I spent 4 days deciding which company to use, and so glad I picked this one! - I researched every single company cruising from Nidri before deciding on this one and my summary is:
- I regret nothing. It was brilliant, crew were nice, captain was lovely, it was relaxed, stunning beaches, good cocktails, for me at this time of year it was the perfect cruise.
- I initially booked with a smaller company but changed when I saw how packed their boat was the day before. Yes, Makedonia Palace will get packed in peak season, but in May or just outside peak season it wasn’t even half full which meant tonnes of space for everyone compared to the full smaller boats. The facilities stayed adequate and it was really enjoyable.
- There is a lot more time spent on this boat compared to smaller ones, so depends what you want. I like cruising and chilling, and also wanted to go to Kefalonia which the small ones don’t, so this worked nicely and was cheaper. We had a 1 hour stop at Porto Katsiki, over an hour at Fiskardo in Kefalonia and I think 45 mins ish at another beach on the way back. In peak season when it’s packed, I may have preferred longer off the boat so opted for a smaller one and missed Kefalonia, but for May this was perfect.
- So my advice is, if you’re here in school holidays then expect a packed out boat. You’re going to get that whatever company you use, so make your decision based on your priorities of time on/off boats. If you’re here early/late or out of season then you’ll have loads of space and probably love this as much as I did. I’d highly recommend.
Thanks Captain and crew!

Fantastic Day out a must do - What a Fantastic Day Out Exploring the Ionian Sea Aboard This Great Boat!
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm and friendly welcome by Captain Costa and his incredible crew. Their hospitality set the tone for a truly unforgettable day on the water.
The Makedonia Palace is a beautiful, well-maintained boat with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the stunning views of the Ionian Sea. Whether lounging on the deck, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, or soaking in the sun, there was something for everyone.
Captain Costa and his team went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and having a great time throughout the trip. From sharing local knowledge and pointing out hidden gems along the coast to making sure everyone had refreshments and everything they needed, their attention to detail was second to none.
If you're looking for a memorable and relaxing day out in the Ionian, I highly recommend a trip aboard the Makedonia Palace. We came back with smiles, great memories, and a strong desire to book again!

BOOK BOOK BOOK - A Day to Remember Aboard Makedonia Palace Truly in the Best!
If you're looking for the ultimate day at sea, look no further than Makedonia Palace and her phenomenal crew! Captain Kostas and his team are in a league of their own! professional, friendly, and full of infectious energy that makes the whole experience unforgettable.
From the moment we stepped on board, we felt like VIPs. The vibes? Immaculate. The music, the laughter, the stunning views it all blended into the perfect Ionian adventure.
Let’s talk about the food and drinks! WOW! Fresh, flavorful, and flowing generously all day. It felt like a floating paradise with cocktails in hand and delicious Greek lunch. Everything was done with such heart and attention to detail.
It’s no surprise these guys have held the number 1 spot for so long! they absolutely deserve it. Every second was filled with fun, beauty, and that signature Greek hospitality.
Don’t think twice. Book the trip. Live the magic.
Makedonia Palace is the crown jewel of the Ionian, and you’ll be talking about it long after the sun sets.
10/10 We’ll be back again and again!
