Never Again
It’s not a cruise. It’s just a ferry. They transfer you and that’s it. You’re on your own. Their customer support is a joke. The person who returned my call two hours later was impolite and should not be talking to people. I’d rather book ferries on my own and spend the time on my own pace. There are plenty of other options.

Nice boat ride to two interesting Greek islands
It's more of a boat ride than a tour. Pick up was relatively easy from Paros then the boat ride to Delos. We disembarked but then we were on our own to walk amongst the ruins for 3 hours. No guide was included in the trip. We then took another boat ride to Mykonos and had lunch and then walked around. Again about 3 hours with no guide. It worked out fine for our needs. We were able to see two different islands in one day trip. By the way, the boat is relatively big as there were at least 50 people on board. No problem with the slightly heavy seas that we had that day.

Do NOT book in advance!
Do NOT book in advance. I did and ended up with stomach flu and cancelled 23 hours in advance. Totally beyond my control. They would not refund the money and apologized for my illness but said it’s beyond their control unless 24 hours in advance. They offered an open ticket but obviously can’t use it. So out the money due to illness. Took them long enough to reply. Would never recommend them. Buyer beware!!
Response from the operator: Dear Karen, To begin with , we are very disappointed with your health issues but we would like to explain some things to you because your review is not exact and valid. First of all, you bought the ticket from another platform not directly from our office or our website. The cancellation policy is very loose , that means you can cancel up to 24 hours before the starting time. It's the most convenient and simple cancellation policy for summer activities. If you had booked directly by us you would have known that before your payment. In addition, we are at the high season of the summer. Could you tell us if there is any reservation for a hotel, airbnb , sea activity or daily cruises which you can cancel freely some hours before the activity without charge? Of course not, especially in the accommodation level ( there is a very strict cancellation policy ) and our policy is up 24 hours in advance. Could you imagine what would happen if all the guests could cancel the activities any time? You can come in contact with the reseller in which you bought the ticket and you can check why you do not know our cancellation policy. From our point of view we gave you free tickets instead of losing your money for our future activities. If you cannot appreciate it, we are sad about that but it's the best that we can do for you. We hope all the guests read this review and our reply too! Thank you very much! We hope that you get well soon because this is the most important thing for you right now! Kindest regards, Alexander team!

It was great
Everything was great on the trip to Santorini. We had a great time, the lady from the bus gave us advices where exactly to go for good photo places, otherwise you can miss good shots due to the crowds in July. The sales manager in the office in Naxos, a nice guy called Panos, is a good local guide, he gave us a lot of advices - when to go on a trip, how will be the weather, the waves, which day it's worth it, which day it will be bad experience, also totally non related advices for locations on the islands, where to go, what to do, etc. Even if you do not plan to go on a trip, it's a good idea to visit (office near the port). Imo it's not needed to book anything in advance, just go to Panos.

Highly recommended
We had a superb day visiting Santorini from Naxos with Alexander Cruises. What a slick well organised operation. Comfy seats, air conditioned, exceptionally clean facilities and a great little bar, all the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. A coach and guide took us to Fira and then we independently caught a public bus to Oia. The guide explained where we had to meet to return to the bus in Fira and then back to the ship. We had 6.5 hrs on Santorini and it really was with every penny….a great experience and thank you Alexander cruises.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cruises to Delos-Mykonos, Santorini and Koufonisi by Alexander: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paros.
How much does Cruises to Delos-Mykonos, Santorini and Koufonisi by Alexander cost?
+
Prices start at $59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paros usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cruises to Delos-Mykonos, Santorini and Koufonisi by Alexander take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paros is not rushed.
Is Cruises to Delos-Mykonos, Santorini and Koufonisi by Alexander worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 56 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paros, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cruises to Delos-Mykonos, Santorini and Koufonisi by Alexander?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cruises to Delos-Mykonos, Santorini and Koufonisi by Alexander suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cruises to Delos-Mykonos, Santorini and Koufonisi by Alexander?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paros can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paros and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cruises to Delos-Mykonos, Santorini and Koufonisi by Alexander start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paros within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paros?
+
On Outty we rank every Paros experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Cruise Explore Paros Antiparos and Despotiko, Catamaran Semi Cruise Paros Antiparos includes Food and Drinks, BL A boat Trip To Blue Lagoon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paros?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paros?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
