Today we have a boat tour booked with Captain Ben, we had a quick breakfast at the resort then drove down to the port to meet that boat that comes from Antiparos. Antiparos is the island closest to Paros and you can take a car ferry across and drive around in the island. As there are many cliffs and places that need a boat to access, we decided TikTok hadn’t lead us astray and Captain Ben’s boat tour was needed!

We got on the boat and shown to the front of the boat where they have assigned spots for you.

Seeing it’s been windy we were going to follow the windy day charter. First stop was the Blue Lagoon located near an island between Paros & AntiParos. This was our first swim spot and our first chance to jump from the top of the boat. Katie stayed on board while I jumped off from the top.

Second stop was near the small caves on the Western side of AntiParos. This is where you can do some cliff jumping! Katie came in the water and filmed me jumping, of course I did my normal hesitation jitter before jumping off the cliff. After having a swim we went back on board and this is where they handed out the first glass of wine for the day.

Third stop was at Livadi Beach, we had the option to either take the small boat to the beach or swim. We both swam to the beach.
On the beach you could play games or lounge around. They gave us some wine, our first taste of Ouzo, (hell of spirit!) & some snacks like fresh Octopus they had drying out on the back of the boat!
We swam back to the boat to lunch being ready and Captain Ben handing out beers or wine!

Our next stop was the Sea Cave, Katie swam through the caves! This is also where Captain Ben started popping champagne from the boat while the crew handed out cups of Champagne to everyone in the water!

Last and final stop for the day was at Faneromeni Bay, the crew set up the slide in matter of no time and slide down into the water! Even Katie went down the slide… had to get video evidence to prove Katie did it!

As we sailed back to the port they put some dance music on and served wine & fruit.
Once we were back on land, we wanted to get a coffee. We found a bakery near our resort. Now I swear I said two flat whites, what I got was an ice coffee made from the most horrendous instant coffee, as I never heard the machine!
So we went back to where we got a coffee from the day before then back to the resort to relax.

Tonight’s dinner was to be a Greek delight, a Yiro from a local butcher shop. We took our Yiro’s down to a spot overlooking Paroikia town, after dinner we went for a walk along the waterfront.

We tried to go to Naousa to get a drink but this is where every man, his dog & the dog’s goat goes at night so parking was non existent unless you want to pay exuberant prices. So we went back to the resort to relax after a big day.Read more
