The Mediterranean · GREECE BOAT TRIPS
Greece is more water than land once you leave Athens, and the good day almost always starts at a jetty. These 15 cover the caldera cruises, the Balos run out of Kissamos, the Dodecanese day boats and the Saronic islands, priced and honest about swimming time.
Review of Santorini’s volcanic islands cruise, with Nea Kameni hike, sulfur springs, Thirassia swim, caldera views, and optional Oia sunset.
“Atmosphere during the trip. Guys were amazing. Also they were very responsible during swimming.”
Cruise from Kissamos to Gramvousa and Balos Lagoon for castle views, emerald water, swimming, and a full day of Cretan coastal scenery.
“Perfect trip! Boat boardings and departures from Kissamos, Gramvousa and Balos were timely. We bought food on the boat which we all enjoyed. Plenty of seating in the cabin, if you want to sit upstairs on deck, you need plenty of time to be back first however, we would rather spend our time enjoying the beaches, lagoon and fortresses. Fabulous trip and well worth the money!”

Review of the Rhodes to Symi speedboat trip, with practical advice on timing, seating, costs, free time, food, beaches, and what to expect.
“Great day, I would say three hours is plenty as there isn’t much to explore on the island itself and no beach or anything. Really enjoyed this, the boat was great with lots of room and a reasonably priced bar (beer €4). The boat left promptly so don’t be late! So many cats if you are a feline friend 😊”

Speed from Rhodes to beautiful Symi, enjoy three hours ashore, and swim at Saint George’s Bay on this $69 boat trip.
“Great day out. Symi island is beautiful and so much to see. Have plenty to do in the three 3 hours your there. The Swim in Saint Georges Bay was fantastic, such calm water and they provide pool noodles for less confident swimmers or if you just want to kick back and relax. 10/10 for the money.”
Review of Agios Nikolaos boat trip to Spinalonga, with a swim at Kolokitha Bay, live guiding, history, food, and practical tips.

Enjoyed walking around the island and stepping back in history. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour.”

The crew was fantastic and the views from the catamaran were spectacular. Highly recommended!”
