Vacations with travel agency S-UNIT TRAVEL
A tour of well-deserved popularity, combining many attractions. Departing from the picturesque port of Achilio, the ship sails between the mountains of the Pelion peninsula and Greece’s second largest island, Euboea. Aside from the incredible views, of small islands, old fishing ports or the monumental marble quarries on Pilion, the attraction is the contact with the friendly local fauna starting with groups of dolphins, swimming by the very bow, the mighty albatrosses that can be fed from your hand and the rums that crowd the harbors throwing themselves at the crumbs thrown into the water. Although the highlight is a visit to the island’s capital Skiathos, where part of the filming for “Mamma Mia” was shot, and a stay on the golden beach of Kukunaries, one of Europe’s highest-rated beaches, the cruise itself does not pass by admiring the views, there is something else.

There are demonstrations of Greek dances, later learning them, having fun with music competitions and games. So there is no shortage of impressions.
