Santorini catamaran review covering swimming stops, Greek food, open bar, sunset views, transport, price, practical tips, and who should book.
“The crew was super friendly and made the trip so much fun!”
Cruise from Rhodes to colorful Symi, visit Panormitis Monastery, and enjoy four hours of free time for food, photos, and exploring.
“Manos Going offered a very nice, made easy trip to Symi island with plenty of free time to roam and explore. Transport to port was fast and comfortable, we got boarding passes to board Nikolaos X and trip to Symi went smoothly. If the day happens to be windy, the boat will rock quite a lot which can be a problem to those suffering from sea sickness. Nikolaos X itself was a comfortable and clean ship which made passage easy. Our trip back ran long, most likely due to the wind and the waves, but the bus transfer back to the hotels was waiting exactly where it was supposed to…”
Review of Rhodes to Lindos cruise with swims at Anthony Quinn Bay and Tsambika, three hours in Lindos, onboard bar, and practical tips.
“Excellent outfit, lots of room and good seats on the ship. Very friendly staff and especially the small dark haired girl behind the bar was excellent with the kids. Had a great trip, highly recommended.”
Review of the Mykonos Delos and Rhenia boat trip, with swimming, BBQ lunch, ruins, practical tips, costs, and honest advice.
“It was really fun and I love that the hosts provided a fun time with dancing at the end of the event. The food was really good other than the rice being unseasoned but I understand some people aren't too keen about seasoning but provided salt and pepper at least to make the rice enjoyable to eat! It was a beautiful weather for my wife and I to swim so definitely recommend!!!”
Review of the Balos and Gramvousa day trip from Chania, with boat transport, Venetian fortress, swimming stops, costs, crowds, and practical tips.
“Trip itself consists of picking up and out from the place near your hotel, giving you a ticket to the ferry (this is a public ferry, you can buy ticket yourself in Kissamos port), 2 hours in Balos and 2 hours on Gramvousa. The trip is worth the money as you don’t need to think about logistics and the ferry is big enough for all people (both organized groups and individual travelers). On our way to the port and back guides told us interesting facts about Crete and Greece. Overall, the guides were friendly too but this is not an excursion it’s rather an organized trip with a local person…”
Review of the Rethymno to Gramvousa and Balos Lagoon day trip, with boat cruise, swimming, castle views, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Notre guide Lazarus a été d'une très grande grande gentillesse tout au long de la journée. Une activité que je recommande pour voir une beauté de la nature autant Balos que Gramvousa. De plus, le prix de l'activité est vraiment correct. Ps: Lazarus if you see this "I'M A SURVIVOR" 😂”
A boat, a castle, a waterfall or a very long lunch.
