We just finished a three night charter on the Alfa 56 foot yacht with Gianni as our skipper and Jannous as our first mate. The whole experience was fantastic. The crew massively exceeded our expectations with their hospitality, friendliness and attention to our needs and preferences. The food was exceptional throughout which really made our experience that extra but special. We would recommend this company to our friends and I'm particular, we would reccomend Gianni and Jannous as well.

Absolutely a must. This was set for our last day because we wanted down time before heading home! The food was the best we had eaten on our trip as well! We swam, ate, made new friends, and saw amazing scenery. Finally, the two guys running the show were just awesome.

Giannis is a great host and a great pro. He cooked for us, did a lot of tours and he let us feel like home. Thanks Giannis we will meet again

The sailing & gastronomy tour with Giannis and the other crew members was the highlight of my trip to Athens. After several days of walking around to see all the archaeological sites, the cruise was the perfect end to an amazing vacation. We sailed out mid-afternoon, enjoying good conversation and beautiful views. After about an hour of travel, we stopped for a swim in the breathtaking turquoise waters. The crew provided towels and snorkeling equipment. After an hour of swimming, the crew prepared a delicious Greek meal with several courses, easily some of the best food I’ve had during my stay. We shared a glass of wine and continued to take in the views as we traveled back along the gorgeous Athens coastline. The sunset over the coast was stunning. If you’re debating whether or not to book this experience, please don’t hesitate! It was well worth the money, and the crew was beyond friendly and accommodating. They even arranged for our transport to and from the port. Thank you to the crew for a memorable experience!

Fantastic and the guys are amazing. So good words cant explain.

This really was a highlight of our trip. Yannis and his colleague (I'm really sorry we didn't catch your name!) were so friendly and welcoming, and created such a chill atmosphere for our boat trip. The food was gorgeous, this would be a great experience early on in a holiday as you get to sample a variety of food and then know what to look out for on menus later in your trip. We were fortunate enough to witness thunder and lightening during our trip, and our hosts continued with professionalism and commitment to safety. It was really an experience! So even if the weather isn't perfect you can still have an amazing time.

The boat was very good. The crew was super kind and the food they cooked was amazing! Definitely recommend them for a tour of the amazing Greek islands

We had such a great relaxing time! The boat was very nice and well maintained and the crew was very nice. The Greek meal was incredible.....fresh vegetables and cheeses, grape leaves ETC. The day was beautiful as nd we stopped to swim in the crystal clear turquoise blue water and fed the fish. The day was topped off with a perfect picturesque sunset with Athens as the backdrop. We highly recommend this excursion.

Amazing experience, very delicious food and beautiful view!

Yamas!

We had a great time. The food was really good and the crew was very professional and accommodating. Very reasonably priced for the ability to go sailing for the day around Athens. I would highly recommend this for anyone who is looking for a fun experience while staying in the city.

I'm not a big one for leaving reviews, however, I felt that sharing my feedback on this one was deserved... Myself and partner Carla jumped onboarded Aiolis Sailing Boat and from start to finish experience we had was spectacular... The boat is beautiful, the crew were fun, friendly and very accommodating, the food was out of this world and the sea/views where like I've never seen before. You never truly know what to expect when you book these sort of excursions but I can confidently say that you will not be disappointed with this one.

What a wonderful experience. The boat it's self,she was so beautiful s 56 ft unique sailing boat with a Great decoration And plenty space to enjoy your journey, totally different from an average sailing boat. Im living in Athens all my Life and i didn't know all these amazing spots, we were able to taste so many different dishes all over the Greece that i never tried before,the crew was very polite and helpful ,they make us feel like it was our home. A must do experience to see the wonderful Athens Riviera and get in touch with greek gastronomy. We are going to do it again very soon. Thank you for everything guys.

We had the most remarkable family tour with Yannis. and it was my wife's birthday Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our guides and our gulet crew truly did their best to make this trip memorable. For our well-traveled children (aged 9 and 11) this definitely has become the most eye-opening,.adventurous, and stunning journey of their life - something they will remember, draw upon, and cherish for many years to come. the hidden bay was also amazing and we also enjoy the food prepared on board so much We definitely will be back and try other routes again

What a fantastic trip - if you're looking for a unique stay outside of the hustle and bustle of the busy Athens streets and want a quiet, relaxing stay in a tranquil and chilled environment, this is the stay for you. You have a skipper and a chef who will cater to your every need but also leave you in privacy to enjoy the beauty and warmth of the marina, ocean and weather! Also, 100% take the option of a daily sail - one day out on the ocean on this beautiful yacht will be a highlight of your whole holiday. Forget the Acropolis and Parthenon etc. the beauty can be seen from the ocean where you're treated to fine dining food, as you float over the turquoise blue oceans in perfect weather! You won't regret booking this experience at all!

If you are looking for a special stay, look no further and book this beautiful boat with beautiful people ! Everything was perfect! The boat is gorgeous, beds comfortable, the food prepared by chef Dimitris was truly delicious and Ioanis was a great host, offering my son and I a memorable trip for my birthday. Thank you guys for making this trip so special !!!

Its our first time to stay overnight in a sail boat. Everything is just perfect from the charming local marina and vintage decorations on board. Three b/r actually are quite bigger than we expected and the mattresses are incredibly comfortable. Luckily we had the chance to have dinner together with denise and Ioannis together with their cute daughters. It was really a wonderful night.

That was one of the best place we have ever stayed in Greece. Great thanks to Yanes, who was absolutely amazing during our stay and our cruise day. They boat is even prettier in person. We had an amazing cruise day, with great food and awesome music.Highly recommended. I will definitely go back

Amazing, I'm so glad that I've been meeting so great people, so helpful, so kind so welcoming happy and with a such good vibe? I'll be back. For sure. An I recommend !

Amazing experience!!! Beautiful sailing boat great crew and very very tasty Greek food!! Good job hope see you soon guys..

We had a wonderful 9 day sail around the Cyclades islands. The boat sailed very well, everything was in good working order and very comfortable even in windy weather. The interior is beautiful all finished in rich cherry wood, The main cabin is especially comfortable. Our skipper George was excellent. He is a very competent and safety minded skipper, he was very attentive to our needs and he was very helpful in arranging things to do in the ports. Denise was wonderful, she was very helpful and accommodating in arranging the details of the cruise. We can highly recommend sailing and would be very happy to return again for another experience.

Wow. Wonderful time on the Aiolis with Yiannis and Eugene. It was so very relaxing to cruise the islands on our own schedule and just let go of the cares of the world. The food was incredible and we were so well taken care of. Stopping from time to time to swim off the boat was priceless.

We hired the boat for a week and it was dreamy!!! The boat itself is new, well equipped and the beds very comfy. We were a group of 7 people and we were all accommodated perfectly. The space is convenient both indoors and outdoors. The skipper and Owner of the boat is professional, experienced and we felt safe from the first moment. Finally, we searched a lot among other boats and the price is 100% reasonable for the service. Available is also a chef on demand. We sailed in the small Islands of Dodecanese Nisiros, Chalki, Tilos & Rhodes but the boat is available for sailing in Argosaronic and Cyclades. Again, a big thank you for winning our trust, respect and following all hygiene rules.

Thanks to Yannis for this wonderful stay on the sailboat. From the start a very warm and hospitable welcome. Breakfast, boat, view, ambiance, ... everything was so perfect, I wish to anybody to live what I lived there I will not hesitate to recommend to my family and friends and look forward to coming back very soon! Thank you so much, first time in Greece and it was a magic time

Fantastic 6 hour cruise along the Athens coast. Yannis and Dimitris were excellent hosts/ crew and the food absolutely delicious. If you are looking for a break from the busy city, this is a great way to spend a day sailing, eating and swimming.

Wonderful

We survived a windy stay! And appreciated the experience of being right on the water. The boat is conveniently located within short water taxi to old port and city. The room is lovely. And Host Yannis was very engaging and helpful with travel around island. Yannis sets out an amazing breakfast experience. We would recommend to any travellers wanting a unique experience away from busy city noises

We absolutely loved our stay on the yacht. It’s in a fabulous location, you can walk to town in 15 minutes or catch the Sea Bus for 2 euro. The host/chef/all round wonder man really looked after us and went that extra mile to ensure our stay was extra special. Yacht was spotless and nothing beats drifting off to sleep at night with the soft splash of the waves against to boat. Thank you sooooo much and we hope to see you again next year! Deborah, Catherine & Pamela. :-)

Wonderful stay.

expérience unique et yannis nous a offert un acceuil chaleureux !

Nuit atypique dans un voilier. Dimitri nous a très bien accueilli depuis l'aéroport. Son humour et sa gentillesse rendent ce séjour mémorable. Je recommande

Amazing stay! The boat is beautiful and conveniently located in the new port. The host is GREAT, very helpful and they made sure our stay was extra special! Overall an outstanding experience. We would definitely go back and highly recommend to anyone.

Denise & Yannis were AMAZING host!!!!!! They really took care of us, and had amazing advice on what to do on the island. They were both so helpful, they even drove us to one of their beaches, as well as take us back to the port. We've never met such amazing people and we would DEFINITELY come back and they on their sailboat!!!!

Excelente experiencia. Muy atentos y comprometidos con todo lo que hacen. Contestan todo tipo de consultas al instante, excelente recibimiento. Totalmente recomendable. No solo es dormir en un velero, sino también compartir una hermosa estadía con griegos muy amables. Excelentes personas, servicio impecable. Volvería sin lugar a dudas

Yannis is a very wonderful host and he will do everything to take care of your needs. A very warm reception and stay.

Great Place to stay, right by the ferries in new port in Touros. Get off the ferry, walk over the bridge and right and there you will see their boat, The Aeolis. Yanni and his wife are very nice, they make you feel comfortable with conversation, meals, wine, and greek coffee. The boat docks are a nice little community near everything. You can take the mini ferry into town, but for maximum convenience I would recommend renting a little 4 wheeler across the street from the boat dock. There is wifi and good breakfast there, as well as 4 wheelers. Just make sure they work and have enough gas. It was very relaxing going to sleep on the Ocean. The bathroom works well and everything about the boat and hosts is really cool. Thank You!

We are two lads. One Londoner a Welsh/Dutch lad (who has also been to Cyprus this year 😜) and we had one of the best holidays of our lives at the boat. Yannis and Denise (buena sera mamer) couldn't do enough for us. They were an extension of our family for eight days. The boat itself is in great condition, clean and the ornate wooden decor is extremely easy on the eye. Bathrooms were also much better than expected. When enquiring. Ask about the Presidential Suite. It's spacious and beautiful. We spent one of the days sailing out and seeing some of the islands near. Lunch was served but Adrian (another guest) had eaten way too much of the starter so it there was more pasta and shrimp for everyone. Overall a 10/10 experience. We will be coming back next year. Brilliant people, brilliant service and excellent company with the other guests and both Yannis and Denise. Would recommend this way of holidaying to anyone. Cal and Dave.

We were so very pleased to have started our holiday with Denise and Yannis on their beautiful boat. Such a lovely and welcoming couple who are a pleasure to be around and they serve up a superb breakfast. Loved being gently rocked to sleep by the gorgeous boat. A great way to quickly lose the stresses of work and relax into your holiday. Away from the hustle and bustle of the town but very close to a short and frequent ferry ride in to it all for shopping, eating, and nightlife. Plenty decent tavernas next to the marina if you want to stay more low key sometimes.

Great Hostess, awesome trip, fantastic time. I would honestly run out of adverbs and adjectives to express our holidays experience. Denise is a super star host, she was very friendly - a perfect hostess, she took care of every tiny details. We had our vows renewed on our 10th anniversary before we went on sailing with Alios along with Denies, She made it really special for us. We had to little boys along with us, the boys became friendly with Denise and she took real care of them. On early mornings, before we woke up, she was with the boys serving breakfast. She took them for a swim, the boys were little skeptical about deep waters, but she gave them the confidence and made it enjoyable for the boys. The boys enjoyed her company. They even miss her after we got back to London from our holidays. The Yacht was in immaculate, it was well looked after, with all the facilities. The captain was also very friendly, he ensured that we had smooth sail. He knew the islands and the beaches like his back of his hand, and was took us to all exotic beaches and guided us throughout our holidays. Denise and the captain made us feel special on our special occasion. We can’t thank enough Denise, for making our special occasion even more special and an every lasting memory. I would highly recommend this to my friends, I am sure you will not be disappointed, on the contrary you will be surprised. -Nithin & Archana

We had an amazing time at the Aiolis. Its such a magnificent boat, since the moment we stepped in until our departure we felt like we were royalty. Dionisia and Yiannis are wonderful host and very knowledgable of the islands. Think no more if you really wanna live the experience of your lifetime you should choose this.

We had so much fun with Denise and yannis at aiolis. We went to Santorini, mykonos, Paris n London, and this was the highlight of our vacation. It was such a great and relaxing experience to sail to delos and rhinia and stay the night....we would definitely recommend it and do it again but will make sure to spend more time

My husband and I LOVED staying on Denise & Yannis' boat! They were wonderful hosts, felt like we knew them already! The breakfast they cooked was delicious (and very filling!), and they always made sure we had water or anything else we needed before we explored the island. The location also made transportation into Mykonos town very easy, and they gave us fabulous suggestions for no-so-touristy areas to explore that we loved even more. Would absolutely stay with them again.

From the first moment on we felt like being at home. There is such a great positive energy and having so wonderful people like Denise & Yannis around makes you leaving this place more than difficult. The boat was just breath taking, a real gem of the sea, there is a lot space and everything you can wish for. Location is also perfect and easy to get to town with the sea boat, which is located directly at the corner. Yannis is a absolutely brilliant cook and the flair to eat outside on the boat is priceless. I would always recommend to use the chance to stay on!!! You will never regret it and I'm sure you'll have a unforgettable time, like we did have.

Denise and Yannis were the perfect hosts. From the moment we arrived, they were kind, accommodating, fun to hang out with and very generous. We felt like we spent our holiday with great friends. The sailing was amazing - we swam in turquoise waters, secluded coves and even saw dolphins! The boat is beautiful and the cabin is spacious - one night, we slept under the stars on the bow. Yannis is a great chef and Denise is so kind and taught us a lot about Greek culture. They provided us with an authentic experience that couldn't be found anywhere else. We would highly recommend this experience to all travellers!

Wow! Ich kann eine Reise auf das Boot jedem nur wärmstens empfehlen! Für uns zu zweit war es eine unvergesslich schöne und eindrückliche Reise! Das luxuriöse und riesige Segelboot war wunderschön - eine eigens gefertigtes Liebhaberstück. Ob im Schlafzimmer oder auf Deck - man fühlte sich überall wohl und es gab sehr viel Raum für alle. Denise war total unkompliziert und stets um unser Wohlbefinden besorgt, kochte köstlich und wir hatten viele interessante Gespräche. Da sie auf unserer Reise alleine war, hatte sie einen profesionellen Kapitän bzw. Skipper angeheuert. Nicht irgendeinen, sondern "einen der Besten" - Costas. Er war so freundlich und angenehm und bald merkten wir, dass es eine Ehre war, mit ihm Segeln zu dürfen. Da wir an stürmischen Tagen segelten, merkten wir, wie wichtig ein RICHTIGER Kapitän war - und Costas war DER profesionelle Kapitän. Ohne je eine Minute die Fassung zu verlieren, steuerte er das Boot in absoluter Sicherheit an sein Ziel, wich den Wellen aus wie es nur ging und wir haben uns zu jeder Zeit absolut sicher gefühlt. Ich denke es spricht sehr für die Professionalität von Denise, dass sie ihr Boot nur von auserlesenen Skippern steueren lässt - wie wir gehört haben, ist das überhaupt keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Jedem, der die Ägäais besegeln will, schreibt Denise! Danke danke danke!

I will start my review in the same way I will end it! Wow! Denise and Yannis are the best hosts I met in my life, they are so helpful, kind, fun and loving people, in the begining I had doubts that the boat is small but once you enter and feel the vibe and atmosphere you forget everything and you sometimes don't wanna leave it and go to the city or beach, nothing beats waking up to a breakfast in the open air surrounded by water everywhere, Yannis is amazing chef as well, it is the best value for money and best people you will meet! Don't think twice if you see this ad! Wow again and I will surly go back to this boat and my new friends!

Well... Where do I even start!! Myself and my partner have just got back from 7 days on board Aiolis and it was by the far the best holiday we have had together. To say the boat is beautiful would be an understatement, It stands out from any other yacht of its kind! It is spacious, homely, comfortable and practical. Walking out onto the deck every morning to look out at the sea and bathe in the sun was out of this world! I could not, of asked for more. But even more special than the boat itself was our hosts... Denise and Yannis were two of the most kindest, funny and interesting people I have personally met. It was what made this trip even more special for us. Denise was constantly going above and beyond her duites (even though we would tell her she didn't need to!). We had lots of very interesting conversations and laughed a LOT! Yannis is a phenomenal cook! He took me fishing at the Tourlos Port and we caught a Baracuda which we then took back and he cooked a risotto dish with greek yoghurt and, of course the Baracuda. It was out of this world! I could not speak more highly of the boat, the location and Dennise and Yannis. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone considering staying on a boat. Thank you SO much to both of you for providing us with an unforgettable week! We will miss you lots, but we will be back!! :)

THANK YOU DENISE & YANNIS! This was my best experience ever! The handmade sail boat is unlike any other boat at the port--it was absolutely beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It wasn't just a place to stay-- they made us feel like a part of their family, and provided for everything that we could possibly imagine. Our hosts went out of their way to help my boyfriend and I plan our trip, took us to stunning beaches, made delicious snacks, and welcomed us to Greece! Also, they have a great dog and the best dance moves around : )

We have stayed 2 nights in the yacht. Denise and Yannis are 2 very nice&friendly hosts. They gave us great advices, were very helpful (picked us up at the airport and dropped us to the port), they helped us renting a motorbike... The room is comfortable enough and very clean. Yannis is also a very good cook, we pretty much enjoyed the brunch style breakfast with the fresh orange juice!

This listing was one of my best experiences. Denise and Yannis were by far some of the best hosts that I've had so far. The sailboat was very nice compared to the other ones at the main port in Mykonos and has all of the amenities that you would expect, and more. Denise helps with every part of your trip by helping you book everything you may want, such as renting ATV's or scooters, finding scuba/snorkeling gear, sending you to AMAZING private beaches, finding nice places to eat and finding you the best night life; she is also very helpful in getting you there cheaply by either driving you or by finding you a cheap car or ATV. Yannis is around a bit less, but makes the best meals any time you would like to eat on the boat. Both of them are very easy to reach and speak good English as well as decent Spanish. When I first booked this, I was a little skeptical, as you may be, however by the time the trip was over, I didn't want to leave, and you won't want to either.

I truly enjoyed to stay with Denis&Yannis, the place was exactly as described and shown in pictures, they were really helpful and always super kind and easy going. What I loved most was the atmosphere on the boat, I suddenly felt like at home. It definitely changed my holidays bringing it to a higher level. Yannis breakfast is unbeatable, and he s really a great guy. The best :)

We decided to try something new and we weren't sure about what to expect! It turned out to be one of the best experience we've had. Denise and Yannis have been very warm hosts making sure we had the best experience possible. They came to the port to pick us up, they suggested the best spots of the island (they know it very well), they booked for us a really nice restaurant and helped us with renting a moped. Regarding the boat, it is just amazing. It is hand made and of the highest standards. We slept very well in our cabin and we really enjoyed our stay. In the mornings we had amazing breakfast on board that Denise kindly prepared for us, the perfect way to start the day on an island! Aiolis is without any doubts the perfect experience to enjoy the beauty of Greece!
