The Aegean Sea is home to some of the most enchanting islands in the world—but few can rival the raw beauty and charm of Paros and Antiparos. Nestled in the heart of the Cyclades, these two gems are best explored not by land, but by sea.
At CV Cruises, we invite you to experience the magic of these islands the way it was meant to be seen: from the deck of a boat, with the wind in your hair, and the sun on your skin.
Your Day Begins in Paros
We start our day from the picturesque port of Naoussa or Parikia, depending on your cruise plan. As the boat sets sail, you’ll immediately feel the hustle of the mainland fade into the horizon. The views of traditional whitewashed houses, rolling hills, and rocky coastlines create a postcard-perfect backdrop.
Our first stop? A secluded cove only accessible by boat—Kolymbithres or Monastiri Beach—where you can swim in translucent waters and relax under the Cycladic sun.
Cruising to Antiparos: Where Time Stands Still
As we sail toward Antiparos, the sea shimmers in shades of blue and turquoise. This lesser-known island is famous for its laid-back vibe and untouched natural beauty. Along the way, we may anchor near Despotiko, a small uninhabited island with rich archaeological significance and stunning snorkeling spots.
You’ll have time to swim, explore sea caves, or paddleboard in some of the clearest waters in the Aegean. Keep an eye out—you might even spot dolphins or sea turtles!
Lunch On Board or in a Local Taverna
Depending on your cruise package, enjoy a freshly prepared Greek lunch onboard, featuring local ingredients and Mediterranean flavors. Alternatively, we may stop at a small seaside taverna in Antiparos for a traditional island meal—grilled octopus, fresh salads, and a glass of ouzo or local wine.
The Return: A Sunset to Remember
On our way back to Paros, the light begins to soften and the Cycladic sunset paints the sky. It’s the perfect time for a final swim or simply to lie back and soak in the tranquility.
With music playing softly and a cool drink in hand, you’ll understand why so many of our guests call this the highlight of their holiday.
