Excellent! - Yesterday we had the opportunity to enjoy an excellent sailing day. We were 15 people, and although it may seem like a lot, there is plenty of room not to feel overwhelmed. Cris, Odissey’s Guide kept an eye on the group at all times, giving clear instructions on the boat, explaining each point of interest we passed, clearly reporting on what to expect from each stop and being super aware of the group so that we did not lack any drink, water, beer, white wine, Coke, etc. He was also an excellent cook to prepare us a very rich breakfast and a delicious lunch as well as the detail of the snack with fruit. The captain interacted less with the group, always attentive to their work, but was very kind during the mini excursion to some caves in the auxiliary boat they carry. The boat is very clean and very well maintained. Although we carry our own glasses, on the excursion you are left with glasses, tube, fins and water “churros”.
Maximum punctuality and quiet background music to set the navigation. We liked it very much, highly recommended.

A perfect trip - Really enjoyed the trip. The host (Cristos) made it, he was superb. Trip was the perfect duration 9 till 5), and visited the best places. My wife has Coeliac disease and Cristos was really knowledgeable and accommodating with the food. The captain was a great pleasant guy also. We’d certainly recommend this trip

Beautiful way to experience Milos! - We had a wonderful day trip with Odysseus, despite the weather being quite windy, they made adjustments to the itinerary to ensure we still had a great time. The staff were wonderful and made it such a fun day out, and the food was incredible. The boat was really comfortable and had everything we needed for a great time on the water. Highly recommend these guys!

Must do! - We sailed one day - about fifteen people - on a sailboat around Milos. Friendly crew and little care for passengers. Unlimited drinks. Careful meals designed to meet the wishes or needs of passengers. 3 swims and ready equipment for snorkling. A very nice day! The service is expensive but worth it!

An amazing boating day out - We loved this experience, the boat was big enough for the amount of people and everyone on board including the team were lovely. Chris made sure we were well informed about the areas we were stopping at, with three major stops and lots of photo opportunities. These stops allowed us to see things we wouldn’t have seen otherwise, such as beaches only accessible by boat. We also loved the breakfast and lunch with delicious chicken and salads. The crew kept us well hydrated with the offering of water, fizzy drinks, beer or wine whenever we were without. Each stop we had the option to use snorkels, flippers and floaters which we utilised. The water is crystal clear and we enjoyed cliff jumping, seeing fish and swimming through caves with our snorkels. If we had to be picky we would say the only improvement would be to have more areas to lay and sunbathe on the boat- this is us looking for any improvement and being picky. You have to be relatively fit to enjoy this tour with lots of swimming, climbing/ jumping on and off the boat and climbing over to the seating areas. We absolutely loved every part of it and would 100% recommend this experience.

This boat tour exceeded all expectations! - Boat was spacious and fit all 17 of us with plenty of room to spare. The crew was top notch, we only had the captain and Cristos but they both managed the boat and duties very well. Cristos was on top of things, providing information during our journey and stops as well as always providing us beverages to keep us hydrated and don’t get me started on the most delicious food I have had in a while. The boat ride started a little bumpy but sailboats were well designed for this, the only concern was a little bit of water splashes which caused me to eventually move to the back of the boat but no sea sickness or anything. The captain navigated the waters well and got us to more calmer areas of the island where we got to make 3 stops, with plenty of swimming time, drinks, snacks and meals. This was an absolutely amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone.

Fun Day Trip with swimming and top scenery - Christos and the captain were great yesterday - the lunch was absolutely fantastic, they always made sure everyone had drinks, water or anything they needed.The swimming was excellent also with three different stops.
My only disappointment was that it was advertised as a Sailing day with the photo of the yacht under sail with the wind. Sadly I was told on the boat that this would not happen as there were too many people on the boat.

Does not stop at Sikia Cave or Kleftiko - We are snorkelers and the write-up specifically says “a swimming stop in the coves of Sikia Beach”, but we sailed quickly past this and heard another passenger being told that this trip did not stop there because the boat is too tall, although there was a ship of similar size there when we passed. This was a main reason for us choosing this tour and we were hugely disappointed. This tour also does not stop at Kleftiko - it stops nearby. Aside from that, the food provided was quite good and the crew was nice - this is a good tour for sightseers who’d just like to take a dip now and then on a full day boat ride.
