“Was a great experience, best part was to be able to get into Kalymnos and the other small islands around, to know the habitants of the place. The boat crew was amazing, creating a vivid atmosphere at the board, food was good , cocktails at the bar affordable. We manage to observe 🐬 during our trip which was a bonus. The only inconvenient I would say the boat was a bit crowded, somehow stiff 6 persons in a 4 people seat.”

The only thing I didn’t like was that our transfer was a little late picking us up in the morning so this delayed things a little bit & we didn’t get much time to explore one of the islands. But everything else was fantastic. Thank you”
