Nous avons adoré l’activité. La mer était magniique et les ruines impressionnantes. George a été un excellent guide. Il a répondu à toutes nos questions ce qui nous a aussi permi d'en apprendre plus sur la vie quotidienne dans les environs. Je recommande.

We had a fantastic time kayaking with George! We learned a lot about the area and it was neat to see the underwater ruins. It was wonderful to get out on the water and see the beautiful landscape from that viewpoint. The equipment was great and we were pleasantly surprised by the gorgeous photos and videos George took and shared with us! This was a favorite activity for my family during a week-long trip to Greece, of which we loved every minute! Highly recommend!
