Let’s go fishing in Antikythera fishing island
Our original fishing boat was custom built, hand crafted, made from Iroko wood, in the style of the traditional fishing boats that were used for many decades in the Mediterranean. The boat is a beauty to its captain and a trusty companion for many sea adventures!
Our 14,75 metre fishing boat departs at 8am from Kissamos port heading Northwest to reach Antikythera fishing island . Our experienced captain Mihalis, and his crew, will take you on a 5 hours boat trip until you reach the Antikythera island. On our way we may meet dolphins and the famous “Caretta-Caretta” turtles swimming in the blue waters of the Sea of Crete.
Before we get in the port and have a chance to explore the island, we will throw our nets and leave them in deep waters till next morning. We will then catch the fishes you are going to prepare and cook in a traditonal way under the guidance of our crew, using the longline technique. Freshly cooked meal on boat accompanied with traditonal music and complimentary local wine are the best rewards of your labor. Free afternoon to explore the island and accomodation on boat or in a rent room in Antikythera (depends on number of participants).
Early morning next day we are going to pull out our nets. You are welcome to help us empty the nets and feel the excitement a fisherman feels at the sight of a good catch! Satisfied and happy we start our trip back to Kissamos town. You will be back by 15:00.
