    Dear Alex and Konstantina,  Thank you both so much for taking on the care of the “Command Vessel” for our fleet of 5 catamarans causing a bunch of crazy swimmers from the US. Although the winds kicked up during our final 3 days, securing in a long, bumpy ride home, we appreciated your flexibility in getting us down to Santorini, with refreshing swim stops and visits to other beautiful islands and villages along the way. It was particularly enjoyable experiencing Konstantina’s Greek cuisine which really rounded out our entire experience. I am also walking away armed with the knowledge and input you provided to plan a return visit –there is so much to see!!! All the best and wishing you plenty of smooth sailing ahead! –Paula, San Diego, CA, USA
  • Σεπτέμβριος 2015
    Alex and Konstantina,What a wonderful week we have had with you! You made everything special. Out meals were so delicious and unique to Greece. We loved that. And all your great advise of where to go and what to do. And helping us get transportation. And for maneuvering this boat in and out of every port, slip and pier. We felt safe at all time! Thank you so much and God bless you both! –Kim and RandyPS. Alex thank you for letting me drive the boat especially through the narrow channels. Konstantina your ouzo milkshakes are the best – Randy
  • Σεπτέμβριος 2015
    Thank you for making our vacation so wonderful. Great food and travel. First time in the islands and loved every minute. You two made our trip! – Chris and Kelly
  • Σεπτέμβριος 2015
    Alex and Konstantina,You both have made our trip especially nice. Thank you for showing us the island, preparing wonderful meals and most importantly putting up with our Crew! This has been a trip we’ll always remember. Thanks so much!- Heidi and Brian, Denver, Colorado
  • Σεπτέμβριος 2015
    Dear Alex and Konstantina,It was all too perfect. In fact our only complaint was that it was just too perfect. The full moon over Poros too bright, too beautiful. The sunset drinks in Hydra too perfectly timed. The streets of Spetses and Sifnos too charming. The meltemi winds as we crossed over to the Cyclades too wild and wonderful. Each little cove and bay you found for us around Polyaigos and Kimolos too utterly sublime –each more beautiful than the next. The food –far far too delicious! And now we must go back. But our lives are fuller and more complete for this wonderful week we have spent in your gracious company. Thank you, thank you, thank you! – Patricia and David Vos
  • Αύγουστος 2015
    Dear Alex and Konstantina,Thank you for a wonderful week. We really enjoyed our time in the Cyclades and the Peloponnese. The food was fabulous and we loved the many great family moments along the way. –Jane, Jenna, James, Fergal, Hugo, Jack
  • Αύγουστος 2015
    Dear Konstantina and Alex,We had a wonderful week aboard Idea! We started in Paros where we has to stay for a while waiting for the missing luggage. Alex showed us the most beautiful spots to swim and sailed us to the western Cyclades and then to the Saronic Islands. The children enjoyed the watersports very much. And every day we ate like Queens and Kings. Konstantina cooked all the delicious Greek dishes for us and really spoiled us. The dakos, pasticcio, fish, mussels, prawns, different salads and and and...! Not to forget the Mojito! Thank you to the both of you for an unforgettable week! You are great hostess and captain! We felt very much like home. –Bignia, Laurin, Lavinia, Norina
  • Αύγουστος 2015
    Thank you for such a spectacular week at sea! The kindness and knowledge you showed was simply amazing and we felt like Kings and Queens! I especially want to thank you both for your patience and love toward Sophia –a very excited 4 year old. You have helped us make memories of a lifetime and we can’t thank you enough! With sincere appreciation, Jennifer, Alexander and Sophia
  • Αύγουστος 2015
    Alexandros & Konstantina,Early in April of this year my brother Alec sail “Let’s go sailing in Greece”. He and his wife Jennifer and daughter Sophia invited us to go with them and I excitedly agreed. We has many missteps in the planning, at times it felt it was not to be. Finally, our two families met at the boat and the adventure ensued. We swam, we sailed, we ate and drank and laughed. None of us had ever had a trip like this before, where we were pampered and catered to so well.

    Konstantina when you set the table the first night, we began to understand what we were in for – some amazing food and an exceptional dining experience. Alex, from the first day when you made adjustments and arrangements to meet our luggage, we knew we were in capable hands. Highlights: Massive servings of pastitsio, watching Liam eat fish eyes, watching Sophia drive the boats, watching Alex be sweet with Sophia, fire dancers in Naoussa, sleeping on deck during the Perseid meteor shower, boating into a cave... Efxaristo poli for a fantastic week! –Amy, Mark, Liam and Brenna

  • Ιούλιος 2015
    Thank you Konstantina & Alex for a great 2 weeks. The seamanship and cuisine were superb. Highlights for us were the mooring in Hydra, the rescue of the anchor, infact of many onlookers, the amazing cuisine and Konstantina’s eternal smile. Other great successes enjoyed by the children were the doughnut, kayak, clear waters and the never ending sunsets. Recommended visits the Hot Springs in Oia, Little Venice in Mykonos and my favorite plane wreck at Iraklia. –Edward, Lizzy, Harry, Alice & William
  • Ιούλιος 2015
    Speedy skipper Alex smiled and charmed us through choppy and quiet waters (perhaps controlled by Zeus and his Gods whose huge, long deep breaths blew in gusts of range –screeching and screaming when at rest). The Dustan Family felt totally secure with Alex’s very experiences skills of a young sea dog. In addition, Konstantina smiled 99.95% of the time and did ALL that was asked of her and more with very useful on shore advice.

    We loved the Greek food –a wonderful introduction to Greece and the Cyclades. A very balanced trip, tasting the culture and offerings of many islands –everlasting memories of diversity (the steep narrow streets and steps, sheltered by freshly painted white walls, blue painted wood and decorative red geraniums and vines. A HUGE THANK YOU to the crew/team of Idea! BRAVO! Impressed with the team spirit and comradeship of Alex and countless friends everywhere helped us squeeze into unexpected places. Total Distance: 430 Nautical Miles –perhaps OTT!!! Top Speed: 12.3 Knots.

    Alex and Maria,Thank you for making out trip so much more wonderful that we could have imagined. Even though we were quite substantial, Maria managed to had us with her gourmet style!! The Great food and service was absolutely “ Amazing ...we are moving to Greece”! Our confident captain Alex made us feel safe and we are grateful to have been in such good hands with his sailing expertise! He turned the high winds and the large seas into a fun adventure rather than a cause for concern.

    Alex and Maria were such perfect crew and we felt so at home on this boat. It was truly like vacationing with family! We never felt like we were imposing with our requests or our many questions about sailing in general!
    We will miss our frappes but we will never eat another piece of “bread”! We will never forget this one of a kind trip with Alex and Maria! We don't want to leave but we must return home of... course! Thanks for all the laughs, beautiful sights and wonderful food.

    At the conclusion of our cruise with you on IDEA in June 2012 we were convinced that no catamaran holidays could ever surpass the magnificence of that one. How wrong we were!

As we come to the end of another 7 splendiferous days in your company on Idea we are once again so grateful for your caring, friendly, professional hospitality and expert seamanship and ability to impact his knowledge in such an effortless and interesting manner.

     I do not know where to begin. This week was intended to be a week of relaxation and to clean the mind of the stresses we have had to deal with over the past 31/2 years. From the moment we stepped on board IDEA our minds were free and now we depart from an adventure that surpassed any expectations we could possibly have dreamt. Alex we were so happy to have you back on board. You truly are a captain at heart and your expertise was displayed over and over again.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our wild days at Sea! What a bonus for us to have you with us. The bond you share with Alex is what a hope for Ben and Parken in the coming years. You belong at Sea and proved it countless times. We would be honored to have you or Alex at the helm on our next Grecian adventure! Thanks for helping me with my new camera and for skating your love for photography. A picture is worth a thousand words and we have many to prove it!

    Thank you for your patience and maternal instincts with the boys. Thank you for your persuasive ways of making sure Ben, Parker and George sampled so many so many Grecian specialties from the deck of IDEA and the waves of Aegean Sea, healing has begun and new beginnings are on the agenda.

    The swimming, snorkeling hikes, waterskiing, biking and top off with tennis just wow wow wow. The tireless success of Alex and Mike to bring the boys tubing…need I say anymore? A trip to remember indeed. A wish granted….could not have been any better. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts till we meet again…

     Thank you for an amazing week, we swam with fishes and jelly fishes! We saw dolphins and beautiful islands, beautiful boats, sea & people! We ate fabulous food; I can’t manage phyllo pastry on dry land let alone in moving boat.  Gin and tonics and delicious wines and amazing scrabbled eggs! We all had a great time. Thank you very much.

     Dear crew, Thank you so much for making our journey through these summer isles so great. Guys,thank you for answering in every of our questions. Thank you for every delicious meal, frappe, freddo, cappuccino you whipped up. And thanks even more for those late night cigarettes in Poros. Joe might worry for your health, but us Alex would say, “Don’t worry, it’s no problem”. Speaking of Joe, thank you most of all for not throwing him off the boat. We were very lucky to have had two crew members as kind, patient and fun as you.

    Thank you for my big, fat, Greek vacation! The wonderful cooking and margaritas have surely contributed to a few extra pounds. We have all dreamed of the vacation and both of you along with the beautiful Greek people have made this dream reality and a new memory never to be forgotten.  You must come to California and see our beautiful city and wine country.  The Bruzzone & Downes families will always treasure this vacation!

    Xoxo From Joseph!

    Thank you so much. You both made this trip absolutely wonderful. This experience has truly inspired me to want to live in Europe. I absolutely had the time of my life and will never forget either of you. I want to thank you for putting up with our crazy family. We all fell in love with you two and you must come out to California so we get a chance to host you!

    Thank you again for the excellent navigation, excellent cooking and most of all excellent company. We will miss you!

     Επαγγελματισμός και συνέπεια στο έπακρο.There was a boat that rocked across the Cyclades against the winds and dark seas led by legendary crew in the name of an IDEA. To be FREE! And we were FREE and young as Romanians are! Together with our Greek Friends we explored the mysteries of the ancient caves and old deserted temples across the islands that so heavily tried the strength and determination of Ulysses. We are leaving this fantastic place, changed, in our mind and thoughts bearing our rebased souls to the year to come for a NEW ADVENTURE.

     Σας ευχαριστούμε πολύ για το όμορφο ταξίδι στις Κυκλάδες, για τα μέρη που μας δείξατε, για το ανεξάντλητο χαμόγελο, και για τη φιλοξενία σας.

    Εύχομαι ο χρόνος να μας φέρει ξανά κοντά και να απολαύσουμε μαζί νέες ομορφιές της ελληνικής θάλασσας.

    Να είστε πάντα καλά!

    From Greek Team, Evita

     Hello Istion,

     Just wanted to let you know that IDEA is IDEAL

    We have had a most splendid holiday here in the Cyclades and most definitely want to return to the Greek Islands. Crew is amazing and have gone out of their way to make this trip unforgettable.

     Your smiling face and delicious cooking , what a treat. Alex is a master sailor, we are all of us in awe of his ability and his willingness to "make it happen" has not gone by unnoticed. The two of them have helped to make this trip surpass our wildest imaginations. We love them both.

     We started off in Mykonos so concerned that it was too windy to sail the entire week.

     They got us to the calmer waters of Paros and it got better and better.

     THANKS ISTION we will be back.

     I will call/email you when we are once again in Los Angeles

     Regards
