  • L

    Liam

    Asked on June 24th, 2025

    Are the dates listed fixed as we arrive in Athens the evening of the 20 July. Is there an option to join the boat then/at a different location? I would also be interested to know if you do shorter trips, i.e. 5 nights or private tours (for two people).

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Explore!OperatorWritten June 2025

      Our Grecian adventure begins at 6pm at Athens International Airport (ATH). The latest your flight can arrive is 5.30pm, giving you time to clear the airport. We'll meet and travel as a group by bus to the port of Rafina or Marathon where we'll catch a ferry to the island of Evia. It is not possible to join this tour after this time as the boat will be out at sea, and the dates listed are all fixed and we do not offer private tours and the shortest tour we have in Greece is 8 days.

  • S

    Sean

    Asked on November 19th, 2024

    Do you have to be a good swimmer? I like the water but usually use a float/pool noodle to swim around.

    Tour Details
    • Explore!OperatorWritten November 2024

      You sort of sail out to a place and drop anchor and jump off or go down the ladder to swim. The boat has noodles, etc and I used one as sometimes it was a bit choppy. It is a small boat but the guide is fantastic as is the food on board.

    Shannon

    Asked on February 17th, 2024

    I just book for 2 in a cabin, but right now, my travel partner is to be determined. I am in between girlfriends, so I may have a partner or I may have to convert to single supplement, private cabin would that be a problem?

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      How many cabins are left?

    • Explore!OperatorWritten February 2024

      For this trip, there is only one single room available, this is due to a limited number of cabins available. So, at this stage we would only be able to confirm your booking on a twin share basis.

    • S

      Shannon

      TravelerWritten February 2024

      Could you possibly add them to a waiting list, in case you have a cancellation?

    • Explore!OperatorWritten February 2024

      Unfortunately it is not possible, we do not have a waiting list. This particular trip sells quite quickly, as there are only 8 cabins on the boat.
