An onlooker said that the party arrived on Paralia Seralia beach by dinghy – having come from a luxury yacht docked nearby.
The fellow dinner, who asked to remain anonymous, said: ‘I’m not one to get very starstruck – but seeing Obama in the flesh and so close was pretty surreal.

‘Their presence was pretty overwhelming and that definitely wasn’t lessened by the excessive security – who we even had to ask if we could use the restroom.’
Barack was seen wearing a black, button down top for the outing, while Tom opted for a more casual look in a dark hoodie.
Harvard graduate Malia, who is currently pursuing a job as a screenwriter, donned a long, flowing patchwork skirt and a cream cardigan, while her younger sister, Sasha, who recently completed her studies at USC, wore a bright blue outfit and similar-colored sweater.
Michelle’s ensemble was not visible from the angle the photos were taken. As for Rita, she was seen in a blue, kimono-like dress with an intricate bird design.

The actor and the former President have been close for a while now, and this actually isn’t the first time that they’ve gone on holiday together.

It’s unclear when they first got to know each other, but back in 2016, Barack awarded Tom with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
At the time, he stated in his speech that the Forrest Gump alum had ‘touched him in a very powerful, personal way.’
They were then seen vacationing together alongside Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Springsteen on a yacht off the coast of Tahiti in April 2017.
One year after that, Barack attended Tom and Rita’s 30th anniversary party in Hollywood, and in May 2021, the father-of-two was seen entering Tom’s house for another gathering.
