Itinerary

  1. Anthony Quinn Bay

    30 min

    ❤️ Morning Dip: Our first stop is the world-famous Anthony Quinn Bay. Known for its deep emerald waters and pine-tree backdrop, it’s the premier spot for snorkeling in the Dodecanese. Dive into the crystal-clear sea before the crowds arrive and see the vibrant marine life that made this bay a Hollywood favorite.

  2. Lindos

    3 hours

    ❤️ 3 Hours of Lindos Magic. As we glide into the bay, witness the most famous view in Greece: the white-washed houses of Lindos stacked beneath the 4,000-year-old Acropolis.

    ✦ The Acropolis: Hike to the ancient Temple of Athena for panoramic Aegean views.

    ✦ The Village: Wander through the labyrinth of white-washed houses that give Lindos its famous 'Santorini-style' charm.

    ✦ Direct Docking: We land you right at the heart of the village, giving you maximum time to explore.

  3. Tsambika Beach

    30 min

    ❤️ Afternoon Relaxation: On our return leg, we drop anchor at the legendary Tsambika Beach. Famous for its 800-metres of fine golden sand and shallow turquoise water, it is the perfect place for a relaxing afternoon swim. The water here is always warm and calm, making it a favorite for all ages. We provide pool noodles and floats for a completely relaxing experience.
