We had a great time. There are 4 swim stops and one stop at Kekove. The stop at kekove harbor is one hour. I hope they can make it 90 minutes. Climbing to the castle is not an easy task. We don’t have any time left to do shopping. But anything, we had a great time swimming in crystal clear water. Relaxing on boat. Food is not that great which is not surprising

Had an unique and luxurious experience with captain Hassan. Enjoyed the whole boat by myself. The view of castle and sunken city is absolutely breathtaking. Worth it!

It was a lot of fun, a great day all round! If you are looking for adventure and beautiful beaches, you should not miss this promotion.

Good trip, enough stops. I had a good time. Lunch was OK, not too special, but certainly not bad at all. Visiting very nice locations.

Such a fun and relaxing time with plenty of opportunity to swim in clear blue water!! A must when in Kas
