Absolutely amazing tour!

This was one of the best experiences I’ve had in Greece! You absolutely must do this!! You learn a lot, meet new people, the staff on the boat was amazing, and the food was soooo delicious. I would absolutely recommend this tour.

Love our Captain.

Incredible trip. The boat we were on was the Panorama. The staff was amazing, our captain was incredible. The food they prepare on the boat for lunch is such a nice touch. We went with a huge group of our family and everything was great. We got picked up near the top of the port. It was fairly easy to navigate BUT the pick up location was unclear which added a little stress, after that, everything was absolutely incredible ! 10/10 must add to your list of things to do. It really is the best way to see the island

Operator response

We're delighted to hear that you and your family had such an enjoyable experience aboard Panorama, and that our captain and crew helped make it a memorable one.

Amazing and wonderful experience

We were on the boat Serenity, and Chrisa was our guide. She gave us info along the way as we sailed around. She was great; very charismatic, and fun. Captain Gorge was super fun and even stepped down to take a picture with a part of group. Mousa was doing everything else: pulling anchors and bouys, making our food, cleaned the dishes. He did so much “unseen” work. Thank you for giving us such a memorable time on the ocean.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your time aboard Serenity and that the journey was made special by the whole team. It’s great to know Chrisa’s guidance, Captain George’s warm personality, and Mousa’s hard work all contributed to such a memorable experience. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share this!

Amazing boat trip that made us feel welcome and special

Absolutely brilliant boat trip. The boat was beautifully clean and well looked after. Only 16 guests with plenty of room with was lovely. Krysta the stewardess who looked after us and cooked our meal - wow! Food was fantastic and she was exceptional at keeping us well looked after and the boat safe and clean. Boat went out of its way to ensure we got all we wanted from the trip. Highly recommend panorama boat and the experience rather than being packed on with 50/60 people.

Lots of great "boat time"...

Lots of great "boat time" with stops at two swimming spots. Crew of Caldera Yachts' Panaroma was friendly, personable and very safety conscious. Confusion regarding our pickup details (nearby church vs front door of hotel) was anxiety inducing at beginning of the day. That issue should be ironed out for future cruising guests staying at Santorini Palace.

Operator response

Thank you for your very good review as well as for your comments, which we always take into account to improve our services.
