Paros: Guletcruise naar Antiparos, Blue Lagoon en Despotiko 25 gasten
Beschrijving
Stap aan boord van de Galatea, een traditionele houten gulet, en geniet van een dagcruise naar de Blauwe Lagune, Antiparos en Despotiko. Met maximaal 25 gasten geniet u van een ontspannen sfeer, ver weg van de drukte, terwijl u over het kristalheldere water van de Egeïsche Zee vaart. Zwem en snorkel in prachtige turquoise baaien, waaronder de beroemde Blauwe Lagune. Bij Despotiko kunt u, afhankelijk van de zeeomstandigheden, een stop maken bij het kanaal van de Tempel van Apollo, de Witte Kliffen of het strand van Livadia. Geniet van vers bereide broodjes, een traditionele Griekse lunch met lokale ingrediënten en gratis frisdranken, wijn, bier en ouzo. Als het weer of de zeeomstandigheden ons beletten om in Zuid-Antiparos of Despotiko aan te leggen, bezoeken we in plaats daarvan de prachtige baaien van Agios Myronas en Agios Nikolaos, zodat u verzekerd bent van een veilige en onvergetelijke ervaring.

Was so fun and definitely worth the amount
Amazing boat tour! The highlight for us was definitely the Blue Lagoon—the water was unbelievably clear and beautiful. The crew was friendly, the food was delicious, and there were plenty of drinks throughout the trip. Everything was well organized, and we had a fantastic day. Highly recommend!
We spent an absolutely wonderful day aboard this boat, exploring the wonders between Paros, Despotiko, and the Blue Lagoon. The landscapes and the colors of the water are breathtaking, but what made everything truly special was the staff. Everything was handled impeccably by Davide. From the very first contact, his organization was precise, punctual, and flawless. It is thanks to his work behind the scenes that everything runs so smoothly and pleasantly! Captain Giannis is excellent, extremely professional, experienced, and always attentive to everyone's safety and comfort. A special round of applause goes to Giuseppe, the deckhand: besides being a handsome guy, he is uniquely kind. He pampered all the guests from start to finish with his contagious smile! It was not the usual "hit-and-run" tourist trip. We greatly appreciated the attention to detail and the in-depth explanation of every place visited. It was fascinating to discover the history and secrets of these islands. The food is simply fantastic and super abundant! Delicious dishes, fresh and prepared with care, perfect for recharging your energy between one swim and another. If you are in Paros, this tour is an absolutely mandatory stop. Excellent value for money and a warm welcome that makes you feel at home. Highly recommended 100%! Thanks again to Davide, Giuseppe, and Captain Giannis for this memorable day!
A wonderful experience from start to finish. The owner was super helpful. The crew was incredibly close and attentive throughout the trip. The captain was truly competent, and despite the weather not being the best for one particular beach, he took us on an extra stop at a wonderful uninhabited island with a small church that we were able to visit...it felt like being in Indiana Jones. The boat is a wooden schooner with an almost pirate-like charm, yet with all the comforts. The food was superb, and the open bar with ouzo at the end made the expectation of a normal boat trip more than worthwhile, making it perhaps the most beautiful experience I've had in Greece
The boat tour, the wonderful islands, such as the breathtaking Blue Lagoon, Despotiko, and Antiparos, the staff, and the abundant and delicious food made this experience unique and memorable. Captain Yannis and Giuseppe were exceptional: attentive to our every need, friendly, and very nice. Thanks also to Davide, who, if we hadn't met him by chance at the Italian café, we wouldn't have taken this boat tour, which is not the usual tourist trip: the visit to the island of San Nicola with the little church at the top is a "gem" not to be missed. Furthermore, the tour is limited to a small number of guests, thus ensuring space and tranquility, far from crowded tours.
Unforgettable day with a dream sea, excellent food, and super staff! We had a truly fantastic experience with this one-day boat excursion. The stop at the Blue Lagoon of Antiparos is breathtaking: a true paradise with water so crystal clear that it looked like a swimming pool. Two elements made the day truly memorable: Super staff; the guys on board were exceptional, extremely welcoming, friendly, and attentive to our every need. They made us feel at home from the first to the last minute. Superb food; we ate very well on board, with fresh, abundant, and high-quality dishes that far exceeded the expectations of a classic boat lunch. Impeccable organization, perfect stops, and a relaxing and fun atmosphere. Highly recommended to anyone in the area looking for a day of pure relaxation and wonder.
I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but I felt this experience deserved one. I booked this tour after reading a mix of positive and negative reviews and thought, “Maybe the bad reviews were just isolated complaints.” Unfortunately, they turned out to be accurate. We left later than scheduled because we were waiting for additional passengers, which wasn’t a major issue. The captain assured everyone that we would make up the time later so we could still visit all of the locations listed in the itinerary. Before we even left the dock, however, the captain and both crew members began smoking cigarettes. They continued chain-smoking throughout the entire tour. While I understand smoking is more common in Europe, this was a tourist excursion with children and pregnant women on board. It was uncomfortable because no matter where you went on the boat, a crew member was smoking. Many guests were quietly expressing the same concerns to one another. The tour lasted about nine hours, but we only had approximately 45 minutes of swimming time total, split across three stops. We never made the fourth scheduled stop due to the weather, which is understandable, but no one explained what was happening. In fact, there was virtually no communication throughout the day. There was no information about where we were, what we were seeing, where we were headed next, or why the itinerary had changed. The crew made very little effort to engage with or inform the guests. At one point, the crew lost the anchor, and we spent roughly 30 minutes drifting while they searched for it, further extending the already long day. While unexpected issues can happen, there was no communication or reassurance from the crew, making the experience feel disorganized and poorly managed. Overall, I cannot recommend this tour. There are plenty of other boat tours in Paros that are likely to provide a much better experience.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that the day did not meet your expectations, but we would like to clarify a few points mentioned in your review. The itinerary was followed in the exact order described in the tour you purchased. Each stop was explained during the initial safety briefing and again before arriving at every location. We always do our best to keep our guests informed, but we also ask for a little attention during the briefings. Our departure was delayed by just 13 minutes while waiting for four guests who, like everyone else on board, had paid for the tour. We believe it is only fair to give every guest a reasonable opportunity to join the excursion. We were also surprised to read that you claim there were only 45 minutes of swimming time throughout the entire day. Each swimming stop lasted approximately one hour, while the lunch stop lasted around one and a half hours. If we had really stopped for only 45 minutes in total, it would mean we had spent more than seven and a half hours continuously sailing—which is clearly not what happened. Regarding the anchor incident, it was caused by a defective marine shackle, an unexpected technical issue that can occasionally occur. Our crew handled the situation quickly and professionally, resolving the problem safely and allowing the tour to continue without further issues. Regarding the smoking, however, we do accept your feedback. I will personally address this with the crew to ensure greater attention is paid to this matter in the future. While this is an extremely demanding job and the crew sometimes looks for a brief moment to relax, we fully understand that our guests' comfort must always come first. What also stands out to us is that your review contains no mention of the beautiful places visited, the crystal-clear waters, the lunch served on board, or any positive aspect of the day. Instead, it focuses exclusively on the elements you perceived as negative. This gives us the impression that the entire experience was viewed through the lens of an unfortunate mood, rather than as a whole. Of course, we understand that not every guest will have the same experience. Some enjoy the day more than others. However, there were 23 guests on board that day, and you were the only two who expressed such a negative opinion. We fully respect your perspective, but we believe this is also something future guests may wish to take into consideration. We always welcome constructive feedback because it helps us improve. At the same time, we believe it is important that reviews present a complete and accurate account of what actually happened.

Great experience, very sweet team. Amazing landscape. Do not miss it!
We did a boat tour on another island and compared to that, this tour left us disappointed. But our crew was very kind and we made friends with the other travelers on the boat and even met up with them for dinner after. Food is basic, but tastes good. Boat has great places to lay down. you will spend most of the day cruising to each of the three swimming spots, less time in the water (getting in the water was hard at all locations because the waves made it hard to stay by the boat )
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry that our cruise did not match the experience you had on another island. Every operator offers a different type of excursion, and our goal has never been to provide a fast-paced or crowded party boat. Instead, we offer a relaxing cruise with a small number of guests, allowing everyone to enjoy the sea at a slower, more peaceful pace. We're pleased to hear that you appreciated our crew, enjoyed the food, found the boat comfortable, and even made new friends on board. Creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere is something we're very proud of. We would also like to clarify one important point. You mentioned that most of the day was spent cruising and very little time in the water. In reality, our itinerary includes three swimming stops: two stops of approximately **one hour each** and a **one-and-a-half-hour stop** during lunch. These timings are exactly as described at the time of booking, so guests know in advance how the day is structured. As for the swimming conditions, the sea is a natural environment, and waves and currents can vary from day to day. We always choose the safest anchorages possible based on the weather and sea conditions. While conditions may sometimes make getting in and out of the water a little more challenging, they are beyond our control. We appreciate your comments and wish you many more wonderful experiences exploring the Mediterranean.
