How does spending a day soaking up the sunshine, swimming and a spot of lunch sound? Perfect is what we're guessing. You'll hop from Kos to the isles of Pserimos, Kalymnos and Plati, with free time to relax, explore, browse for souvenirs or swim offshore. Utter bliss.

The islands to the north of Kos are dotted with peaceful coves, sandy beaches and cute harbours. And they're exactly where you'll be spending the day on this Aegean cruise. There'll be three stops throughout the day, when you'll have plenty of time to swim if you wish. And you'll step ashore at Pserimos and Vathi on Kalymnos.

Vathi boasts a picturesque, horseshoe-shaped bay with calm waters and a pretty town, it's the ideal place for some doing a bit of wandering. We'll drop into a typical taverna for a lunch of pork souvlaki, rice, potatoes, Greek salad and tzatziki. The vegetarian option has spaghetti with tomato sauce and Greek salad. Rounding off the day is a swim stop off Plati. All you have to do is bring your sun cream and towel.
