First swim stop of the day. The water is naturally enriched with sulphur, known for its skin-healing and therapeutic properties. Guests swim in the open sea where the sulphur springs meet the clear Ionian water.
45 minAdmission included - 2
Stop 2
One of the most photographed natural formations in Greece. Sunlight reflects off the white limestone seabed, turning the cave water electric blue, turquoise and violet. The Pirate Ship enters the largest cave subject to conditions.
30 min - 3
Navagio beach
The main highlight of the day. One of the most photographed beaches on Earth, accessible only by sea. The Pirate Ship approaches up close for an unforgettable view and photos from the deck.
