AEGEAN FAMILY CRUISE - FAMILY HOLIDAY

Written August 2011
The most relaxing holiday I have ever been on. My daughter especially loved swimming everyday.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Seeing dolphins
Sunset over the sea
Early morning dip in the sea
Feeding the fish from the side of the boat with the children
Sleeping under the stars
What did you think of your group leader?
Manoulos, the captain was the perfect host. The boat is his old converted fishing boat of which he is very proud and keeps in pristine condition.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Take a light sleeping bag if you intend to sleep on deck, the temperature does drop at night even in mid August! The cabins are very cosy so pack light, but you only really go in there at night. Swimming/beach shoes are very useful as the rocks have sea urchins but you can buy them in the first town you go to.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
If you love boats, meeting new people, swimming, relaxing, eating, drinking and staring at the horizon then this is the holiday for you and your family. My daughter loved it, especially sleeping on deck with the other children. There was plenty of shade on the boat which was fantastic as I am very fair skinned and managed to keep out of the sun. The breeze on board was perfect especially as the temperatures were in the mid 30's.

AEGEAN FAMILY CRUISE - FAMILY HOLIDAY

Written August 2010
This was an amazing holiday travelling around a very greek island. The Captain and his family were lovely, and the Island of Evia is delightful. Swim, snorkel, relax on deck and enjoy great meals out. That's it. Simple, unspoiled and perfect. Definitely take sleeping bags, as sleeping above deck was a highlight. Don't overpack as the cabins are small. I am hoping to go again with friends next year.

AEGEAN FAMILY CRUISE - FAMILY HOLIDAY

Written March 2010
I had always wondered what it would be like to cruise idly around a few Greek islands, and Exodus' trip on a traditional wooden Caique seemed ideal. I think we all agreed that it was the laziest holiday that most of us had ever had, with a choice of reading, swimming off the boat, or visiting sleepy Greek fishing villages, and definitely no driving! A very relaxing trip in a beautiful location.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Probably just having lots of time to relax in such beautiful surroundings. At home, life is generally quite frantic but on the boat we could laze on the decks, go swimming and snorkelling and enjoy some leisurely excursions on shore. My daughter and I both enjoyed the company of the three other families who helped make this a most enjoyable trip.
What did you think of your group leader?
Roger provided much of the entertainment in the evenings with his awful jokes and anecdotes, and even kept the children amused teaching them new card games.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Don't worry too much about it being hot. We travelled in August and once we got out towards Evia, the temperature was lovely. Most days it was quite breezy which helped keep us cool and we could always dunk ourselves in the sea.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
It was nice to see all the children amusing themselves without the aid of TV or computer games. All in all, it was a relaxing trip that allowed everyone to unwind. If you enjoy reading, make sure you bring a good book or two!

Simply the best family holiday we've ever been on. Roger the Exodus rep is a gem and the boat and crew were wonderful. A perfect break to get away from everything!

What did you think of your group leader?
Roger was very competent but more focused on adult holiday activities

Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Be aware that the sleeping accommodation is very restricted and potentially a real issue if you are a 'big' person.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Eating arrangements were generally too rigid for me and the restaurant meals too long and drawn out
My son wants to go again!
