An excellent relaxing trip, very informative throughout. Plenty of time at all the stops to enjoy the sunshine, sea and sights. Beach BBQ was delicious and plenty of it. So glad that we booked the Ionian Star.

An unforgettable Island Hopping & Beach BBQ trip! The stops at the beautiful beaches and jumping straight off the boat into the clear water were the absolute highlights. Perfect day out highly recommended

This was the best boat excursion! It was a very informative ride on a nice boat with two bathrooms. We saw dolphins, historical caves, beaches, and many other beautiful sites. The crew was extremely friendly and informative along the ride and made a delicious beach lunch for us. The bar on the boat was great too and the company was second to none!

Excellent trip
