Review of Argostoli’s sunset cruise to Vardiani Islands and Xi Beach, with swimming, paddle boards, moussaka, wine, and sea views.

“Lovely cruise from Argostoli! Great vibes, amazing crew, mousaka they served was to die for! I wish wine was a bit nicer and the swim stop was a bit longer, but it was good, we got to jump from back of the boat which was quite high up and scary but a great experience. I took a paddle board, other people were taken by a small boat to a small island and we go a little bit of time to explore! Was a wholesome experience highly recommend”

“We had a blast! We were greeted by the team warmly and they even contacted us as soon as they felt that we were gonna miss our cruise ship; they told the captain to wait for us a bit longer till we arrived. As were the last ones to board the ship, we sat inside beside the Captain and the steering wheel which honestly made the whole trip amazing!! The captain of Valsamis is extremely knowledgeable and has vast sailing experience. We were entertained by his sailing stories and his coin collection from all over the world! He took extra care of everyone’s safety on the boat. We highly recommend…”
