Amazing trip on the sunset cruise!! We loved everyone second…..the crew were very attentive and always asking if we wanted a drink ect. Especially Alex he was great fun! Had a great time with just a small amount of other couples and singles. The food was freshly cooked on the boat with dessert to finish. Would highly recommend!
We did the sunset cruise and only just got back...I feel like I had to leave this review straight away! The atmosphere was awesome, even down to asking us what music we wanted on the boat! The scenery was epic and they kept us informed of the history of the island throughout our journey! Both Christos and Athena were approachable, friendly and helpful and we can't recommend them enough! If you're in Santorini then you have to join one of their cruises!
Highly recommend! We did the half day sunset cruise. The boat was spacious and very comfortable for our family of 6, the crew was very kind and accommodating, the food outstanding, and of course the views were spectacular. They even arranged to have a cake for our son's birthday. If you're considering booking, you won't regret it.
Exceptional hospitality, attention to detail, and luxury treatment. Athena the boat owner, speaks great English, is extremely knowledgeable of Santorini, its history, the various landmarks and volcano. She made us a beyond wonderful dinner, cooked fresh on the boat as we drank wine from the grapes on her property. She grew all of the vegetables she cooked and was very patient listening to us and coming up with a great meal-despite how finicky we are. There was everything we could have wanted to drink from water, soft drinks, juice, beer, wine or cocktails. The boat is captained by her husband and he was a great driver. Both practiced Covid precautions . We stopped and got to swim on Black, Red and White beaches, made a special stop so we could swim to a pool inside a rock formation. The boat is beautiful, and our comfort is their top concern. The private tour customized for us was wonderful. I can not detail just how nice every moment was-you won't be disappointed. It was a tour of a lifetime! We made good friends-and Athena has even prepared cooking videos to show me how to cook the wonderful meals she prepared-the food was that good!
This private sunset boat trip was by far the most brilliant, exceptional experience I have ever done. Starting off with how kind, friendly and welcoming the owners of the boat were. They went above and beyond to ensure we was happy at all times! Starting off with the most delicious fresh fruit platter and the most refreshing drinks, everything they did for us was to a brilliant standards. The boat trip was everything and more we was hoping for, the sea was so clear which meant we could swim so freely. We visited lots of different beautiful islands of which the owners knew everything about! We had a real insight into the history of Santorini. For our dinner we was provided with a delicious fresh Greek traditional dinner which we was highly impressed with. We had watched the sunset from various points of Oia however watching the sunset from the boat in the sea was an experience I’ll never forget, We managed to see it right down until the last point, it was beautiful and rich in colour which illuminated a path across the water. I would recommend this trip to absolutely anyone, it is worth every penny you will not be disappointed. It was also my birthday and the owners went out of their way to buy me a delicious birthday cake with personalised candles, we couldn’t have wished for a better experience.
What a experience, from start to finish it was amazing. A special thanks to Fitrou and christos for making you feel at home and comfortable from the get go, this experience wouldn’t be the same without them. I would recommend this to anyone. The food was second to none and was just as good as sitting in a restaurant!
My wife and I booked this cruise on the internet what a great find it was just right for us. Athena and Chris where really great hosts they took us to all the places listed on the itinerary and more they where friendly and helpful about all the places we wanted to visit being local to the island they new everything we needed to know about the islands history we had fantastic food all local produce and the sunset was awesome. Would definitely recommend this trip to anybody and all of our friends that are going to visit the island of Santorini
Se qualcosa a Santorini va fatta è questa! Il prezzo vale il doppio dell’esperienza! Christos e Athina sono le migliori guide e con il miglior yacht dell’isola! Abbiamo passato delle ore indimenticabili, come i Re del mondo! Il meglio del meglio! Top! Top! Top! Non esitate... meglio di tutte le altre escursioni!
Really nice experience. Glad we went with a private boat. They took us around the different islands including the old and new volcanos within the caldera, stopped off twice to get into the water, and had a nice cooked lunch. 5 hours was the perfect length of time. Out of the different boats we saw online Athena seemed the best value for money.
This is a phenomenal experience. We had such a great time. The hostess Athena and tha captain Christos are amazing, the views are amazing... They took pictures for us, had delicious meal and snacks,towels and everything else you could possibly need. They checked in many times to make sure everyone was comfortable with the boat, asked us when we wanted swimming stops in private spots, checked in to see what we wanted to do...definitely an experience you could not get from a large boat. I definitely recommend it!
This yacht is owned by a husband and wife team. Athena and Christos. They are very kind and honest people and they welcome you to their boat. They are very flexible and accommodating. Don’t hesitate to contact Athena and arrange the perfect experience. They live on the island year round and they know it well. Their rates are good also.
Athena and Xristos were amazing! Best private cruise we ever took! The boat is fantastic, and Athena and her husband are great! Could not have asked for better tour guides! Scenery was beautiful, swimming was great, and the food was out of this world! We would highly recommend them!
My husband and I took the 5-hour sunset cruise with Xristos and Athina. It was far greater than we could have imagined. As our trip began, we were treated to water and then delicious wine. Shortly after, Athina delivered a refreshing fresh fruit salad while we spent time at a black sand beach (don’t forget your swimsuits 😊). As our tour continued, Athina was knowledgeable about the geology of the volcanic islands and surrounding waters. Later, as we enjoyed the sun on the front of the boat, an incredibly delicious meal was prepared for us. The dishes were prepared from recipes of Athina’s grandmother. Xristos was an exceptional captain and timed the cruise perfectly so we could enjoy the tour as well as the beautiful sunset. This is definitely worth the cost over the mass-marketed tours. The memories made in this personalized tour are well worth the cost. We will be back!! PS. Do not make dinner reservations for after this tour.....there is no more room in your belly 😊
Best decision we made when we decided to book our cruise with Athena. Our hosts Athina & Xristos were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The sights were a completely different perspective of Santorini, the home cooking was fabulous and the sunset was spectacular! We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them!
What a great big thank you to Athena and Xristos for providing such an amazing day of sightseeing. Being on the ocean was such a great way to see Santorini. We had such a fun day and the food and drinks were just terrific. We got to stop and swim whenever we wanted to and nothing was too much for our hosts. Can’t recommend this enough.
Highly recommend this more intimate comfortable boat cruise,So much better having a small private tour than being on a bigger more crowded option! it was money very well spent. We had a wonderful day out on the water viewing all the famous beaches and sights of beautiful Santorini, Stopping whenever we wanted to go for a swim and to just take in the beautiful sights in our own time. Our hosts Athena and Xristo were really lovely and professional and were able to give us lots of interesting details and stories of the islands hidden treasures that you are only able to view while sea cruising. They provided us with a beautiful home cooked style lunch,snacks and any drinks we wanted. We will be back again in the future for sure!
