I really enjoyed this trip! I went on my own and there were a few other solo travellers, couples and families etc. The boat wasn’t too busy, plenty of drinks (squash, water, wine, even some raki to try). We were given a roll for breakfast and we had an apple after lunch (which was fish, chicken and salad). Maybe bring more snacks if you’re likely to get hungry. The tour itself was great, I really enjoyed my time on each island and the staff on board were really helpful and friendly. It was definitely relaxing and worth the money in my opinion. Thank you for a great day!

Loved this trip. Suitable for families, couples, old and young. Fantastic crew looking after us, refreshments available all day - including red and white wine. Three stops in total; stop one is perfect for swimming and exploring, stop two is lunch - grilled chicken breast and/or fish with salad (very nice). If I had one criticism, it would be that the third stop was not really needed (in my opinion).

Nous avons passé un très bon moment, tout était très bien organisé. Les paysages sont exceptionnels, les arrêts sont laissent le temps d’aller se promener et de se baigner. A prévoir (même en octobre): - maillots de bain - serviettes - argent liquide car les boissons (café, thé, coca, etc..) sont payantes à bord

Loved it! We were served food, water, wine and juice. Kristina was very nice and helpful. The boat itself it’s quite old and not really comfortable but for the price is ok. Visited places were beautiful but it would be to stay a little bit longer. Overall good value for money.

Very pleasant excursion of very very beautiful landscape Too bad the breakfast and lunch are not up to the excursion
