Local advice from Kostas & Anna
Sea conditions change quickly here. If the wind picks up, we will tell you honestly whether it is worth going that day or moving to another one.
Good to know
- Shared or private — which is better?
- For most couples the small-group boat is perfectly comfortable. Private makes sense for families, groups of friends or if you want to set your own timing.
- Do we need to book far in advance?
- In July and August the good boats fill up. Message us with your dates and we will tell you what is realistic.
