Detailed itinerary

First stop is Vathi, a beautiful village on the island Kalymnos.
The boat enters a magnificent natural fjord and as the valley of Vathi is slowly revealed, you have the chance to take pictures of the surrounding gulfs and caves. You will have 1 hour to explore, you can walk the peaceful streets of Vathi, try local sweets and the famous homemade orange juices, and watch the history of the island unfold before your eyes at the local sponge warehouses

On our way to Plati islet, the boat pays a visit to the nearby fish farms. The smell of the fish attracts wild dolphins and most of the time you can see them jumping out of the water.
Then the boat heads to Plati. It anchors close to the land and once the engines stop, you can jump in and swim around the boat. The sea is unbelievably clear, meaning you can easily notice the sandy bottom through the blue and turquoise waters.
Meanwhile, on the boat, happy hour will start and the barman will serve refreshing cocktails at low prices.

The last stop is Pserimos island, which is inhabited by only 15 families during the winter and gets busier in the summer.
You will have 1 hour here to explore. Swim on the shallow, sandy beach, discover hidden paths or just relax at a local cafeteria or taverna.
