“Thld was the highlight of our trip--swimming in the Mediterranean Sea with my son. The crew of Chris, Thanos and The Captain (I don't want to butcher his name) was incredibly hospitable with our 3 yr old. The only very minor complaint was the extended 2 hrs stay on Delos given the heat, but that's just Greece. The whine was minor, and my child just hung at the boat. Hopefully you are as lucky as us and we were with 2 other amazing families that we really enjoyed sharing the boat with......the other boat looked miserable based on the demanding and rude guests at check-in (lol & dodged that boat).…”
