Far exceeded my expectations. The boat (Thalassa) was an outstanding vessel with comfort and old world charm. The food was authentic and delicious. The crew was very professional and the bike tour guides Isabel and Dionysius were fantastic. We totally enjoyed ourselves and we would absolutely recommend this tour. My only question is how soon can I book the next one? Yamas!

Everything was wonderful!

My wife and I just returned from a week trip with islandhopping.com, Germany-based company, on the boat M/B Thalassa. The boating is by motor but occasionally they put up the jibsail. It was a great trip with excellent outcomes. Our trip leaders were MaryLu, and Lefteris. They were both excellent in all regards. Perfect English from these native Greeks. Our group consisted of seven Americans, two Australians, and eight Brits. Our group was all over 60 years. It was helpful that everybody spoke English and our group got along totally well without any dispute which made everything a whole lot of fun. The company provided very excellent E bikes that performed very well. The food on the boat is great. I would’ve preferred for larger volumes of hot eggs and more fresh fruit in the morning but everybody else on board seem to be pretty satisfied with the fare. Apostoles was the cook, garrulous guy who provided superb lunches and dinners. Rafael and Mohammed were the crew guys who mostly served us and did a great job. Very good English and personable. On this trip you have to be prepared for changes in the itineraries based on weather conditions. I think they tend to be quite conservative in terms of altering the itinerary, but I would not argue with the captain over safety. Our in cabin bathroom was 2/5 stars, very dated, but fully functional. Achilles and Demetrious were the engineer and another sailor. Also very nice but more involved with running the boat below deck mostly. We had one day where we were able to swim from the boat, docked well offshore, which was very enjoyable for everybody. I do wish in the future they would incorporate more of these opportunities, and it really was not clear why they would not. Summary, it was a five star event at what I think is a very economical price for what you get. We were just on the boat tour not the Athens tour.
