Spend a carefree day under the sun and on the sea, exploring the most iconic and unspoiled beaches of Karpathos—only accessible by boat. On this full-day cruise you’ll visit stunning locations including Hai Beach or Agios Ioannis, Apella, Kyra Panagia, Kato Lakko, and Achata.
These beaches are famous not only for their crystal-clear waters and dramatic natural surroundings, but also for their tranquility, untouched charm, and unique rock formations. Most of them cannot be reached by road, making this a rare chance to discover the wild beauty of Karpathos in comfort.
This tour is perfect for beach lovers, photography enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to experience the best Karpathos has to offer by sea.
Arrive at the port early to check in, meet the crew, and board the boat. Please have your confirmation email on your phone or a printed copy along with a valid photo identification for each participant on your order for verification.
Set sail along the rugged eastern coastline of Karpathos, taking in the dramatic scenery as your beach adventure begins.
Your first swim stop is at this secluded and wild beach—accessible only by sea, Hai Beach. Famous among climbers for its towering cliffs, it’s also a peaceful place for a refreshing morning dip.
On some occasions the boat is not able to approach this beach due to weather conditions. In such cases the boat approaches the beach of Agios Ioannis close by, which offers more favorable conditions for everyone's safety during windy days.
The boat anchors at Apella, often named one of the best beaches in Greece. Spend several hours swimming, snorkeling, relaxing on the white-pebble shore, or simply taking in the postcard-perfect views.
This is an ideal time to enjoy a picnic-style lunch you brought along while soaking in the sun at Apella.
Reboard the boat and continue your journey northwards to the remote beach of Agios Ioannis.
Embark the boat for the return trip back to Pigadia, but this does not mean the fun is over, we're only half way through at this point! We slow start heading south towards Pigadia with close passes by the beaches of Kyra Panagia and Katto Lakko. Sometimes, weather and time permitting the captain will anchor at Kato Lakko for a short visit.
It's time to ready your camera's for the glory of Achata Beach. The captain will slow the boat down as we sail past the famous beach of Achata to allow for amazing close-up photos of the beach and the surrounding area. If the winds are favorable and if time permits, the captain will also make a short stop here for a quick swim.
The final close visit and possible stop weather and time permitting is Vrondi Cave, a popular cave to swim in and explore in the northern edge of Pigadia Bay. The captain will slow the boat down to allow for close up pictures and video and if the weather and schedule allow for it, a short stop for a quick swim will sometimes be made here.
Disembark with sun-kissed skin, salty hair, and unforgettable memories of Karpathos’ most stunning beaches.
