TOUR DESCRIPTION
Join us for a transformative 2-day spearfishing charter to Antikythera Island, setting sail from the picturesque ports of Chania. This exclusive journey covers a total of 100-120 nautical miles across the Aegean, offering a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the enthralling art of spearfishing amidst the timeless beauty of Antikythera.
For both novices and seasoned spearos, this retreat guarantees an immersive journey. Beginners will receive expert guidance from the region’s top freedivers and spearos, mastering various techniques that pave the way for their first successful catch. Meanwhile, they’ll witness advanced dives, gaining valuable insights into the artistry of spearfishing.
Advanced spearos, anticipate an unparalleled opportunity to explore one of Greece’s prime fishing spots. With a high probability of catching the fish of a lifetime, these crystal-clear waters promise unforgettable moments beneath the surface.
As the sun sets, your catch comes to life in a traditional taverna, where you’ll savor the freshest seafood prepared with local flair. Meanwhile, our seasoned crew, Panos and Minos, will unveil the art of consuming raw fish, using pure products and sea salt collected directly from the surrounding waters. This experience transcends fishing; it’s a seamless exploration of flavors, techniques, and the authentic spirit of the sea.
Yet, Antikythera is not just a spearo’s paradise; it’s a step back in time. Its wild, untouched beauty echoes Greece of 60 years ago, a time capsule away from the hustle of modern civilization. The quaint village of Potamos, with its traditional charm, welcomes you to experience the genuine hospitality of an era long past. Antikythera beckons—an authentic slice of Greek paradise waiting to be explored.
