Great trip with professional personnel !! We joined the blue lagoon cruise, departing from Sithonia. Nice, relaxing trip, we enjoyed it. Banana beach is the must destination, an almost private beach. Tasty and very well organized BBQ on the beach. The local market place of Ammouliani island was interesting and the last destination where the boat stopped at the open sea and we jumped in the sea from the boat was fantastic. All COVID-19 regulations like social distances, masks and frequent disinfections was seemed to be observed. Finally, about the personnel was there at any time to help.

Μοναδική εμπειρία Ως μια παρέα φίλων περάσαμε πάρα πολύ ωραία, με διαφορά η καλύτερη εμπειρία του καλοκαιριού μας, η μαγευτική διαδρομή κατά μήκος του Όρους σε συνδυασμό με την άκρως επαγγελματική εξυπηρέτηση του προσωπικού είναι κάτι που σίγουρα θα θυμόμαστε για πολύ καιρό !!
