Sunset and BBQ Cruises in Latchi: Sizzle & Sail on Nafsika II
As the Mediterranean sun begins to warm Cyprus’s shores, Nafsika II is set to reignite your beloved traditions: Sunset and BBQ Cruises begin again this May, in addition to our morning and afternoon cruises that have already started.
Mark your calendars for May 2025, when we’ll once again set sail three times a day from Latchi Harbour, blending the smoky aroma of Cypriot souvla with golden sunsets, crystal-clear swims, and stories steeped in local lore. Whether you’re a returning guest or a first-time adventurer, here’s why this cruise is the ultimate way to welcome summer.
A Feast on the Water: Cypriot Flavours Under the Sun on our BBQ Cruises
At the heart of this cruise is our legendary Cypriot BBQ, a feast prepared fresh by our captain and crew as you swim, snorkel, or simply soak in the views. This year, we’ve added a special twist: a new herb marinade for our succulent pork souvla, inspired by a generations-old recipe from our village. The marinade, a fragrant blend of oregano, thyme, and citrus, slowly caramelizes over the grill, infusing every bite with the essence of Cyprus.
The BBQ Cruises Menu includes:
- Juicy chicken and pork souvla (marinated to perfection).
- Crisp village salad with ripe tomatoes and cucumbers.
- Warm bread, baked fresh every day.
- Local wine and juices are used to toast the sunset.
As you anchor at the Blue Lagoon, dine under the open sky. At the same time, the horizon transforms into a canvas of oranges and pinks. For dessert, savour seasonal fruits like sweet watermelon or juicy figs, depending on the day’s harvest.
Why May Is the Secret Season for BBQ Cruises
May is Cyprus’s best-kept secret. The island hums with the energy of approaching summer, yet the crowds of peak season haven’t arrived. Here’s why it’s the ideal time to set sail:
- Perfect Water Temperature: The Blue Lagoon’s turquoise waters are warm enough for swimming but still refreshing enough for a post-meal dip.
- Wildlife Encounters: Last May, guests spotted a playful pod of dolphins near the lagoon, a magical reminder of the Akamas Peninsula’s untamed beauty. While sightings aren’t guaranteed, the early season often brings surprises.
- Golden Hour Magic: The sun sets a little later in May, giving you ample time to enjoy the cruise’s highlights without rushing.
Nafsika II’s spacious top deck offers unobstructed views of the coastline, making it the perfect spot to capture photos of the shifting light or simply unwind with a drink in hand.
Pro tip: Enjoy your meal with a glass of local crisp white wine from the nearby vineyards, our crew’s top recommendation!
