We did the sunset tour which was amazing! He likes to fish but this was so much more than fishing, We swam and snorkeled near a black sand beach with no one else nearby which was AMAZING!

“Stratos was an amazing guide, he's very friendly and the perfect host. We were treated to beautiful views, and scrumptious food. I wish we had more time to do fishing, but everything else was spot on. The day we had booked was quite windy, so he drove us to the Poseidon temple instead, which was incredibly thoughtful, and we returned on a less breezy day for our boat tour. Would highly recommend for a wonderful half day in the Aegean Sea.”
