The staff, including Dora, were very kind and communicated smoothly. During the 10-hour tour, Dora took care of us very carefully and entertained us with a detailed explanation of Milos. Therefore, I was able to enjoy the tour without losing track of time. They also provided snacks, pasta, and fruits and drinks for dessert. I had a fantastic time swimming around the main spot around Milos. I highly recommend this tour!
