Greek Shore Excursions: The 15 Worth Booking

55 tours  ·  from $15 a head

Piraeus is a city call, Santorini is a tender port, and the small island berths are a short walk from everything. These 15 are grouped by that difference, with prices and the boat times that decide the day.

From the Port of Kos: Full Day Boat Cruise to 3 Islands

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”

Review of Mykonos small-group cruise tour with port pickup, beaches, villages, windmills, Little Venice, and practical booking advice.

“There were only 6 of us on the tour which was nice. Guide was able to drive closer to sites since we weren’t in a bus. Wish we had used sound transmitting devices because our group tended to spread out and you could only hear him if he was next to you. Learned a lot of interesting information. Wish some history about the church and monastery had been given.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 280 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $67

Review of Santorini’s 5-hour cruise tour with sky tram avoidance, Oia, blue domes, Megalochori, black-sand beach, and practical tips.

“Our guide Victor was absolutely wonderful! He was warm, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making everyone feel comfortable right from the start. He shared great background information about Santorini’s history and Greek culture, and it was clear that he truly loves his island — he seemed to know everyone we passed in the village! Victor’s storytelling and local insights made the tour feel authentic and personal. The only small areas for improvement would be the lunch stop near the Black Beach, which felt like a bit of a tourist trap — overpriced and not very authentic — and we would have appreciated a bit more free time at each attraction rather…”

Review of Santorini’s 5-hour cruise excursion with boat transfers, Oia, Megalochori, Black Beach, blue domes, and cable car-free access.

“This was a very good way to see Santorini and you DO NOT want to take the cable car I am sure it’s a lovely experience but the line is something to behold (and you need to behold it 2x). This is a small group. Our guide was exceptional and very interactive with the group. You have time to take the pictures you want and see all the things you have seen pictures of that made you want to come Pro tip. Bring a protein bar Your opportunity to have lunch is at the very end of the tour Beyond that this was the way to go Much less expensive…”
