This trip combines both visit and fun, thus being the perfect match for families and friends! After departure from the port of Agios Nikolaos where you will meet our experienced and enthusiastic crew, we will head to Kolokythia beach. Going there will take around 1 hour but is undoubtedly worth it as you will find crystal clear waters and will have a beautiful view over the coast.

Amazing experience in the beautiful Mirabello Bay! The crew was absolutely wonderful, friendly, and professional. Everything was top-notch from start to finish. Stunning views, great vibes, and an unforgettable day on the water. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Greece! 🇬🇷⭐
Bettina · FamilyGermany · July 2026
I can only recommend the boat tour with reservations. The price was good, but unfortunately, the experience was very much a mass-market affair. At both stops, there were other boats, so we were packed tightly together on the beach. The atmosphere was rather hectic and chaotic. The return trip, on the other hand, was very long. We were greeted with a welcome drink – sugary juice and later watermelon. A nice gesture, but unfortunately, everything was served in small, single-use plastic containers. Then you could buy overpriced keychains with a photo taken upon arrival. The staff were mostly quite unfriendly, especially towards children. So, this is really only suitable for people who want to save money and don't have high expectations. For everyone else, I recommend investing a little more money for greater comfort and quality.
