The Daily Cruise with BBQ & Wine is one of the best ways to experience Thassos from a completely different perspective: the sea. Aboard a large tourist boat, you'll spend 7 hours tracing the island's coastline, passing by dramatic rocky headlands, pine trees that lean over the water, hidden coves, and sea caves that are impossible to reach by road.
Departing at 09:00 every Tuesday and Thursday, the cruise includes three swimming stops at some of the most beautiful spots along the Thassos coastline. Whether you prefer to dive straight in, snorkel, or simply float and soak up the sun, each stop gives you time to do exactly that. Bring your snorkeling gear to make the most of the crystal-clear Aegean water.
At the heart of the experience is the onboard BBQ lunch: a spread of grilled food, fresh salad, and bread, paired with a glass of homemade wine or a soft drink. You'll eat with the sea around you, the scent of pine in the air, and nothing on the agenda but enjoying it.
Your captain is a local, fluent in both English and Greek, and happy to share stories, history, and insider knowledge about the island as you sail. The cruise ends back at port, with a transfer returning you to your accommodation.
Pickup is available from your hotel or accommodation between Pachis and Potos, including the Real Holidays office in Skala Prinos. Different pickup times apply depending on your resort — select your preferred pickup point during booking.
There is no better way to understand the shape and soul of Thassos than from the water. The island looks different from out here: bigger, wilder, and quietly beautiful in a way that stays with you long after you've dried off.
