This is the best way to see Balos Beach and Gramvous. We beat the crowds from the cruise ships that arrived and had the areas to ourselves. We were able to decide how long we wanted to spend at each location. We had Giorgis as our captain and he was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. The boat we travelled in was well maintained and in great condition. Highly recommend. Thank you Giorgis!

We (a family of 2 adults, 17y boy, 10y girl and 8y boy) loved it! The captain was super friendly and helpful, took photos and made videos of us. And although the description did not mention any food or beverages, he had sandwiches and soft drinks for us! Highly recommended!
