    Ήταν η πρώτη φορά που κάναμε θαλάσσιο καγιάκ και σίγουρα θα το ξαναδοκιμάζαμε! Ο Στέλιος και ο Ίβ ήταν πολύ κατατοπιστικοί και φιλικοί κάνοντας την εμπειρία μας αξέχαστη.

    Really nice experience. Good organised. There was enough time to snorkel and to enjoy a small beach, which is only possible to access by boat or walking on foot. If you want to kayak on Crete this is the number one adress.

    Kayak for two people could be slightly bigger , because for tall people it is tight. The tour was ok but we expected more caves and snorkeling places during the trip, however we had to come back hurry due to weather conditions.
