The experience was fantastic. The staff were consistently friendly and courteous, and the ship was tidy and well-maintained. There was a variety of drinks and packaged snacks available, mostly savory but with some sweet options. While lunch was light, it was sufficient, especially if you had a big breakfast. At the first stop, you'll need to be able to swim, as the boat anchors a few meters from the shore. Consider bringing beach shoes, as the terrain can be rocky or have seaweed. The water is wonderful. A waterproof bag would be helpful if you plan to swim to shore and stay there instead of returning to the boat. The second stop takes you directly to the port. An umbrella might be useful if you prefer not to be in the sun or don’t want to spend the whole hour and a half at the beach bar. The beach is spectacular. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely do it again.

The whole trip was great, during the trip you got some information about the region. One stop was ideal for snorkeling, the other was at a beach with various bars and restaurants. Great value for money! There was lunch on the ship, which was included in the price, and you could buy drinks and coffee throughout the tour. There was also a toilet on board (typical ship toilet). The staff were also very nice. I was there at the end of September, I can imagine that it could get a bit crowded on board in midsummer. I can still highly recommend it 😊

Excellent experience as described, a very pleasant day in stunning places, friendly staff with everything accessible and organized. ***** to everyone.

Beautiful excursion in wonderful areas of the Halkidiki peninsula. Excellent lunch and impeccable service.

We really enjoyed everything, but the Ammouliani Island was our favorite.
