Frequently asked questions
Are there any special costs in Greece I should be aware of?
Your gulet cruise price is always a combination of this things:
1) Charter price of the gulet: this normally includes rental of a gulet with crew. Fuel in Greece is usually not included in price and on top of the charter price you will also have to pay VAT, which is 8,5% on top of charter price.
2) Food payment: this is always extra cost and it depends on the clients wishes. Greece also has a bit different concept here. You pay APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) on top of charter price, which is normally 20% and up to 30% extra on top of charter price. From this money crew pays for food, drinks, port taxes and other expenses. If you spend more than this money, you have to pay extra, if you spend less then this money, you get it back. You are of course presented with all the invoices of the expenditures.
3) Drinks payment: most of the times drinks are paid from APA, however some gulets also sell drinks from ships bar. You will be notified about this always already when we send you offers for your gulet cruise.
4) Tips: tips in Greece are similar then in Croatia. If you are extremely happy with the services you can tip up to 10%. If you are happy you can tip around 5% from charter price if you are not so happy you can also tip les or not at all.
6) Extra trips, taxi boats, spenditures out of gulet: if you ever take a taxi if you join some extra trip outside of the gulet, go to national park or spend money on souvenirs or restaurants out of the gulet – this are the clients costs.
