Theo BBQ Boat trip - How much and is it worth it?

(1/3) > >>

sian:
 ??? Ive been sent an email from my Thomson holiday thing and looking at the excursion they're offering "Theo's BBQ/Boat Ride" Im in 2 minds about going for it.
On the one hand it seems like a good day out - entertaining and food and drinks included ..
.. on the other hand I dont want to be sat on a boat crammed with 18 yr old tanned & chisselled girls and boys feeling like the pale flabby tourist!
I am a bit self concious I suppose but still - I cant seem to find any honest reviews about the trip that contain much useful info.

It appears to be rather expensive (£79 for the 2 of us) but inclusive of food and drinks that is good really. Theres also a "sundowner" trip that sounds nice for £48 per person. But I wonder if Sally will have something like that cheaper.

Plus I cant tell what hotels they pick up from - as we dont drive we cant hire a car. Thinking about hiring a boat one of the days though! :)

NO that'll be me and Yannis Sian  ;D

It appears that trips are better (and more cheaply) booked when you actiually get to SS

Went on the bbq boat trip several years ago.
Personal opinion is that its not worth the money.
Had to go to Corfu town to get the boat (1 1/2 hours by the time we had done pick ups)
Beach we were taken to had virtually no shade (not good in August!) very very few umbrellas.
Food was dreadful and there was very limited wine, retsina and beer (all a bit much in the heat and sun of mid day!) it wold have been fine sitting on a terrace or under a brolly.
On the way back the champagne diving was 3 bottles of cava chucked off the boat.

I would give it a miss, whether you book through Thomsons or take the cheaper option of booking through Noula at San Stef travel....

Lol Mikee - at least I wouldnt be the ONLY flabby pale tourist :)

As far as the bbq trip goes it would seem I can get better trips and cheaper from Sally and Noula in SS so I reckon I'll sort out what we're gonna do with them. I will have to email Sally again soon cos she told me she would have to come for a drink with us in the hotel one night.

Mikee:

Well I wouldn't exactly say I am FAT but I got run over by a taxi the other day whilst standing in the road ..

The cabbie said he would have driven round me ..... but he didn't have enough petrol  :D  :-\
