Itinerary
❤️ Morning Dip: Our first stop is the world-famous Anthony Quinn Bay. Known for its deep emerald waters and pine-tree backdrop, it’s the premier spot for snorkeling in the Dodecanese. Dive into the crystal-clear sea before the crowds arrive and see the vibrant marine life that made this bay a Hollywood favorite.
❤️ 3 Hours of Lindos Magic. As we glide into the bay, witness the most famous view in Greece: the white-washed houses of Lindos stacked beneath the 4,000-year-old Acropolis. ✦ The Acropolis: Hike to the ancient Temple of Athena for panoramic Aegean views. ✦ The Village: Wander through the labyrinth of white-washed houses that give Lindos its famous 'Santorini-style' charm. ✦ Direct Docking: We land you right at the heart of the village, giving you maximum time to explore.
❤️ Afternoon Relaxation: On our return leg, we drop anchor at the legendary Tsambika Beach. Famous for its 800-metres of fine golden sand and shallow turquoise water, it is the perfect place for a relaxing afternoon swim. The water here is always warm and calm, making it a favorite for all ages. We provide pool noodles and floats for a completely relaxing experience.

Super experience- great value and well run. Swimming in hard to reach but azure blue water was priceless. Lindos is beautiful and all the team on the Discovery were very professional- vessel in great shape too!
The trip was great. People was very helpful and polite. Thank you. Recommended. 🙏
The transfer from the hotel and back was very good. The buses were punctual and the drivers were very friendly. The staff on the boat was also great. I find the drinks and snacks a bit too expensive in my opinion. The restrooms on the boat are also very clean. The bays and Lindos are definitely worth seeing and must be experienced. The price-performance ratio is overall great and can be recommended. Best regards
The staff were so friendly and hotel pick up was on time and the driver was so friendly. Plenty of time to spend in Lindos and great swimming stops. Boat ride home was long but refreshments available
We absolutely loved every second of our boat trip to Lindos! Not only were we happy with the places we visited but the whole trip experience was incredible. The staff was so lovely and approaching, the boat was beautiful and the whole vibes of that day were something special. Lindos was nice but the whole boat trip with the swimming stops were something special and definitely highlighted our whole day. We would definitely do this tour again with the same crew!
We thoroughly enjoyed the trip Cruise staff were wonderful
Beautiful scenery and well organised. Very good value for money.
Prompt, Polite, friendly and excellent service. Highly recommended 👍👍
Gorgeous day trip to Lindos! Picked up from our hotel early morning and dropped off right by the boat. Nice calm and gentle journey to Lindos with 2 swim stops on the way, one at Anthony Quinn bay and then at Tsambika beach. We had a good couple of hours in Lindos which was stunning, it’s very steep more or less straight off the boat which i wasn’t prepared for. Take it gently. Take bottled water. We would definitely do this trip again. Such a gorgeous day, we even saw dolphins chasing the rip from the boat!
Nice Boat Tour. Online description is accurate. Enjoyed the outside chairs in the shade along the edge of the boat for our 4-hour round-trip cruise. I especially appreciated Ariana, the bartender. She was the sweetest person and made me feel very welcome on the ship. The prices at the bar were terrific. €1 water, €2.50 Hot Tea, €4 Wine. It's really nice to feel like the tour company you're with isn't trying to rip you off. The first 2 hours 9-11am are spent cruising south along the coast with beautiful views of the island. Takes about 20 min to hike up the hill to the Lindos Acropolis (but there are donkey rides if needed.) It takes another 10 min to walk to the cute town of Lindos for shopping and eating. It took me another 20 min to walk to St. Paul's Bay from there (which has a decent restaurant, Tambakio, overlooking the bay). Everyone had to be back on board by 2pm and cruised north. We stopped at Tsambika Bay and Anthony Quinn’s Bay for swimming. The water temp was perfect and snorkeling equipment was provided for free. What a very nice day. Only disappointments: Very Early pick-up at 7:50 for a 9am departure, but at least I got to the boat an hour early to get a good seat. Disappointing drop-off. They told everyone to follow certain people through town to walk to the bus, and I got lost since I was a solo traveler and didn't know who I was following. No one kept an eye on the people they were leading. I finally found my way back to the office and they basically just apologized and said I could wait for a ride. I chose to walk the 10 min back to my hotel even though I paid extra for a drop-off.
