Highlights
  • Lalaria Beach - Accessible only by boat, Lalaria is considered one of Greece’s most stunning beaches. This dream-like location features enormous white cliffs emerging from the clear, deep blue sea.

  • Il Kastro - Situated at the northern tip of Skiathos island, the ancient village of Kastro sits atop a cliff overlooking the sea. Today, visitors can admire the remnants of past civilizations, including a drawbridge, churches, palaces, and houses. Where possible, these structures have been reconstructed to help us understand the history and culture that once thrived in Kastro.

  • Katigiorgis - Also known as Agios Georgios or St. George, Katigiorgis is a small village with a fishing harbor and beach on the east coast of Pelion. It is the closest point on Pelion to the island of Skiathos.

  • Tsougrias Beach - Tsougrias is the most frequented islet across from the port of Skiathos. This picturesque spot is covered with pine trees and eucalyptus and boasts stunning beaches with green crystalline waters.

Additional Information

The boat departs from Skiathos Port and heads north of the island. After passing the Blue Caves, the first stop is the white-pebbled Lalaria Beach. You’ll have about an hour of free time for swimming and enjoying the scenery. A short 5-minute sail will then take us to the old village of Kastro, the island’s former capital, where you can admire it from the beach or walk up to the main gate of the old city. Our next destination is either Katigioris, a small fishing village in Pelion Mountain, or Asselinos Beach. Here, you’ll have ample time for lunch and swimming. Finally, we’ll head to Tsougris Island, where the magical beach and its crystal-clear waters will make you feel like you’re in a tropical paradise.

An affordable must! - Wonderful sea cruise to see parts of Skiathos only accessible from boat. Friendly wonderful staff, Tatjiana was very informative. Unfortunately, there was one group of very rude patrons. For future, it would be nice if staff make an announcement regrading seating to prevent this type of interaction from souring someone else's trip.

The Kalypso Rocked! - The views were incredible and the crew was friendly and engaging! The boat was perfect- clean, playing great music, and had a well-stocked bar! We made numerous stops at varied islands and beaches and had adequate time on shore to enjoy them all! We highly recommend the Kalypso and crew!

Excellent - Amazing day on Kalypso’s last sea and sun tour of the island for 2023. Recommended. This was our first trip to Skiathos.

Very good - A lovely relaxing day without any pressure and with a beautiful breeze to keep you cool, but remember your sun cream… very good value for money and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. Commentary for the island by the onboard representative of the boat was informative but not annoying. Lunch available at the taverna was good. A great day ending back in the port around 5pm where you can then continue your day with drinks and food from the beautiful restaurants and bars…

Easy to get around - Snorkelling was really good . Lovely clear water. Limited space for those that don’t want to hire sun-bed. Very easy to navigate island by the regular buses.

Pretty Average - Boat was 30 mins late leaving as had to wait for a bus full to arrive! Crew didn’t engage at all. The girl who spoke on the loudspeaker was quite rude and keen to promote her own yoga classes. The 4 stops we made were nice but can’t say ‘you must do this trip’ as it was pretty average. Lalaria beach and the little island of Tsougria were the best bits and you can get trips at the harbour that just do these which would be much better.

Could not go due to storm that lasted for 3 days - We were looking forward to this trip but due to extreme weather the trip was cancelled at the last minute. The whole area was shut down and we were not allowed to leave our hotel. Could not rearrange as we were due to go home before the tour could be resheduled.

Atrocious customer support - Changed itinerary even when I contacted them prior to find out if everything was going according to plan I was advised it was. Onboard the calypso I noticed extra stopping points and when I enquired they had combined two tours. It was not possible for us to spend the extra hours on the tour as we had to finalise our yacht charter that afternoon Consequently we disembarked and lost the entire cost of the tour for 4 people. Very poor customer service care. Took no responsibility for change and no advance warning so I was not able to cancel trip and get a refund 🤬 4 v unimpressed ex customers from Sydney Australia. September 15 2023.
