    Yannis was perfect. We had a wonderful day discovering some of the most wonderful places in the world. Yannis was very attentive, and we had a great time with him. If we return to Crete, we'll do exactly the same thing ?

    Special mention to Captain Giannis. We had a very windy day with waves (up to 2 meters), and he handled the boat very well. I would definitely book with him again. The only thing I didn't like is that the ad says fuel is included, but then says it isn't. I thought it was excessive to pay an extra €80. Still, we enjoyed the experience. One thing to improve: instead of wine, some aperitif beers would be better.

    Excellent day with Dimitris who showed us the magnificent beach of Balos, the island of Gramvousa and small coves off the beaten track. I recommend it.
