Frequently Asked Questions
About Your Trip
What is the boat in Greece like?
Our boat, the MS Ag. Andreas is a comfortable, traditionally built Greek caique made of pinewood. It has a single mast with 3 sails, although we will normally be powered by the 250Hp engine. There are 8 twin cabins with bunk beds below deck and 2 bathrooms upstairs. There is a modern kitchen and a dining room with hi-fi, ample room to relax and stretch out on the sun deck with mats provided and part of the deck will be shaded. The boat is run by an extremely hospitable and friendly family who know the island intimately, having run cruises for more than 25 years.

Will it get very hot during the Greek summer?
In late July and August the temperature can get hot (normally 35-36°) but the local Meltemi north winds will prevail at this time and there is always a sea breeze during sailing. If you ever get too hot, you can always go for quick dunk in the water to cool off!

Family Groups Specific Questions
Are there any age restrictions for our Family Adventure Holidays?
To book on a Family Adventure Holiday at least one member of the family must be under the age of 18. For individual trips a minimum age will also be specified - see the Essential Information tab for the particular trip you are interested in. Please note there may also be a minimum age for certain activities on your chosen holiday.
Is a family adventure right for my family?
If you are the sort of family that enjoys meeting other families and have a passion for discovering new places and trying new activities, then you’ll love going on a Family Adventure. With a Tour Leader to take care of daily arrangements, you can relax and get on with the serious business of spending time with your family and enjoying your holiday. And it’s not just parents who take their children away; we’ve had a number of children travelling with just their grandparents too!
Itineraries are carefully planned to provide a good balance of activity and relaxation time. You can opt to stay with the group all the time or go off and do your own thing every now and then. Your leader will be on hand to help you find your way and organise optional activities. And if the local food isn’t pleasing everyone in the party, it’s usually possible to sneak off to the occasional pizza parlour or similar, to get something a little more familiar.
Our holidays are designed to take you to unusual or remote places, give you exciting experiences and allow you to make the most of your precious holiday time. As with all adventure holidays, there is inevitably an element of risk that you might not find on a resort-based package. However, safety is taken very seriously and our professional leaders will take all necessary precautions to run the trip safely. You will get to see wonderful sights, have the opportunity to interact with local people and create memories that will stay with you forever. Come with us and let us share our passion for travel with you!
