“Bill and Julia were very nice hosts. The trip was as mentioned in the book. Bill was very informative regarding the sea and the boat. Julia made some simple vegetarian meal but it was absolutely fabulous. Overall it was a great experience. Would do it again. Only suggestion is if they put in a few fishing rods as well cause if somebody doesnt want to get into the water for snorkeling or swimming they could just sit and relax holding a fishing rod. Anyway had loads of fun. Great day.”

Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and gorgeous experience. We did this after flying 18 hours the previous day, and we were both hesitant to go as we were still so exhausted and jet lagged, and it ended up being the perfect way to begin our Grecian vacation. Thank you again Joanna!! We’ll absolutely be doing this again when we return to Greece.Read more”
