“This is a great trip, I have done this twice before. It’s a full day! Starting early in the port, the sun is rising and everyone boards the large boat. We were sat for a while, but better to get there early and get a good seat. I recommend the right side of the boat, upstairs, under the canopy as it can get very hot when the sun is fully out. They don’t start serving coffees until the boat is on the move so get a coffee and bring it onboard! Maria the host is amazing. I am always so impressed when she speaks English, Greek, Italian, French and German…”
