First of all, Vasilis is a great tour director. He is very friendly and supportive. By communicating with us either in the group chat and face to face, he made it easy for everyone. The islands included in this tour are different and the activities either included or optional are very well suited for each island. I have made fond memories for life. Thank you G Adventure.
