Not a great bargain

2.00The sailing cruise is nice, however not a deal for the price (120€). It passes by the red and white beach, then stops for a 20 minutes swim, cruises again towards the lighthouse, stops across the sulfuric waters and in the end leaves you an hour and a half to swim in Mesa Pigadia beach and eat the so called “buffet”. It’s definitely not a buffet and not as described on the website. They give you overcooked spaghetti, rice, greek salad, bread, and leathery chicken, all in the same platter. The view of the sunset from the caldera is amazing. The boat was clean, new, and not too crowded, which was very good. Crew wasn’t exactly caring or attentive as they were on their phone during maneuver moments. The worst part was definitely the organization at the port: no shadow/benches whatsoever and we were standing in queue with the lady shouting names and information.

5.00We took the cruise in the low season, just five passengers, a really private trip. Jeff is nice. Foods on board is ok, except that they did not provide shrimps. The last moment sunset is stunning. The trip does not go to the sea nearby Oia. But the whole trip is pleasant.
