Her knowledge along with her welcoming and kind attitude made her a fabulous guide. The scenery was among the most beautiful I have ever seen! Absolutely spectacular!

It is also quite nice that the catamaran was not that big so that the trip was not so crowded & it helped enjoying even more. Food could be a bit better but nothing worth to complain there, fantastic times!”
Snorkel and swim in crystal clear Mirabello Bay on a half day cruise from Agios Nikolaos, with raki, fruit, Kolokytha, Spinalonga.
“I didn’t really meat the guide as I believe it’s a big boat with several of them on the duty. But this excursion was worth EVERY penny. We all loved it. Honestly, I have major motion sickness but the boat is big enough and doesn’t go long enough before it gets tough on my stomach. Every time it would get a bit rough, the boat would pause and let us out to play in the water. And my goodness the water is gorgeous. I would hands down, re-do this activity every day.”

Elounda boat trip from Heraklion: Kolokytha swim, Spinalonga views, BBQ lunch, olive oil tasting, and free time in Agios Nikolaos.
“Really good experience and well worth the cost. Personally I thought you got a lot for the money. With transfers it was a full days excursion. Spinalonga was lovely, the tour was really informative. €20 for entry but for a UNESCO site - that’s pretty good. Lovely Olive oil co-op and factory. Also very interesting and reasonably priced if you decide to buy (no hard sell just delicious). I recommend wearing proper closed toe footwear. I wore sandals and would have been more comfortable with trainers or shoes but that was a personal recommendation. Overall great day, great tour guide and great coach driver too. 10/10.”

“It seemed to be more about sitting on the beach…an hour and a half right after we got on the boat. The guide was difficult to hear. Overall not very enjoyable.”
