What To Expect
Antiparos
Our 30-minute stop at the Mastichari Sea Caves, on the southern coast of Antiparos, is a highlight for those craving both beauty and adventure. For the more daring guests, this is the perfect chance to try cliff jumping into the deep, crystal-clear Aegean—an unforgettable adrenaline rush against a dramatic backdrop. These striking sea caves, naturally carved into the rocky coastline, also offer peaceful spots to swim, explore hidden inlets, or simply float beneath towering cliffs. Whether you're chasing thrills or just soaking in the scenery, this stop delivers an epic taste of Antiparos’ untamed side.
At Epitafios Beach in Antiparos, our 30-minute stop invites you to explore one of the island’s most peaceful and untouched coastal spots. Surrounded by dramatic rock formations and deep blue waters, Epitafios is known for its natural caves and striking geological beauty. Guests can swim through the crystal-clear sea, glide into small caves, or simply float and take in the raw, rugged charm of the landscape. It's a serene and scenic escape—ideal for a refreshing dip, unique photos, and a taste of Antiparos’ wild side before we continue our journey.

5.00Just book it now. I did tons and tons of research to find this affordable, family run, former fishing crew where Dad drives a very cool updated boat, Mom makes a truly amazing, healthy lunch and serves yummy drinks (great rose and peach tea), and the sons and family friend keep you safe and happy while allowing you to be you and have fun! We were so impressed and wanted to do it again the next day! We had to take a different route due to south winds but they found the coolest spots it didn’t matter at all. We loved it!!!! Thank you from the Chicago (kinda Greek) family with two boys. You all did SUCH a wonderful job! Great memories!!!

5.00This was a great tour! The family who runs it is so kind and truly just wants everyone to enjoy themselves. Each stop was better than the last and the guides were very informative. They provided pool noodles which was one of the best parts, along with snorkels which was great. We were served traditional Greek food for lunch which was homemade and delicious. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone in Paros!

5.00Such a great day out on the water. The family who run the business are amazing hosts and will do their upmost to ensure you have a great day. Perfect amount of time cruising and swimming in some stunning crystal blue spots around the island. The lunch was delicious too, and the fruit at the last stop a nice touch. We took our 10month old and the crew were very hospitable. Thanks for being amazing hosts.
