Highlights
  • Vathis - First stop is Vathi, a beautiful village on the island Kalymnos.
    The boat enters a magnificent natural fjord and as the valley of Vathi is slowly revealed, you have the chance to take pictures of the surrounding gulfs and caves. You will have 1 hour to explore, you can walk the peaceful streets of Vathi, try local sweets and the famous homemade orange juices, and watch the history of the island unfold before your eyes at the local sponge warehouses
  • St. Nikolaos and Georgiou Church - On our way to Plati islet, the boat pays a visit to the nearby fish farms. The smell of the fish attracts wild dolphins and most of the time you can see them jumping out of the water.
    Then the boat heads to Plati. It anchors close to the land and once the engines stop, you can jump in and swim around the boat. The sea is unbelievably clear, meaning you can easily notice the sandy bottom through the blue and turquoise waters.
    Meanwhile, on the boat, happy hour will start and the barman will serve refreshing cocktails at low prices.
  • Pserimos - The last stop is Pserimos island, which is inhabited by only 15 families during the winter and gets busier in the summer.
    You will have 1 hour here to explore. Swim on the shallow, sandy beach, discover hidden paths or just relax at a local cafeteria or taverna.

Incredible Service - I never right reviews but i have been prompted to after the incredible service. I lost my phone on this boat trip on the second island and I cannot express how good the crew were with locating it. Yiannis and Panagiotis were incredible at finding it for me as someone who knows no Greek at all. Overall the cruise as well was really fun with boat jumping and sea swimming! I could not recommend enough! 100% would do again!!

Super Best experience of our Kos Trip !!! - This was the highlight of our trip to Kos island in Greece . When we first saw the boat we thought will it be good ? As there were more fancy boats around us like pirate themed boats . But when the tour began , it was the best experience of our trip . The boat was clean , the captain and his team were very friendly and welcoming. They made us feel at home. They took us to three islands which were immaculately beautiful and serene. We got time to spend at the island and also jump into the sea near the shores to swim for sometime. The crew played nostalgic numbers from the early 2000’s like Macarena , Shakira , and other popular beats from the past . Lunch was simple but sufficient for a boat tour . At the end of the tour there was a dance with all on board members and we all had a beautiful worthy experience. I would highly recommend this tour and the Odyssey boat company for your 3 island tour . It definitely worth every single penny you pay . Very reasonable and super friendly team . 7 Stars from me !!!

Lovely team but maybe avoid in high season - Pros: staff were wonderful, drinks on board were reasonably priced. Cons: boat was packed, not much to do on the islands that we sailed to.

Overcrowded and unpleasant - I hated every moment of this trip, apart from setting foot on Kalymnos and Pserimos. I've been on similar boat cruises where were able to utilise a sun-lounger and relax on the trip. Here I counted 126 people crammed onto uncomfortable seats like sardines and it wasn't comfortable given the amount of time you spend aboard. Obviously, the timings depend upon where you are staying, but it makes for a long day. We were picked up from our hotel at 8 and didn't set sail until 2-3 hours later. It look 1.5 hours to get to the first island and we got back to the hotel at around 6.15pm. The delicious barbecue lunch that we were promised was revolting and I ended up buying food on one of the islands. Drinks aren't included, so take your own or you can buy some on-board.
