Highlights
- Shipwreck Epanomi - Our main destination is the Navagio beach Epanomi area opposite of Mt. Olympus, the residence of the Greek Gods! You will get amazed by the spectacle of a cape in the shape of a sandy tongue that gets into the sea. Along literally sandy coastline with shells, turquoise waters competing in beauty with the different sets of a shipwreck. It sank in about 1970 giving its mark on the beach. It adds more excitement to the scenery and offers an incentive for underwater exploring. The natural images, the rhythms of nature and the journey with the sailing boat will magnetize you and build you an unprecedented feeling of freedom. At noon before the hunger conquers us, you will taste a delicious lunch prepared (from scratch) by the Captain with the fragrance of Northern Greece with the accompaniment of local wine while listening to Greek music!

Great boat trip - A lovely tour with an excellent captain
The boat is perfect for this kind of experience and the water where we stopped for swimming was the best I've bathed in, crystal clear and wonderfully salty.
A good lunch with salad, Greek of course, and good for us.
For some reason it was six hours instead of four which everyone on the boat appreciated
thank you for a wonderful day.

A wonderful day at sea - What an incredible experience! My husband and I were traveling for a wedding to Greece and wanted to make the most of our time abroad. We truly enjoyed our sailing expedience from start to finish! Our wonderful captain even helped us arrange a pick up and drop off from our hotel in the city center. His hospitality, cooking and passion for his country and work was palpable. He fostered a warm and inviting atmosphere on the boat and we loved having the opportunity to meet other tourists from various countries. The amount of time on the sail, swimming and eating was perfect. We enjoyed the sun, sea and made it back in time for a rest and a return to city life in the evening. After spending 10 days in Greece, I still think our captains homemade stuffed grape leaves were the best we had our entire trip! My husband, and avid gardener enjoyed the home grown salad that was provided as well. This experience was a true highlight of our holiday. We look forward to sailing again!

Unforgettable - The sailing cruise was a remarkable experience! Sailing was comfortable and very peaceful. The shipwreck was a neat experience. After exploring the waters we boarded the boat and was greeted with the most amazing home cooked lunch! Makis went above and beyond with making sure we had transportation to the port, food in our belly and memories to last a lifetime. (He sent us the photos he took while we were in the water!)

Great day out and great company! - Great day out and great hospitality! Last year we went on the sunset sailing cruise and we were back for the half day this year. Makis and Nikos were great company and we had the boat to ourselves. Would highly recommend! Lovely lunch as well.

Nice cruise! - A nice and relaxing day at the sea! You have to swim from the boat to the beach, and for that part you need to be a decent swimmer or he will give you a lifejacket. Nice food, nice water, nice beach!

Sailing trip with a good lunch on the boat - Nice tour with skipper Marki to shipwreck beach. We had the possibility to swim and snorkel near the beach while the skipper was preparing a Greek lunch for us. It was excellent.
A trip to recommend for a reasonable price. We were a party of five and booked a private tour, but to our surprise there was another couple on the boat. So semi-private in the end, but with nice people. So make sure that the boat is not filled up with other guest. 4 - 6 people is ideal for the size of the sailing yacht.
