He’s also soo knowledgeable and we learned so much. The water felt AMAZING to swim in and a dream come true. I highly recommend this excursion. You will NOT be disappointed. OH!! and the homemade local greek dishes he made us for lunch, umm AHH-MAZING! one of the best meals we’ve had all trip!

This tour is the best tour me and my girlfriend have done. Captain makis and his crewmate pavlos were just amazing, they could really feel our atmosphere and what we wanted. The beach they brought us to was just stunning, and the food was one of the best we ate in our trip to greece. it was the most relaxing day in my life. To anyone who is considering to go to this tour, stop considering and just order, I promise you will not regret it.
