ABOUT US

Our Story

A Dream Born from the Sea

Captain Panos, the heart behind Odyssia Daily Cruises, grew up by the shores of Thassos. From an early age, the sea was his playground, his passion, and his teacher.

After more than 20 years navigating the world’s oceans, across the Aegean, Adriatic, North Sea, and Baltic and over 40 years of maritime experience, Captain Panos wanted to share the island’s hidden gems with visitors — not on crowded tourist boats, but through intimate, personal voyages.

And so, Odyssia Daily Cruises was born:
A company built on love for the sea, for Thassos, and for providing exclusive private cruises that feel like your own personal odyssey.

Our name, Odyssia, pays homage to the great Greek adventures of old — journeys filled with beauty, discovery, and freedom.
When you sail with us, you create your own story.
