8 Boat Trip Shore Excursions in Greece Worth the Money

1.Full Day Boat Cruise to 3 Islands

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 5,137 reviews · 7h 30m · from $35Our pick

Review the Kos three-island cruise to Kalymnos, Plati, and Pserimos, with swimming stops, lunch, dolphins, practical tips, and value advice.

“We had a wonderful day with the Odyssey crew! Island were beautiful, saw dolphins by the fish farms, and to top it off the swimming spots were stunning with crystal clear water! Cocktails were great on board (€6 with a good selection). Food was simple but good - Kebab, coleslaw, and bread. We had around 30 minutes at the first island due to dolphin detour which was worth it and an hour at the other stops. TIP - Last island doesn't accept card at any restaurants so take some cash with you”

3.Best Corfu Tour with Boat Trip & Old Town for Cruise Passengers

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 107 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $72

Review of Corfu’s cruise shore tour to Paleokastritsa and Old Town, with practical advice on timing, boat costs, guides, value, and sights.

“Our tour guide was lovely however, the tour was very rushed and we did not get enough time in every area to experience it properly. The blue cave tour was really great but again there was not enough time allocated to this area. All in all I feel that to get a good experience of Corfu, this is probably not the tour.”

5.Corfu for Cruise Ships: 6 Hour Tour with Boat Ride or Beach Visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 67 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $47

Review of Corfu’s 6-hour cruise excursion, including Paleokastritsa, sea caves, monastery views, Corfu Town, transport, value, and practical tips.

“We loved this tour the most of all our Greek islands adventures. It was a great combination of sightseeing, free time and the boat tour to the caves was a highlight, although they were right to warn about the “roughness” of the fishermen who run them - they seemed quite grumpy! That just added to the authenticity of the experience though! You don’t quite go in all the way into the caves, but the views are stunning. We also had a great meal in town. Altogether a solid 10/10, highly recommend!”

We were able to anchor at a few islands, jump off and swim for a bit, all while getting a little bit of history on each of the islands. Spectacular day and the crew was so helpful and hospitable!”
