What to expect
You'll board in either Taormina or Giardini Naxos and motor along a rocky coastline studded with sea caves and turquoise inlets. The crew will point out landmarks—the Bay of Naxos, Atlantis Bay, the various grottoes—whilst heading toward swimming stops in crystal water. You'll have time to float, snorkel or simply float with a drink in hand. Mid-tour, fresh fruit and a glass of prosecco arrive, along with almond paste, a chewy local sweet. The boat idles in shade where the waves are gentle enough for paddling or lounging on deck. If you've booked lunch, a proper meal replaces the snacks.
Good to know
The tour works for families with prams and infants (who must sit on laps). Bring sun cream and a light cover-up; shade is limited on deck. Water shoes help on boat decks and rocky entries. Public transport reaches the departure point easily. Groups larger than eight need advance notice but can be accommodated.
