The sailing experience on the Zalina with the crew Captain Stathis and Dimitris could not have been more relaxing and enjoyable. Which includes the authentic and healthy food! From port to port, from bay to bay, on the boat or in the water, we felt safe and take care of. I could definitely do it again!

1st of August to 8th of August 2026

Stathis and Dimitris,
This trip was in honor of my mother, who passed one year ago at 89. She loved to travel, and loved that we took our kids to interesting places from a young age. She left us with that love, and with a bit of money to take the sort of trip we could only dream of.  Your understated style was a perfect fit for us, as was your enthusiasm for the islands and making us comfortable at every moment. I can barely stand to live with three teenagers, and you both did it with great patience and enthusiasm. Wonderful recommendations for things to do on each island, and thoughtful  consideration of the itinerary. Zalina was the perfect home for us for a week together. I'm sure we'll send our grandkinds to enjoy her easy, welcoming presence one day!
Thanks for your responsive service throught the trip!
P.S. Thanks for finding a guitar!

This was my second time in Greece, but the first time seeing the islands from the water at a slow and tranquil pace.
Absolutely spectacular!!! You took us to the most beautiful coves, and small towns. The beatiful blue lagoon, clear turquoise waters, unforgettable views, charming villages, and the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen here in Greece. It is my truly paradise.

Your local knowledge, finding us wonderful places to eat, Maro, your family recipies are delcious. What incredible food! Captain Stathis, you took such good care of us as we crossed over and back to the Cyclades.
Such kindness, warmth, and a true love for your islands, Greece is the best!

Now, I'm dreaming of a 3rd time!
It's been a wonderful week. The only bad part, is that is comes to an end. My friends and i enjoyed it all, the food, food, food was really really good. What will i do when i get home and don't have 6 plates for breakfast? Thank you for lunches. Until we meet again!

This week has been about so many dreams come true! Sailing Greece with my amazing family was made brilliant every day,thanks to Stathis & Ioanna. This 'dynamic duo' made every day memorable, marvellous and fun. The hospitality was detailed and thoughtful, the food delicious, comfortable beds and spectacular scenery and swimming.
Thank you for showing gorgeous Greece with us.

Dear Captain Stathis and Ioanna,
Seven days, seven nights upon the sea with Captain Stathis steering skillfully. Through Hydra's charm and Aegina' grace, he found each perfect anchoring place. The sails went up with morning light, a glorious and stirring sight, while turquoise, blue and emerald waves, danced around our island days.
Sweet Ioanna, angel of the gallery, fed us fetta by the alley. Breakfast fit for gods on high beneath the endless Grecian sky.
We paddleboarded, swam and played, with seabob adventures daily, made for Poros shares to Dokos Bay, to Moni's peaceful hidden way. Thtough Chenesar's waters crystal clear, Captain's parking skill, we cheer! No dock too tight, no cove too small, he mastered evey mooring call. Greek hospitality wrapped us tight. In cuisine dreams and starlight night.
Dear Stathis and Ioanna true, our Saronic magic came from you.

8th of July to 15th of July

Dear Stathis and Joanna,
We shared a wonderful, unforgettable experience on board of the Zalina last week together and thanks to you!
For the kids Arthur (10), Caroline (15) and Josephine (17), it was the first trip on a sailing boat. Stathis made it always fun for them, preparing all the toys , Sup , e-surfboard, floatable seat, from the moment we arrived and anchored.
Stathis showed us incredible beautiful hidden bays to swim and seen overnight. We were really impressed and defintely want to see more of Greece.
Stathis choose the trip carefully to avoid sea sickness , but at the same time , made sure that we had some very nice sailing distance. It helped me relax completely.
Our hostess Joanna prepared for us 3 five star (5*) meals daily, always with a nice Greece taste and a big selection. Even for a healthy Belgian family it was often too much to finish all, despite of the delicious taste!
Joanna was a lovely , friendly , smiley and above all , attent hostess, always ready with drinks , bites and a lots of healthy fruit.
We are going to miss her hospitality!
Thank you for ZALINA, Stathis and Joanna for bringing us these everlasting beautiful memories!
Love Isabelle

Dear Joanna and Stathis,

I will miss you!

Your passion for sailing really showed in every detail , and you always made us feel safe.

Joanna, your warmth, kindness and constant readiness to help and care for us, made us feel special. Your help made all the difference from food to great experience.

13th of June to 20th June 2025

We had a wonderful 7-night trip aboard Zalina and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Captain Stathis and Ioanna provided exceptional hospitality and service throughout our journey - they were thoughtful, attentive and constantly went the extra mile to ensure we are comfortable, safe, well-fed and truly enjoying our vacation. 
Captain Stathis is a terrific captain; he made great recommendations for destinations and ensured we visited all the places we had hoped to see, while also introducing us to some hidden gems we wouldn't have discovered on our own.
Ioanna's cooking was absolutely superb, and her care was flawless - like a true Greek Mom she made sure we were always looked after and never went without.
We absolutely loved our trip and can't wait to come back, next time with our kids!!!
Thank you for all the memories!!
David & Andrew
