I went to Rhodes with my boyfriend in July 2022 and it was the best experience of the whole holiday! The instructors are friendly and sociable, they guide you calmly right from stretching on the beach. It was nice to explore the coast by sea and learn so many curiosities! There have been many occasions in which beautiful souvenir photos have also been taken underwater. Before returning we had a delicious break inside a cave with so many delicacies prepared by them, what can I say? We even did an encore! Thank you very much indeed

We have booked the day cruise to Symi with Speedboat and I have to Say that it was one of the best vacations we have ever had.

Very nice trip, the departures and arrivals was on time despite the bad weather. I highly recommend this trip.

1h30 d'attente pour accéder au château avec un Pass "coupe-file"!

The trip was amazing despite the bad weather. Symi is amazing the low season with not so much tourists.

A nice day trip with friends and family to wonderful Symi.
