Thank you very much for the unforgettable week.

To the wonderful Elena crew,
Thank you for all the incredible ten days filled with amazing Greek food, beautiful scenery, crystal clear swiming spots and unforgetable memories.
Thank you for your endless patience with our many requests. San Pelegrino's, green teas, black coca cola and every greek delicacy and dessert. You always took such great care of us.
Our adventure to Monemvasia and the children's boat ‘’camping'' will be unforgetable.
Keeping 18 people across three generations happy is no easy task, but your professionalism, kindness and flexibility made it seem effortless. Thank you for going above and beyond to make this trip so special.
With heartfelt thanks

To our lovely Captain Apostoli and crew,
Dear Captain Apostolis and crew,
Thank you very much for the unforgettable week.
We had the best time with this top class crew of Captain Apostolis. Every member of his team must surely be handpicked. Nothing was too much trouble for this team, always anticipating the needs of the guests. One could sail all the Aegean, Mediterranean & Ionian seas and not find a better crew to show visitors the beauty of the Greek islands .
We had the best time on this yacht, made extra special by the people who took care of us , and take away memories that will last a lifetime. The smiles on our faces will remain for the next few weeks.
Thank you from all of us

Grab the moment! We would have missed a memorable experience if we had said "no" to Jan & Peter's invitation to join them on this beautiful boat ,built with care love and perfection by Captain Tolis. He and his crew have taken such care to make the 6 days the best possible with special islands to visit, swims in balmy waters, delicious meals and wine, wine wine! Angela our love and thanks to the cew too!
What more can I say on the above that says it all! Thank you Toli and your crew for another fabulous opportunity to hit the seas on Elena ! love Bernie
p.s and as you maneuvered Elena into that tiny "parking lot" in Spetses harbor just seeing the look of awe on the faces of the crew in the next spot was worth a million, I also heard the captain point you out and saying you were the BEST! You certainly are the best of the best!! Many more years of the best sailing ever!
To the best crew of the Elena - Zoi, Jimmy, Kiriakos(the excellent cook), Captain Petros & finally Admiral Tolis for making our trip so memorable and of course Anna as auxiliary helper & translator. Thank you all very much - we had a great time!
