on the water. Also the food was tasty and snacks were prepared with love. Highly recommend.
Thanks Nicos and Dimitris!
