June BBQ is the Sweet Spot of Summer on Board Nafsika II
If Cyprus had a golden hour of the year, it would be a June BBQ. The heat isn’t full-throttle yet, the sea has warmed up just enough to give you a refreshing kick (without the arctic shock of April!), and the sunsets? Let’s just say they start flirting with perfection. That’s why we think June is the time to grab your sunnies, dust off your flip-flops, and let us take you on a BBQ cruise you won’t forget.
☀️ A Month Made for Cruising
Let’s be real — July and August might hog the spotlight when people think of summer holidays. But ask any local, any crew member who’s spent their life on these waves, and they’ll tell you: June is the insider’s month.
The sea’s calmer. The breeze is just enough to tousle your hair like a shampoo commercial. And the coast? It’s alive with colour — wild thyme on the cliffs, the odd sea turtle making a cheeky appearance, and the water… oh, the water. Blue, bold, and utterly irresistible.
No heatwaves. No crowds fighting over the best tanning spot. Just pure Mediterranean magic.
🍗 June BBQ with a View (and Then Some)
Let’s talk food. Because honestly, who doesn’t love the sound of a sizzling BBQ while the boat gently rocks beneath your feet?
Now, this isn’t your average hotdog-on-a-paper-plate affair. We’re talking classic Cypriot BBQ, grilled on board the Nafsika II as we cruise past the hidden gems of the Akamas. Expect juicy souvla (that’s meat cooked slow and smoky over coals — a national obsession), crisp salad, fresh bread, and all the trimmings. No buffet queues here — just good food, great company, and a view that makes your Instagram look like it belongs on a tourism board.
And yes, there’s wine. And juice. And enough cold drinks to keep you cool as you soak in the scenery.
🌊 It’s Not Just the Food, It’s the Vibe
Let’s not pretend it’s just about the BBQ. June evenings on the Nafsika II hit different. The sun dips slowly behind the cliffs of the Akamas, casting golden light across the water as the smell of charcoal and oregano drifts through the air.
You might catch someone jumping off the side for a swim, a group toasting to the good life at the back of the boat, or kids giggling as they slide down our inflatable water slide. (Yes, we have a water slide. Yes, grown-ups use it too.)
But the real magic? It’s the energy. The laid-back, barefoot, nothing-on-the-agenda-but-having-a-good-time vibe that hits the second you step on board. It’s laughter and stories. Sun-kissed cheeks and salty hair. The sound of the anchor dropping just as someone says,
“This is exactly what I needed.”
👋 June BBQ Hospitality That Feels Like Home
If you’ve cruised with us before, you already know: we don’t do “touristy.” We do warm welcomes, big smiles, and a whole lot of “help yourself” hospitality.
We’ve been doing this since 1982 — long before hashtags and online reviews were a thing — and the heart of what we do hasn’t changed. You’re not just a passenger. You’re a guest on our floating home.
Our crew are locals who know every cove, rock, and story along the Akamas coastline. They’ll tell you tales of old shipwrecks and secret beaches. They’ll serve your BBQ with a joke, a wink, and probably try to convince you to try seconds (or thirds). And they genuinely want you to have the time of your life.
Because that’s how we were raised. Because that’s what Captain Giangos started this all for. And because that’s what summer in Cyprus is all about.
