- S6872XQandreasw0 contributionsTotally worth it!This cruise was awesome and totally worth it, the food and drinks included were great as well. Multiple swim stops were fantastic. Highly recommended!!Written 14 December 2024
- P5586SHzoes0 contributionsHighlight of the tripThe entire day was one we will never forget. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made the experience what it was. The entire group could not stop raving about the views, the water, the boat and the food! We would rebook in a heartbeat. Thank you to the entire team for making the experience all that it was!Written 6 November 2024
- HarryPottesrsMum0 contributionsGem of a place!What a gem of a place to find sailing around the South Ionian islands in Greece Tiny little harbour not enough room to dock for the night as only enough room for about 9 yachts We moored out in the bay though which was stunning. Went for a drink in the Windmill taverna, beautiful views of the bay.Written 1 November 2024
- Cindi H0 contributionsSee first hand the beauty of MykonosOur guide provided wonderful insights to the the islands history and modern day culture. We saw a variety of island areas. There was much more walking required than indicated in the descriptionWritten 26 October 2024
- Curious505015067490 contributionsA true gem of an experience! A for sure not to miss your!This was an absolute gem of an experience! We were picked up in OIA and then delivered to our winery in Southern Santorini for an exceptional tour. We initially sampled four different lines and then got a tour of their wine, production facilities, including their seller, and then the highlight of course was the cooking experience with Christy’s and team. I cannot speak highly enough about Krista and his passion for Natural, organic cooking, and the techniques and methods that he parted upon us. The food was absolutely amazing, and this was truly the highlight of our vacation.Written 26 October 2024
- LeiHanXi0 contributionsAmazing cooking class and wine tasting at a picturesque wineryAmazing wine tasting and cooking class combo! We started with tasting four wines and a tour of the facilities. We then cooked Santorini-style salad, tomatokeftedes (tomato fritters), then fava (lentil puree) with capers and onion, and lastly pork cooked in a dessert wine- you get recipes to take home afterwards too. We cooked using many local ingredients from their picturesque gardens right outside the classroom. The day ended with a wonderful meal and they included a dessert they had made. Highly recommend this amazing experience!Written 26 October 2024
- H3402TVadamg0 contributionsMust Do Tour!There's a lot of history here, and walking around with someone knowledgeable helps peel back the layers and put it in context. Our guide Nikos was passionate about the history and equally proud of his hometown, so we got a great picture of both the past and the present. Phenomenal way to see the town!Written 25 October 2024
- WayfaringLibertarian0 contributionsImprovements NeededI had genuinely hoped to have an amazing experience on this tour and with this company so I could write a glowing review to counteract some of the not-so-glowing reviews this tour has received. Unfortunately, my overall experience was just average. The trip itself was grand. We successfully made the journey from Thessaloniki to the starting point for the cruise and then completed the cruise. It’s the customer service details where things fell short. At 7am on the morning of the day trip, the sweet (but lacking assertiveness) tour guide wasn’t even holding a sign that said “Mount Athos” nor did the van have a sign specifying the trip. There were at least 100 tourists at the same spot ready for day trips to various places. More effort needs to be put in so tourists know which tour guide is theirs and which vehicle is theirs. Finally, while this was entirely my fault, I left a pair of earrings on the seat of the van we took. The morning after the trip, I messaged the tour company to alert them. It took over a day for them to respond and for them to tell me that the driver of the van “did not find” my earrings while cleaning. Considering these earrings were 2.5” in length and difficult to miss, I can only assume that they were thrown away. Customers of this company deserve better.Written 15 October 2024
- 221ianw0 contributions"Lifetime Experience"Unbelievable to actually experience walking in a volcanic crater,steam rising from all around the sides. Before coming on this trip,we never imagined the sheer size of the crater! Few tips,it can be precarious walking down into the crater,so tread carefully and allow yourself time,wouldn't recommend descent for people a bit unsteady on their feet. Make sure you wear "sensible"footwear,not flip flops etc.but "trainers,sport shoe or good soled shoes as the ground beneath your feet can get pretty hot,what,with the sun beating down,as wearing a hat is also recommended to protect against sunstroke! Thoroughly enjoyed the trip,although on the steep mountainous roads,my wife had her heart in her mouth as the coach navigated the snaking narrow road!Written 14 October 2024
- susanhT28RN0 contributionsNot a nice experience.Went on the Kalypso boat trip around Skiathos and over to the mainland. Boat was so full you could hardly find a place to sit down. Loud banging music played all the time and it was simply dreadful. When we got to Lalaria there were numerous other tripper boats all lined up, so the beach was packed like sardines. We didn't even bother to get off the boat. The village on the mainland was lovely. Put us off doing any more boat trips on our holiday.Written 14 October 2024
- megansF6649FX0 contributionsTerrible Customer Service and Lackluster Trip.We booked this via Tripadvisor which then went via a company called Viator. I'll start with the positives, athough our overall experience was disapointing the staff were brilliant and the food (although not a BBQ) was nice and the stops we did have were amazing. One of the draws to this perticular boat cruise was the 6 stops and as advertised 'some unique caves and dive from cliffs' we were very disapointed that we did not see any of this, we had only 4 stops to just jump and swim in the open sea which I'm not disputing were amazing but disapointing that the main draw of the trip for us was the chance to go into caves and jump from the cliffs. The food, whilst was good was inconsistent - some people had huge portions with all the seafood whilst ours was half of that and I had no seafood even in mine. We did however have an overall good day but as someone else has commented the boat is rammed so once you've taken your seat you cannot move and get shade and after a full day in blairing heat this can become exhausting. The most overal disapointing part of this was that I contacted Viator to express these concerns and the 'customer care' was quite frankly appauling. After an intial email exchange they stated that 'the weather conditions were favorable and therefore they were unable to offer any sort of compensation' I emailed them back to say if the weather conditions were davourable then why wasnt the full schedule carried out and I got a response within 1 minute of sending my email saying they had taken a second review and that they coud not be of any help. I have emailed them on three seperate occasions and they have still not responded to me. The only reason I emailed to request a partial refund is that we have been on many boat trips of under $50 per person and had the same experience. We paid $200 for 2/3's of the advertised tour.Written 11 October 2024
- sholman650 contributionsFantastic experience!I visited here August 2004. What a great couple of hours it was. My partner and I were on holiday in Koukonaries and already had a wonderful Donkey Sanctuary on our doorstep run by a German lady. We made the decision to visit this beautiful dog rescue centre situated high up in the mountains. On arrival, the two Scottish ladies who own the rescue centre make all volunteer walkers very welcome and assess them as to what size of dogs they would be best suited for walking around the mountain path. We were lucky to have two beautiful dogs named Gary & Chesney. Gary was quite old black Labrador and Chesney looked like a cross whippet. Both were very familiar with the route and showed us the way. Chesney managed to slip his collar off half way round and ran all the way home ahead of us. We donated a large sack of dog biscuits before we left and gave a cash donation too for good measure. Anything you give is greatly appreciated. Well done to the lovely Scottish ladies who run the shelter. You deserve reward for your efforts. Steve Holman & Colin PowellWritten 9 October 2024
- Georgia G0 contributionsParos sunset horse ridingBest afternoon sunset ride with a friendly and funny team! My husband and I set off on our horses with a lovely staff team. The horses were safe, reliable and knew what to do up and down the cliffs. We occasionally galloped and that really enhanced the experience! Thankyou to Stelios, Natalia, and the boss for the hospitable horse rides. Would definitely recommend one afternoon in Paros. The views were breathtaking taking.Written 9 October 2024

- timrP4429AM0 contributionsBad day trip to BodrumReason for one star was not the fast very that was good,the booking And cost was reasonable and the lady was very helpful although the queue for the ferries and the customs area was organised chaos and that is being very polite!! Upon arrival easy transfer to drop area then in my opinion it went downhill very fast Bodrum port was a nice walk for about an hour but everything else was a tacky market style place replica this and replica that, if you stopped for any drinks/data I found they just charged so much for very little. Shame really as I felt that it was three hours of my life I will never get back and would never recommend this trip to anyoneWritten 8 October 2024

A fabulous experience complete with Greek dancing and a 7 course meal. The preparation was easy and fun, she explained everything and we all got to take part in the dishes. Served with Greek wine (white,rose,red) and the recipes were emailed so we can try again at home!!
I fully recommend this for anyone wanting an experience for learning Greek cooking but also anyone looking for a fun evening out.

Maria is seriously the best hostess! The cooking class starts with a demand to drink wine, don an apron, and put on the head scarf they give you. Then you’re immediately put to work chopping, rolling dough, filling pastries, and filleting fish. This is definitely not the kind of “class” where you sit back and watch, you are in the thick of it preparing a beautiful meal with your group! We drank a local liquor, danced, and ate as one big group and it was amazing! Maria also makes sure to include options for those who are vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian! We had an amazing time and hope to return one day with our friends!

Vivian's cooking class was an extraspecial experience. Her recipies were passed down to her from her grandmother (a dash of this, a shake of that). Vivian is fun-loving with a well organized program and she creates a warm friendly atmosphere among the participants. The end result; my daughter and I rated this as our best meal after spending 2 weeks traveling in Greece.

This is one of the funnest and most enjoyable cooking classes I have taken. Maria and her staff are so organized and so helpful. The prep space was amazing. We had 12 people in our class and each one was a delight to meet. A very fun group! We highly recommend this experience if you are coming to Paros

All of the staff truly provided a delicious and memorable experience. We got to know people from all over the world, enjoyed wine, danced, got to learn delicious authentic Greek recipes and cooking tips, and enjoyed the amazing food. Transfer was offered and they even emailed us a recipe book afterwards. Well worth the money and couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Well organized class! Very friendly, fun people. Felt a bit rushed and wasn’t sure if we could have had more input into the menu. We saw lots of different things being made for other tables. They send the recipes after, which is great, will try at home. Car service was timely. Good, not great. Price was high for 8 of us. Even our “expensive” dinners were significantly less $. I’d do it again but can not highly “must do” recommend.

The experience and food was good but unfortunately the wine they served was warm. Everyone was complaining and the establishment wanted us to add ice which watered the wine. The winery that provided the wine is very good which we did a wine tasting earlier that day. They would be soooo disappointed that the wine is served warm.

The Paros Cooking Class was so much fun and absolutely delicious. The staff was incredibly nice and very organized. They made cooking easy and made you feel like you were participating in a Greek family dinner. It was the perfect amount of their prep work and our cooking. We had our two teenage daughters with us and they had a blast. We danced, sang and ate. Best of all we now have all the recipes so that we can try to repeat them at home. I would highly recommend this cooking class.

My son and I went to this cooking class. It was such a highlight of our trip. I would definitely recommend it on your list of things to do when you’re in Paros. I have now come home and going to have my own little cooking party with my friends and try to practice all the things that I learned (minus actually being there). Thank you for Maria for making our adventure such a great experience.
