OUR PICKS · CATAMARAN CRUISES IN GREECE
Good catamaran cruises in Greece fill up weeks ahead and the best cabins go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each fare includes and how they differ.
Join skipper Makis aboard the small Blue Foam sailing boat from Nea Michaniona. Sail across the Thermaic Gulf to Navagio Beach near Epanomi, swim to a 1970 shipwreck, snorkel in clear water, and eat a fresh Greek lunch with wine on board.
“We had an amazing day on the water! Our guide was so lovely and helpful”
Captain Makis takes up to eight people from Nea Michaniona to Epanomi’s Shipwreck Bay, opposite Mount Olympus. You’ll sail, swim to the beach and wreck, then eat homemade souvlaki, salad, vegetables, fruit, bread, and wine aboard a 46-foot yacht.
“Communicated very well, super welcoming and the entire excursion was enjoyable and fun! We got to see dolphins and swim in the prettiest blue water!”
Sail from Agios Nikolaos with captains Christos and Yannis, circle Spinalonga’s Venetian fortress, then anchor at Kolokitha Bay for swimming, snorkeling, SUP, lunch, fruit, wine, and sea views. The small group is limited to 10 people and the trip lasts 4.5 to 6 hours.
“The guides are wonderful and the food was very good!”
Set sail from Agios Nikolaos with an experienced crew, including Christos, Yannis, Georgios, and Ioannis. You’ll cruise past Spinalonga, anchor at Kolokitha for swimming and lunch, and return after about six hours. The boat holds no more than 10 people and includes snorkel gear, SUPs, wine, and soft drinks.
“We absolutely loved this day out, we traveled with a friend and she felt the same. Even before it began the communication was excellent, a very helpful description of where to park and even a photograph of the meeting point. Amazing touch! The boat waw beautiful and spotlessly clean. Georgios and Ioannis were so friendly and welcoming we felt at east right away. They were also very instructive and on point with safety on board. The other guests were also lovely, a great mix from all over, even though there were only ten of us in total. The trip was so relaxing, plenty of drinks and the lunch was delicious.…”
An hour around a harbour, a full day with a swim stop, or a cabin and a sunrise.
