You know you're on holidays when you find yourself in sunshine with a balmy sea breeze washing over you. As lazy holiday mornings go, it's hard to beat this boat trip to the deserted islet of St George – known as ‘Rabbit Island' because it was once overrun with them. Hop on the boat at Petra port and enjoy a quick cruise over. Once there, you'll have time to sunbathe, swim or take selfies by the dinky chapel. Top it off with a tasty barbecue meal.

Jammer dat we zelf naar de haven moesten komen en dat er geen transfer werd aangeboden om in de haven te komen.

Lovely boat ride past some iconic Greek cities before heading to rabbit island, and if you’re lucky, you’ll see some rabbits yourself! The water was cool :) My only complaint would be the bees, be sure to bring some coffee or other spice to burn so the smoke is a deterrent. Otherwise, enjoy!

Heel lekker eten, leuk snorkelgebied, dolfijnen gespot. Omdat het desolaat is, kan je er niet naar toilet ( dat moet je erbij nemen) . Deze trip is een dikke aanrader. Mensen die bootziek zijn kunnen dit zeker aan want niet lang varen ( eventueel teavelgum bij apotheek kopen)

La croisière est très sympa et très simple. La nourriture est excellente. Mais nous n'avons pas eu de guide personnel. C'était une belle journée.
