Skopelos, the island in the first "Mamma Mia!" movie, is also becoming a popular honeymoon destination in Greece.
Everyone that watch this movie can appreciate the beauty of this island.

Wow sounds like a great time ahaha! It's nice that people like you who were working the event were able to have equally as much fun! That's the Greek spirit! I would love to see pictures of the yacht

The Yacht is Quarantine of Delos.....she is amazingly versatile did many events in different circumstances, some too risky in serious weather conditions but we were experienced and the crew too!...In summer months we used to sail to Rhenia(Some body here was asking can they go to Rhenia?) as the captain's grand father had an old house which they cannot live there anymore I think but a place to have a barbecue and that island feeling with a handful people swimming in crystal clear waters, privacy and fun.

Not cheap!.... Depends on your budget, another option see the other one in the picture?, they do evenings and sunset mini cruising, some nice wine, canapés that sort of thing.
Or you can share with people and go beach barbecuing, remote inaccessible beaches....in Syros my friend has boat too!.. Good Morning from Thailand..

yes not cheap at all! maybe in a few years if I save enough or go in a big group like you're suggesting. it would be so nice to be able to visit remote beaches like Vatheia Lagada and Choulakia beach. both are my dream beaches

Good, remember golden rules,do not over load your schedule, don't go in July and August, don't get stressed about booking Excursions, they never get sold out...(I formulated and managed them), there is always something else to do, leave plenty of time to do nothing, remember it is a holiday and you are celebrating, not come home and need another holiday to recover from the previous over loaded one!...Have fun.❤️..... Good Morning from Thailand....In Mykonos there are fishing boats(Very cheap) travelling from Ornos and Platis Yalos beach until Kalo Livadi beach, you can go beach hopping, stay a while,move on lunch wherever your budget and feelings take you..!👌

If you have very specific requirement about a particular Yacht or helicopters you might have make reservations, but even then an alternative can be located.... Also many choices of different things going on in Mykonos all summer long.... Later on when they are all settled down in reopening the island I will try inform you all here...

Taking a culinary tour of Greece

I would like to take a tour or create my own itinerary to do nothing but visit Greece to eat all the food. I want to go to some unique and memorable destinations. For many reasons, both Ikaria and Crete are on my list. I will have maybe two weeks in Greece so I truly don't have the itinerary fleshes out. Or if anyone can recommend a tour company, that would be good too.

Some questions:

Best Time to Visit: What's the ideal time of year for such a tour, considering weather, food seasons, and avoiding peak tourist crowds?
Must-Visit Places: Besides the obvious choices like Athens and Santorini, are there any off-the-beaten-path locations that are a foodie's dream?
Local Experiences: Are there particular cooking classes, food markets, or local farms that offer a deeper dive into Greek cuisine and its preparation?
Travel Tips: Any logistical tips for traveling within Greece that might make moving from one culinary destination to another smoother?

Thanks in advance!

Canyoning Bled Slovenia

Hi guys!!
I'm planning to take a group canyoning Bled but apparently, it is obligatory to use a local guide. I am a canyon instructor (caf and ffme), is this enough to supervise without anyone else? I have several years of experience (climbing and canyoning) and it is obvious that I will not be able to offer this destination if it is not possible.
Thanks in advance

Cycladic Islands in Greece 'Threatened by Surge in Tourism!

Visiting Delphi worth it?

I am trying to figure out if visiting Delphi is worth it. I want to fit seeing as many historical sites as I can into my itinerary. I've always been fascinated by ancient cultures and their histories, which naturally puts places like Athens and Santorini on my list. Recently, I've been reading up on Delphi and am intrigued by its significant historical and cultural value, not to mention its picturesque landscapes.

Given its status as the center of the world in ancient Greek civilization and the home of the famous oracle, it sounds like a place full of fascinating stories and ruins. However, I'm also aware that Greece is full of remarkable places to visit, each with its unique allure.

Greek Islands Food Tour?

I am a foodie and I love to cook. Does anyone know of any food tour situations that I can do in the islands, or maybe island hopping?

I am in the midst of planning an exciting adventure to Greece and am particularly interested in experiencing the country through its cuisine. I've heard that island hopping offers not just stunning views but also a taste of local flavors that differ from island to island.

With so many beautiful islands, from the renowned Santorini to the charming Skopelos, I'm looking for recommendations on food tours or culinary experiences that are part of island hopping packages. Any recommendations you may have would be great!
