4.Catamaran Day & Sunset Cruises with meals Drinks and transportation

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 760 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $133

Spend about five hours aboard a modern catamaran with a small group of up to 15 people. Captain Dimitris, Iliana, and the crew serve a fresh Greek meal, rose wine, and a two-hour swim stop at Rhenia, with Delos views and hotel transport included.

“Only knocked this down to a 4-star review as a warning to future travelers that so much of the excursion will be dependent on the weather. It was extremely choppy with 5-6 foot swells for our trip and we had to eliminate the stop at Delios. Basically it was an extremely bumpy hour trip to and from the swimming hole at Rhenia, which was so much fun. We did have a couple of passengers get slightly ill. Regardless of that the crew and the meal provided was great - they were professional and a lot of fun so cannot fault them for anything but maybe check the weather the day…”
