Day 2
Private Tour: Shipwreck & Blue Caves Skinari
Start with a about 1-hour trip by coach to Skinari harbor, on the north side of the island, where you’ll
board a small boat and watch the scenery slide past as your skipper whisks you away across the clear
blue water. Set in the cliffs below Cape Skinari are the Blue Caves, the striking rock formations where
the water reflects more shades of blue than an artist’ palette. You can’t go inside, but the boat will
make a brief stop nearby so that you can capture the colors on camera.
Your next destination is Shipwreck cove, the beautiful bay which is only accessible by sea. You’ll have
around an hour here to cool off in the super – clear water, swim to the beach and see the half-buried
shipwreck or just stay on deck and lap up the sunrays before the boat returns to Skinari and from there
back to the hotel.
Please Note: Docking and swimming is weather permitting.
