A lot of cruises are offered along the coast to mount Athos, a beautiful part of Greece passing by the many monasteries on the route and towards the mystical mount Athos. But Eirinikos stood out, with their very personal and warm family enterprise, their beautiful boat with the glass bottom . We are happy

Really friendly family run boat, with spacious decks and limited no of passengers, which compared to the competition is streets ahead in terms of comfort, space and friendliness. Most fun thing to do around here and you see dolphins in 90-95% of cases and they swim right next to the boat. They always slow down and make you enjoy the experience. The kids will love this! The boat is comfortable, stable and they provide guided voice overs during the trip, but hard to listen all the time. The price is exceptional but it is Covid times. The daughter sells the tickets right on the harbour, so do not take it via hotel etc, as much cheaper on the spot and 5€ reduction if you simply book up front (only pay on departure). Would definitely recommend for a nice 3 -4 hour cruise. The glass bottom part is like hmmm...perhaps for the younger kids would be fun...but rest is great

Greece is back in force with Ammon Express. Reasonable prices ,excellent service and informative high quality guides. The trip to Meteora is long and requires outstanding driving skills. Dimitri displayed them together with vast knowledge,insight and healthy humor. The duration of the trip becomes really irrelevant in such pleasant company. Meteora is an international gem that is worth every effort. The trip was well planned in advance so that we could leisurely visit 3 monasteries, enjoy lunch and rest in between. Highly recommended. Corona wise, we felt safe all the way and the rules were enforced rigorously.
