Before we set sail:
1.Do you offer boat tours to Koufonissi?
Thanks for asking, but we do not offer boat tours that go to Koufonissi.
Instead, we specialize in and are passionate about the stunning south coast of Naxos. We focus exclusively here for three key reasons:
- Local Expertise & Deep Roots: We know every hidden cove and beach in the South intimately because we grew up right here.
- Calm Waters: Southern Naxos is naturally protected from the strong summer "Meltemi" winds. Our journey is always peaceful, comfortable, and wave-free.
- Relaxing Flexibility: Our goal is to offer a unique, shorter sea experience that still leaves you plenty of time to explore the island's mountain villages the same day.
We believe focusing on the hidden gems of the South makes for a more authentic and enjoyable experience!
2.Why should I choose Panermos as the departure point for my sea excursion?
Panermos is located on the southernmost side of Naxos, right next door to the famous Rina Cave. Choosing this location offers four key benefits for you:
- Quick Access: We are very close to our destination. We reach Rina Cave quickly, giving you more time for swimming and relaxing, while keeping the overall excursion short (just 2 hours).
- Always Calm Waters: The south coast is naturally protected from the strong summer "Meltemi" winds. You will enjoy the journey in peaceful, quiet seas, without big waves.
- Authentic Naxos Experience: The drive to Panermos takes you through beautiful landscapes and sights. A visit here is the perfect excuse for a full day exploring the island.
- Discover the Untouched Side: The southeastern coasts are the most pristine and quiet parts of Naxos.
By visiting Panermos, you truly get to see the real, authentic soul of the island!
3.Do I have to book in advance?
Yes, we highly recommend it!
The reason is simple:
getting to Panermos requires a bit of driving, and it would be a shame for you to arrive all the way here only to find we are fully booked.
How to Book Your Spot:
You can easily secure your spot via our book now page.
We do not require an advance deposit. We simply trust that you will kindly notify us promptly if your plans change.
Payment is accepted by card or cash right at the dock, just before the departure time.
We look forward to seeing you in Panermos!.
The Team
We are Gialitissa Boat Trips, a small family business located in Panermos, Naxos.
