Follow the path through old villages with views combining sea, mountain and local vegetation.
TENDER BOAT ADVENTURE:
You will take a tender-boat to a small beach away from the busy atmosphere of the island, a hidden little gem where you can relax and enjoy the sunshine. The tender boats will be available at anytime during this activity for those who want to explore the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea and dive in for snorkeling or simply just enjoy some time on the tender-boat somewhere in the middle of the peaceful sea. You will be shown how to drive the tender-boat, accompanied by the captain at all times. Lunch will be provided.
Other Additional Activities That May Be Added:

Built in traditional Cycladic style, with whitewashed walls and blue window shields and doors, the Paraskevo’s residence is a must see for all visitors of the island. As you arrive, you will be welcomed with a traditional Greek sweet (but from back in the days) and a delicious glass of rakki, both part of the Greek way of welcoming guests in one’s house.
