    The tour was a great mix of planned activities and free time for shopping, swimming and relaxing. All the islands we visited were beautiful and different. Katerina our Guide was a good organiser, helping with all our questions, sharing information with us and readjusting things as required due to unexpected circumstances. The small tour group of 16 was also a great size. I highly recommend this tour for a lovely, warm, relaxing holiday.

    · August 3rd, 2025
    Short, but sweet. Sailing from island to island was very cool, much more fun than just ferry hopping. Because of the nature of sailing, the itinerary is very open, and you have the chance to see many places, where you would never go as a normal ferry using tourist, like hidden caves, or snorkeling spots near sunken WW2 planes. Our Skipper CEO Kristien did a great job at letting us choose what to do next and giving us the best possible experience. The Group I travelled with, even though very small, didn't have the best cohesion, so a lot of sub group split up. Luckily this is not the norm on GAdventuresw trips, but probably just bad luck. Maybe the age difference was too high. FYI: Yes, in the end you don't stop on Santorini, but the neighbor island Thirasia, this is because neither in the ferry port, or the old port, there is a possibility for sailing boats to dock. I think that was a good thing though, because this way we could see an additional island. In the morning a water taxi brought us to the ferry port, where busses already waited to bring people to Fira, so I had zero problems with transfer.
