Review of Naxos’ small-group sailing trip to Rina Cave and the Small Cyclades, with lunch, snorkeling, drinks, and practical booking advice.

“Wow - what an amazing day! The absolute highlight of our time in Naxos. The boat is absolutely amazing, and we got lucky that we were the only ones aboard this day so we practically enjoyed a private charter above a beautiful sailboat! The captain and crew helper were both fantastic and really contributed to the day being amazing, even being able to navigate to avoid some of the bigger waves on this particular windy day. If you have the chance to come on this tour please don’t hesitate one bit! Compared to the bigger boat tours that cost 90euros, spend a little more and have a much better experience…”
