Reviews
Замечательное путешествие!!!! Рекомендую!!!
Мы выбирали однодневную экскурсию с Крита на Санторини. Круиз был очень приятным. Нас встретила приветливая гид и рассказала много интересных фактов об острове.
Конечно, я рекомендую этот тур! Вы получите массу удовольствия.
Relaxing and beautiful experience
The Santorini is impressive no matter what. I chose 1 day excursion on purpose, to see both main towns of the island without rush and exhaustion.
I liked that the boat starts from Heraklion in the comfortable time and returnes back not too late.
The cruising was very pleasant, there’s open deck and coffee bars and enough of comfy seats.
The guide Anna that meets you there is a competent local, knows a lot of interesting facts and reveals some island secrets.
I enjoyed the journey from the first till last minute. Be careful: it really requires a sunscreen, a hat and very convenient shoes!
