Would highly recommend this boat tour everything was superb from the pickup from our hotel to the stunning cove for swimming and snorkeling, then to the beautiful Symi, lovely coloured building in the harbour and stunning little side streets selling all sorts, enjoyed a lovely Greek meal in a traditional taverna highly recommended, then a couple of hours to wander around the stunning street's and harbour before we set off back to Rhodes whilst watching the stunning sun setting. Book directly with them to save a few euro's.

MICHAEL, is by far the bestl driver we ever had, he moved with his car through the small streets of Rhodes as if it was a bike. We were on a cruise and had only a short stop in Rhodes; he showed us the beautiful coastline and told us the most interesting details of the isle, thus ensuring a wonderful, extremely-interesting time, He is very kind and thoughtful. He offered me some flowers from a typical tree in Rhodes; they lasted for several days during our trip as a nice memory to the beauty of Greece.

Your first stop is Vathi, a beautiful village on the island Kalymnos. The boat enters a magnificent natural fjord and as the valley of Vathi is slowly revealed, you have the chance to take pictures of the surrounding gulfs and caves. You will have 1 hour to explore When you return to the boat, a buffet lunch will be ready for you. The normal menu is pork or chicken Souvlaki, salad, tzatziki and bread. There is also a vegetarian option with beans and dolmades instead of meat. Next stop is Plati islet. The boat anchors close to the land and once the engines stop, you can jump in and swim around the boat. The sea is unbelievably clear, meaning you can easily notice the sandy bottom through the blue and turquoise waters. Meanwhile, on the boat, happy hour will start and the barman will serve refreshing cocktails at low prices. The last stop is Pserimos island. Explore, swim on the shallow, sandy beach, discover hidden paths or just relax at a local cafeteria or taverns

Inclusions: BBQ Lunch on Boat with vegetarian options

Exclusions: Drinks – available to purchase , Towels

Wonderful day of cycling, thanks so much! The bikes were all Specialized, great condition, we had a choice to either take an easy rout or a more difficult one, which was great! Saw the other part of Rhodes, it’s fascinating olive trees, some as old as 2000 years old! A varied rout with where our guides supplied us with a constant supply of cold water and a fantastic lunch at the top of the mountains. Really memorable experience and a caring guide, totally exhilarating and so worth it!
