The boat anchors a few meters outside the small bay of Agios Nikolaos, it lowers down a ladder in the water and from there you can swim a distance of about 20 meters to get to the famous mud baths of Palaia Kameni which are believed to have beneficial abilities for the skin and other diseases. The water temperature is 30-35 degrees but it constantly mixes with seawater. The boat remains here for about 30 minutes for swimming. It`s quite a time since there is no beach on the small island where you can stay for a while. In continuation of the tour,the boat sails to the island of Thirassia.

Lack of communication on all tours. Having to go to a second company to answer all our questions instead of going directly to TourRadar. You should not source your services.
Everything was excellent. The
hotels, excursions, transfers to every location and the customer service. Communication was very effective. I highly recommend Tourradar.
I really enjoy this tour, all was arranged for us without the pressure of the tour guide. Great hotels, great comunication.
We enjoyed the experience but there were definitely a few mishaps which needed to be resolved. Positives were the day tours booked in Santorini and Mykonos, absolutely great days which were highlights of our trip. Two out of three of our hotels were different to the ones listed – which was fine, but one was a 3 star in Athens which was a bit disappointing given the name of the tour referring to 4 star hotels. Both hotels in Santorini and Mykonos were beautiful though. We did have issues with transport not being booked for the day tour included in Athens, and had to reach out to rectify this. I think this tour could be improved with more active communication from tour radar and a more detailed itinerary so where knew where to be for transport and when it was booked. We had to ask for a taxi to be booked for our Athens tour as the meet up spot was a 45 minute walk away and this wasn’t communicated to us earlier, but then the taxi never showed up due to road works. I understand things happen but we were never told by your radar about this and had to rush last minute to catch the train to our location once we realised the taxi wasn’t going to show. We also had no information about how to get our ferry tickets and had to ask for instructions. I did get in touch with tour radar and let them know about our disappointments and they did send us a nice bottle of wine and fruit platter afterwards, and we appreciated the sentiment. Overall it was a good tour, but the communication could be improved 🙂
I am convinced that Dot Travel Greece excessively priced this tour. The services offered are not commensurate with the amount I paid. When I raised this concern with the operator, rather than providing transparency, I encountered condescension with the response, “You were not obliged to book; it was a choice.”
I will never use them again.
