How are island activities and excursions planned?

Does the captain speak English?

Both the skipper and hostess will certainly speak English. They will be happy to answer all your questions in regards to Greek food, culture, history, etc. They will also assist your party in choosing restaurants and ordering local specialties if you would like them to accompany you to dinner in the evenings.

Are there ATMs or banks?

Most islands have ATM’s and many restaurants accept credit card.  However,  on some of the small islands, it can be difficult to use credit card or find an ATM. We do recommend taking cash out while in Athens (the airport is the easiest location).
