During our 2021 trip to Naxos, Greece we took a Catamaran day trip. The catamaran took us around part of the western shore of Crete and also to a beach by Paxos. It was such a fun and also relaxing day at sea. We enjoyed snorkeling, swimming and just cruising along in the beautiful blue water. The crew were very knowledgeable and also capable. The boat was top notch. We were served snacks, drinks and also lunch all on board the catamaran. It was a bit windy the day we set sail but regardless it was fun. I personally think the Aegean Sea is such a beautiful blue and just love looking at it!!
Below are a few photos of this trip. All of our underwater photos were shot with the Olympus Tough TG-6 Underwater Camera. It also takes good regular photos, videos and is a very good addition to our photography items.
We sailed with Naxos Yachting and you can click on the link for more information. Highly recommend!! If you prefer you can book a Viator Catamaran tour here. or you can book a trip on GetYourGuide by clicking here. Viator and GetYourGuide have several choices depending on your preferences.
Conclusion
If you are in Naxos, Greece and have the time, I definitely suggest a Catamaran Day Trip in the Aegean Sea. We had a wonderful time and also found time to just sit and relax!

Looks “warm and inviting” considering the cure t weather outlook here.Currently one may not see blue water here, but if you stay outside long enough, one could turn blue. 😏😬❄️ Will you two be checking out the Okoboji winter games this coming week? jerry
I’m heading to Colorado to see my new Grandbaby this coming week! I’ll watch for your post though! Dreadful cold we are having! I have had enough of it!!!! Take care and stay warm!! Lori
Wow, amazing! Such beautiful photos ❣❣❣ I doubt I will ever get there, but I would love to visit. Instead, I look at photos and watch the travel channel! 😊😊
I love the travel channel!!! I could use some warm and sunny weather here in Iowa!!!
Yes, dreaming is a good thing! We are cold here (in the Soutwest), but you would laugh at us freezing in 60 degrees! 🤣
Let’s just say that I am excited it is 31F today!
Oh burr! Stay warm! 🌞🌞🌞
So much blue! It’s incredible that the water is so clear while snorkeling: the details of the rocks (and potential fish) are unbelievable. Looks like the Catamaran Day Trip was an active and fun one!
It was fun! I forgot to flip my camera to underwater mode so
The photos could have been better but I’m happy with the photos & memories.
That looks like a fun thing to do Lori. Were you the only passengers on the boat? Stay well. Allan
It was fun! There were about a dozen people on board. A nice size group from all over! Lori
Water’s gorgeous & ya’ll look like a great time personified, Lori! 😊
It was amazing!! Much better than our cold Iowa winter!!
Lol, know what you mean! Our Austin winter’s been a huge rollout coaster, hopefully won’t get a repeat of last year’s no-power winter, brrrrrr 😊 Wishing y’all a great springtime too!
😊
So so pretty, I love how turquoise the water is!
I love the colour is the water also. It is so very clear!
What a beautiful day, a boat trip in the sunshine is just what I need right now 🙂
Me too!!
Wow!!! Naxos, Greece looks beautiful, and the Aegean Sea by boat with snorkeling must have been amazing ~ thanks for sharing, Lori 🙂
We love the clear blue water! Great for swimming and snorkeling!
I’ve never been on a catamaran, but it looks like a lovely way to sightsee…
It was nice! Relaxing!
What a fun trip! But what amazes me every time I see pictures from and about Greece, is the blue of the sky!!! Does it ever getting another colour?🙂
Christie
It is usually this colour in the summer. We did have one stormy day where the skies were grey but still beautiful!
🙂🙂
Wow! So beautiful photos ! Hope your journey was exciting!thanks for sharing 👌☺💕
Thank you! It was a great trip!!
A catamaran adventure like this one reminds me that’s it’s rewarding to find enjoyment in doing things in travel with other people that I have some common interest with. Both of you seem to adapt well in this way.
We do enjoy this type of travel! Currently I am hiking and exploring Italy with 8 other women who have many common interests and I learn so much from others!
