Planning Your Catamaran Day in Nafplio: What to Know Before You Sail

Thinking about a day at sea during your stay in Nafplio? Here’s what to know before you book, so you can choose the cruise that fits your plans.

Morning or sunset?

All cruises depart from the port in Nafplio’s Old Town. Most run as a morning cruise leaving at 10:00 or an afternoon cruise leaving around 16:00. The afternoon departure brings you back to Nafplio as the golden light reflects off the water, a lovely way to end the day.

Shared or private?

On a shared cruise you join a small group of other guests: a relaxed, sociable way to spend the day. A private cruise is reserved for you and your group only. And if you have something specific in mind, a tailor-made cruise lets us shape the day around you.

How long is a cruise?

Half-day cruises last about 4.5 hours, enough time for two or three swim stops and a meal on board. The full-day private cruise lasts about 8 hours and adds the boat-only beaches of Xiropigado to the route.

A note on the weather

The sea decides the route. Itineraries may be adjusted due to weather conditions, or on request, so that every swim stop is in calm, clear water.
