The island is characterised by deep valleys, countless bays and coves, and numerous beautiful sandy beaches. From the harbour town of Livadi, we cycle along a serpentine road to the island’s main town of Seriphos, whose cube form houses, nestled into landscape, stretch along the mountain ridge high above the sea.

What Our GuestsHave To Say I really enjoyed my time on the trip. The entire staff was fantastic and courteous. I could not have had such a wonderful time without them. The Boat captain was tremendously nice as so was the guides. They made the vacation fun and memorable. Everyone of the staff members from the Chef to the bar staff were easy to get along with and kept the ship running and made us feel very welcomed and entertained and very safe. I never felt like I had to be looking over my shoulder nor worry. They made us … This trip far exceeded all expectations! The ship, crew and tour guides and our were all outstanding! Our fellow travelers were delightful! First rate throughout. Our guide*** was particularly brilliant. He went out of his way to ensure everyone had an excellent, safe, interesting and fun holiday. Our week on the Thalassa was amazing!! The crew was outstanding providing a smooth voyage, top notch meals. We could not have asked for any more from the guides. They made the tours interesting with the history and myths of the islands, safe and super fun. Each day was a perfect mix of cycling, storytelling, local culture, swimming and relaxation. The trip was much more than we expected. Islandhopping tours are always very well organized and include a lot of useful local information. This guide was excellent and always cheerful. Good flexibility to change the routes, etc. depending on the weather. This review pertains to the bike/boat trip in the Saronic Islands aboard the Thalassa beginning on 27 October 2024. Everything about the trip was excellent, especially the guides Chryssa and Marylu. Even though we had to make big changes to the itinerary due to weather, the staff took the changes in stride and made sure we still had an excellent time. The food and the onboard ambiance were great. Highly recommended.
