Avis POLOS TOURS Parikiá

Polo Travel has been around for years. My parents remember going there when they were younger and travelling Greece over 30 years ago. That's why my Mum and I decided to pop in to get our ferry tickets from here. on the 18th of July.

We were wanting to get tickets for the Caldera Vista from Paros to Naxos, so we asked if there were tickets for it.
The person said "No".
We asked "Why is it full?"
He said "No, it is not full," and then went on to say several things, which I will evaluate each of below.

"The boat is small"
"The weather is bad"
"It is not safe"

The boat we were catching was the Caldera Vista. It is 74m by 26m. It is not the largest Greek ferry, but it is by no means a small catamaran. It is bigger than a flying Dolphin or a flying cat. This however, I suppose is relative, and I am willing to concede this point.

"The weather is bad" - weather on that day was not bad. There were 1m waves (according to Poseidon weather) along the route the boat took, and I know that Paros was only it's second stop as it started it's route that morning from Syros.

"It is not safe" - this is the point I contest most and why I am writing this review. The ship is categorically safe in these weather conditions. Saying it isn't is lying, either out of ignorance or malice. A much smaller ship also did this route the same day an hour later called "Sifnos Jet", it had no large issues either. It was entirely safe and I still do not know the exact reason the staff member said this.

The staff member then said when pushed by us that if we "really want to" he would do the ticket. I decided however to go down the road and use a competitor, who confirmed that the weather and boat was fine for the day we wanted to buy tickets for.
