Highlights

While exploring the peaceful, unspoiled south east Naxos onboard with buru_boat we want you to know: The fresh fish we serve onboard isn't just “local.” It's personal. Every morning, we get our catch from Captain Dimitris (galanogiannis_boat), a fisherman who has worked hand in hand with us the last three years and without whose help and support serving fish onboard would not have been the same. No middlemen, no frozen shipments, just what the sea offers to Captain Dimitris that day, respectfully taken and lovingly prepared for you to enjoy on deck, surrounded by the same Cycladic waters it came from. Everything we cook and serve is bio, real, seasonal, and full of flavor. We hand harvest sea salt from the rocks near Panermos, gather wild capers and pick lemons and oranges from our family’s trees. We collect and dry oregano and other herbs and we produce and use only our own olive oil. Most of the things you taste, if not everything, are locally sourced. Savor the journey with us!

Itinerary

  1. From Panermos Bay, heading to the mystical Rina's Sea Cave, indulge in the finest authentic flavors with a Naxian private chef on board as you sail and explore South East Naxos like a local on a traditional wooden "Varkalas" boat. Every dish served is carefully crafted using fresh, locally sourced fish and ingredients, highlighting the flavors of Naxos. From expertly grilled seafood and seasonal vegetables to self harvested sea salt and capers, dining onboard offers the ultimate combination of savoring the sea, right on the sea.

  2. We'll cruise past and stop at a series of natural, secluded bays, rich with history and authentic Cycladic charm and we'll also anchor in Rina's cave beach, where you’ll have the opportunity to swim inside the cave, explore its hidden natural water springs, or dive off the cliffs. We provide snorkeling gear and swimming aids for all levels, so everyone can enjoy the water safely and comfortably.

    1 h

  3. After we visit the cave and enjoy a refreshing swim, we’ll anchor in a quiet bay picked depending on the weather and the wind of the day. It’s the perfect time to kick back, enjoy the seafood meal on board, and soak up the sun. No rush, just good food, good vibes, and a beautiful sea all around.

    1 h

  4. After swimming, exploring and eating we will head back to Panermos Bay.

About Naxos

Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades, mixes long sandy beaches, mountain villages, marble quarries and a Venetian old town.

Naxos Town, the island's capital, is a whitewashed port with a Venetian castle on the hill above and narrow lanes winding through its centre. Out on the harbour islet stands the Portara, a huge marble doorway, all that remains of an unfinished temple of Apollo begun in the sixth century BC. The island is greener than most of its neighbours, with fertile valleys, springs and the Cyclades' highest peak, Mount Zas.
