Top - We had an amazing family afternoon with Captain Giannis. He showed us great places. We even saw turtles, even though it wasn't season. The Keri caves are spectacular. Captain Giannis has great fun showing the beauty of the island and is great at dealing with children. Definitely a highlight of our holidays. I can highly recommend this company. Already the reception was so warm and very open and flexible. Definitely book 3 hours:-).

No Captain, No Here - I gave 5 stars just because there are no options to give more... Calypso exceeded any possible expectations. The boats are clean and renovated, the personnel is really ponctual, and they really mean what they say when putting the name of the cruise "hidden gem". Laura, which is the commander there, is very kind, supportive and professional. The easiest way to reach them is by whatsapp but feel free to call, they will answer. The best part for sure was the skipper. Makis (sorry if I mistaken your name, my brother) is a real tv series character. He drives since he was 9, so not only is skilfull but also knows every centimeter of the sea. You are going to talk 50% greek 20% italian em 30% english with him, which makes the trip so fun. Relax, because the main instructions and words in english he fully comprehends. He takes you to places that other skippers don't, and this fact is visible. There was a phrase many times said "no captain, no here", hahahah. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED! Will be back in Zak and for sure will cruise again with Laura, Makis and team. Cheers from Brazil!

Private family boat tour in paradise - Our family of four did the private 3 hour tour of turtle watching and a stop to an island beach for swimming and snorkelling. It was amazing. We saw the turtles and had a lovely morning on a secluded beach. The small tour is much better than the huge overcrowded boats. And we started at 9am before it’s too busy and too hot! Our captain was friendly and it was just an impeccable and seamless tour.

Best trip of our holiday! - We had an incredible morning out on the 7 seater boat with Giannis. He took us out at 9am for a turtle spotting and Keri Caves tour with our 2 children aged 4and 6 who had not been on a boat before. Within minutes the children were totally at ease, lying at the front of the boat and loving every minute! We saw 3 Sea turtles within half an hour which was incredible, then onto the nesting beach for a swim, then onto the Keri Caves for another snorkel. The 2 hour trip was perfect for our young family, and couldn’t recommend Calypso enough, thank you so much for a fantastic holiday experience!

Five star operator! - Absolutely great tour of the bay, turtle island, the local caves, and of course the turtles! Our captain took us to see the turtles within 10 minutes after leaving the dock. We were also late but they held the boat for us. Tour operator is very kind and flexible. Boat was a good size to accommodate our party of 5. Only thing to be aware of is that this location is a bit far from the cruise port so budget some extra time to get there and to get back. Highly recommend this operator though.

Private is more information - It was stunning! ‘Justin’ was our captain and was nice and told us a lot of things. The boys saw some turtles and got into the water for a swim at an exeptable distance.
