Piraeus for the Acropolis, a tender under Santorini, three islands out of Kos. These 15 sort the ruins from the swimming, each with its price, its length and how much of it is spent on a coach.

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

Join Captain Yanas and the Odyssey crew for a 7.5-hour cruise from Kos to Kalymnos, Plati, and Pserimos. You get a fjord-side village visit, Greek buffet lunch, clear-water swim stops, affordable cocktails, and a chance to spot dolphins near the fish farms.

“Great day trip! 7.5 hours sounds daunting but it was 7 hours in total and flew by. Lots of people on the boat which is typical for these kind of trips, but managed to get a good spot with my partner. I’m vegetarian and my boyfriend is vegan and the vegetarian option was delicious and suitable for both of us (he just didn’t have the tzatziki). The islands were amazing and loved the chance to swim. Dolphins were a big plus. Exceptional value and would really recommend!”

Visit Armenistis Lighthouse, Ano Mera, two beaches, Mykonos Town, Paraportiani Church, the windmills, and Little Venice. Groups can reach 14 people, with time for photos and some flexibility.

“The tour was okay but the "admission" to Little Venice is misleading as this is an open area that anyone can walk through with shops and restaurants. And the "admission" to the Church of Paraportiani didn't apply as we didn't even stop here. It was nice to be escorted through town and see other areas of the island, but not sure it was worth the price and the description is misleading.”
