Tivemos uma experiência maravilhosa hoje com o Dimitri e a Jessica! Os dois foram extremamente educados, cordiais, gentis e muito atenciosos durante todo o passeio. Fizemos o passeio das 9h30, saindo do porto, e desde o primeiro momento fomos muito bem recebidos, inclusive com um delicioso café da manhã a bordo. Foram super pontuais e tudo estava muito bem organizado. O dia estava lindo e aproveitamos cada momento! Tivemos um ótimo tempo para mergulhar, nadar e relaxar. O barco tinha tudo o que precisávamos, com água e bebidas à vontade durante todo o passeio. Um destaque especial foi toda a parte da comida! A Jessica preparou uma massa maravilhosa com camarão, acompanhada de uma salada grega deliciosa. Além de tudo estar muito gostoso, ficamos encantados com o capricho e o cuidado em cada detalhe na hora de servir, desde a apresentação dos pratos até as frutas, tudo preparado e servido com muito carinho. Dá para perceber o cuidado que eles têm em proporcionar uma experiência especial aos hóspedes. O barco também estava impecável, muito limpo, organizado e bem cuidado. Adoramos a experiência de velejar e nos sentimos muito confortáveis durante todo o passeio. Foi um dia muito especial e uma experiência que recomendamos muito! Obrigada, Dimitri e Jessica, por toda a atenção, carinho e hospitalidade! ❤️⛵️

Esperienza perfetta, tour consigliatissimo! Siamo arrivati a Gramvousa e Balos prima delle navi turistiche, riuscendo a goderci questi due paradisi in perfetta solitudine, un privilegio raro che consigliamo a chiunque voglia vivere questi luoghi nella loro autentica bellezza, senza folla. Il capitano Hassan è eccezionale, bravissimo alla guida, molto attento alla sicurezza, simpaticissimo, ci ha fatto sentire a nostro agio per tutta la mattina. A bordo ottima musica, panini buonissimi e acqua e birre fredde a volontà. Una giornata indimenticabile! Flavia e Daniele

Our boat tour was absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious, and our captain, Takis, was such a friendly and wonderful person to have with us. We all wished the tour could have lasted longer, as it flew by so quickly. Thank you so much!!
