Itinerary
Only reachable by boat Lalaria is listed among the most impressive beaches of Greece. A dream-like place of an incredible beauty with huge white cliffs rising out of the clear deep blue sea.
The ancient village of Kastro is located at the northern tip of the island of Skiathos and lies perched on a cliff overlooking the sea. Today, only the remains of the civilizations that lived here can be admired: as a drawbridge, churches, palaces, houses. Everything has been reconstructed where possible, to allow us to learn about the history and culture that together accompanied the village of Kastro, in history.

Great boat trip around the island. 1. The stop was Lalaria Beach. We were the first to arrive, which was advantageous. After that, we went back to Kastrobeach to swim; walking to the fortress is quite athletic at this time. The next stop is on the mainland for lunch. Unfortunately, the indicated tavern was a bit overwhelmed with the arriving guests. To conclude, we made another stop on the island of Tsougkrias for swimming. During the crossing, we also saw dolphins. Overall, it was a beautiful trip, with a clean boat and a nice team.
Boat trip to Lalaria + Mama Mia + Skopelos done twice because it was very enjoyable. Enchanting places that remain in the heart. Everything was organized perfectly with very kind staff.
Very nice trip Showed a lot of Skiathos and neighbouring islands and Greek mainland . 4 beach stops Bar and snacks on board
Not as noisy as some of the other boats.
Great trip but the mainland stop not so good. Restaurants mediocre. Beautiful beaches and blue seas. Good all round trip and staff on the Kalypso boat excellent. Bar a bit pricey on board.
Whilst island trips were ok, choice of restaurant on the island where we had lunch wasn't very good,basic food and bad service
No matter where you go by boat, Greece is beautiful. Captain and crew awesome - beach stops were amazing - food at local restaurant yum - well worth the $ and tip!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Sea and Sun Day Cruise from Skiathos, from the stunning beaches to the delicious local food. It’s wonderful that the captain and crew made the experience even better, and we’re glad it was well worth it! MTM Customer Support
Nice and friendly crew, had a lot of time to explore individually at different stops. Nicely structured, did not spend too much time traveling. The crew left earlier than discussed at all stops, at times even 10 minutes before (like 11.20am instead of 11.30am). We felt it was quite inconvenient, since there might have been some people still coming to the boat, but no one was left I guess.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the *Sea and Sun Day Cruise from Skiathos*, appreciated the friendly crew, and had plenty of time to explore the stops. We’re sorry for the early departures at some stops and understand how that could be inconvenient. Your comments will be taken under consideration to help improve timing for future guests.

Excursion of 5 September 2025 Despite the beautiful sunshine, the waves were far too great for the ship to sail north to Lalaria and Ketros. After more than an hour sailing for nothing to Lalaria and to undergo rather than relax, we were landed in Tsougrias for less than 40 min, time to get off and back to the boat to leave... And go to the mainland to Katigiorgis, still with big waves, where there was absolutely nothing to see or do. We had lunch there and that's all. The beach no interest and nothing to visit around. Before leaving, when I asked about the next destination, the answer was to wait to be in the boat to find out because the person did not know... We were told that we were going to Maratha beach, then we would return to Tsougrias where we had already been. For those who wanted to return to Skiathos, they offered to take the bus to Maratha but at our expense... again, 0 points! For professionals of navigation, conditions at sea are known long before leaving! Passengers were wet and, depending on the weight, could have fallen into the sea, and no lifejackets were offered at least to people who could not swim while the vessel was being manhandled by the waves. The only good thing was that the captain was piloting his boat despite the conditions. For us, we took the Bus option at our expense to stop the massacre and save our day. No entertainment on the boat, loud music, unnecessary risk taking, no serious plan B offered to customers, no refund or discount offered. At 90 euros for two people, that is unacceptable.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Please note that for safety reasons, the itinerary may need to be adjusted when sea conditions are challenging. The decision to avoid Lalaria and Ketros was made to ensure the safety of all passengers, as the waves were too high for safe navigation. Safety is always our top priority, and we regret that this impacted your planned route. We also want to clarify that on-board entertainment is limited to music, as no other activities are included. The captain carefully navigated the boat under difficult conditions, and life jackets are available for all passengers. In situations like this, alternative stops are sometimes necessary to ensure passenger safety, and unfortunately this meant visiting locations that were different from the original plan. We sincerely regret that the day did not meet your expectations and appreciate your feedback. Your comments will be shared with our team to help us improve communication and planning for future trips. MTM Customer Support
We had a great trip, exactly according to the itinerary. We arrived early (45 minutes) and were first in the queue, with the intention to choose our seat. We were however told a second boat would arrive and that we would need to wait for it as we booked indirectly via an agent Then everyone who booked their tickets directly with the boat beforehand was able to board the first boat. The second boat only had a guide speaking Romanian. Luckily we met a friendly Romanian man translated the main points for us. As said the trip itself was very good and worth the money. Just make sure you get a seat with a guide that speaks a language you understand.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the trip and found it worth the money. We appreciate your comments regarding boarding and guide language and will work to improve clarity for future guests. We hope to welcome you again. — MTM Travel & Tourism
