What To Expect
Lalaria Beach
Only reachable by boat Lalaria is listed among the most impressive beaches of Greece. A dream-like place of an incredible beauty with huge white cliffs rising out of the clear deep blue sea.
Kastro Beach
The ancient village of Kastro is located at the northern tip of the island of Skiathos and lies perched on a cliff overlooking the sea. Today, only the remains of the civilizations that lived here can be admired: as a drawbridge, churches, palaces, houses. Everything has been reconstructed where possible, to allow us to learn about the history and culture that together accompanied the village of Kastro, in history.

Excellent day trip round all the main beaches that are difficult to reach by car. Great Value at around £40 m.

4.00Great trip but the mainland stop not so good. Restaurants mediocre. Beautiful beaches and blue seas. Good all round trip and staff on the Kalypso boat excellent. Bar a bit pricey on board.

5.00No matter where you go by boat, Greece is beautiful. Captain and crew awesome - beach stops were amazing - food at local restaurant yum - well worth the $ and tip!
Nice and friendly crew,...

5.00Nice and friendly crew, had a lot of time to explore individually at different stops. Nicely structured, did not spend too much time traveling. The crew left earlier than discussed at all stops, at times even 10 minutes before (like 11.20am instead of 11.30am). We felt it was quite inconvenient, since there might have been some people still coming to the boat, but no one was left I guess.
Failed one-day coaster cruise on the sea

1.00Excursion of 5 September 2025 Despite the beautiful sunshine, the waves were far too great for the ship to sail north to Lalaria and Ketros. After more than an hour sailing for nothing to Lalaria and to undergo rather than relax, we were landed in Tsougrias for less than 40 min, time to get off and back to the boat to leave... And go to the mainland to Katigiorgis, still with big waves, where there was absolutely nothing to see or do. We had lunch there and that's all. The beach no interest and nothing to visit around. Before leaving, when I asked about the next destination, the answer was to wait to be in the boat to find out because the person did not know... We were told that we were going to Maratha beach, then we would return to Tsougrias where we had already been. For those who wanted to return to Skiathos, they offered to take the bus to Maratha but at our expense... again, 0 points! For professionals of navigation, conditions at sea are known long before leaving! Passengers were wet and, depending on the weight, could have fallen into the sea, and no lifejackets were offered at least to people who could not swim while the vessel was being manhandled by the waves. The only good thing was that the captain was piloting his boat despite the conditions. For us, we took the Bus option at our expense to stop the massacre and save our day. No entertainment on the boat, loud music, unnecessary risk taking, no serious plan B offered to customers, no refund or discount offered. At 90 euros for two people, that is unacceptable.
Great Trip! but buy direct from boat to board first

4.00We had a great trip, exactly according to the itinerary. We arrived early (45 minutes) and were first in the queue, with the intention to choose our seat. We were however told a second boat would arrive and that we would need to wait for it as we booked indirectly via an agent Then everyone who booked their tickets directly with the boat beforehand was able to board the first boat. The second boat only had a guide speaking Romanian. Luckily we met a friendly Romanian man translated the main points for us. As said the trip itself was very good and worth the money. Just make sure you get a seat with a guide that speaks a language you understand.
great boat trip!

5.00The trip was very good, we made stops at some wonderful places. They gave us some history behind places as we went through
Better than expected

3.00Firstly the negative. Due to the weather on the day of our trip, we were informed that we would not visit the North of the Island. This is at the Captains discretion, so fair enough. Take your own drinks as they are extortionate on board - £4 for a small can of Coke! Expect four beach stops for swimming or sunbathing. This includes at stop on the mainland where you can get lunch. Food and drinks are not included in the boat trip price. Expect a cramped boat with very little space to walk around. Beach stops are around 45mins by the time you get off and back on again. Positive points are the views around Skiathos. Trip took around 8 hours but the time passed quickly.
