The description in the tui app suggested the trip would be a journey around the coastline with the occasional stop to swim. What we actually got was a trip no further than a mile from port stopping at 4 beaches all in sight of one another. Each stop was an hour in length and 2 hours for lunch. I like a swim, but unless you are training for the Olympics then 5 hours is excessive! More of the beautiful coastline and less stops would be better in my opinion and a change of description the app.
There's nothing quite like lying back and feeling the sea spray as the sun warms your body. And if lazing on deck sounds like your perfect day, then this Thassos cruise is for you. You'll enjoy a day soaking up the views and tucking into a fresh barbecue lunch between swimming stops.
First off, we'll head to the port where your boat awaits. Then you'll set sail into the Aegean. Your captain will strike a course along the coast, giving you panoramic views over the mountains, cliffs and dinky fishing villages. And around midday, you'll drop anchor at a secluded beach – one that's only accessible from the sea.
Dive in and swim in the clear waters, stretch out on the beach or grab a snorkel to check out the marine life. You'll be served a barbecue lunch on deck, after which you'll have more time to sunbathe or swim before sailing homewards. The captain will make other stops for swimming during the trip, too.
