“It was a wonderful trip. The boat was very comfortable, the music was great. It was a well-organised very fun and very full tour. Hello-hellloooo...Kyriakos, the attendant, was the star of the boat and the trip. His narration was very humorous, his dancing was wonderful, he added great value to the tour. It was an unforgettable trip.”

3.Sea and Sun Island Day Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 399 reviews · 7 - 8 hours · from $56Best value

Sail from Skiathos on the Kalypso for 7 to 8 hours, stopping at Lalaria Beach, Kastro, a lunch and swim stop, and Tsougria Island. An English-speaking guide such as Tatiana or Demetra helps explain the route. Bring swimming shoes, cash, and a towel, and expect changes if wind or rough seas affect the north coast.

“Llaria beach was such a highlight, so beautiful and a must do if visiting skiathos. We stopped at two other locations which were very nice, the lunch stop had very little to do, it would have been nice to be somewhere that potentially had some nice walks, we did have a wander around but mainly ended up looking at peoples lovely houses.”
