Absolute Empfehlung! - It was just beautiful. From pickup to drop-off, everything just worked out. The shuttle was very punctual, even a little early at the hotel, so we could start on time at the harbor. Alexandra and Markos were warm and inviting. They explained everything well and took care of everything we needed. The sailing trip was beautiful despite the very calm sea, and Markos did his best so that we could at least sail a little with the power of the wind. When we arrived at the island, there were explanations and assistance for the activities. We were very impressed by Markos' patience and calmness when he helped a fellow traveler control her fear and go into the water. There was also a birthday song with dessert for a fellow traveler. A successful surprise from Alexandra and Markos. We didn't miss anything and could feel free. For Markos, it's not just his job, but a passion. We could all feel it, and it just brought us joy. It wasn't a tourist-style farewell, but an experience with heart and warmth. The food that Alexandra prepared was very tasty and filling. We sailed towards the sunset, and just before the harbor, we arrived back on time with the sun having set. Our driver was already waiting. That was nice, we had no waiting times. Thank you for this unforgettable trip and our passion behind that!!!

Best boat trip ever in Crete!! - Absolutely amazing time with Elias and Mirissa on the boat. We were a group of five including a 3 year old. Elias and Mirissa were the best guides and drivers. They made the whole experience so fun and cooked an amazing lunch too! We will always remember our time with them! Thank you!

Beautiful tour with small cuts - The tour from Heraklion to Dia Island was nice, no question. We really liked the manageable size of the group, and the food (we had the veggie version) was delicious. Jumping off the boat into the clear sea is always a nice experience. Here is a small drop of anger: by the time we got to Dia Island with the 11 h tour, 20 other boats were already lying in the bay, which gave the whole thing some outdoor swimming atmosphere. However, they drove in front of us, so it became nicer afterwards. It was also a bit of a shame that we had the sails up and back, but the boat still drove additionally with engine. A Greek radio station ran with chart music and advertisements in between. If you weren’t in the front of the boat, it was annoying at least on the way out. During the stop they turned off the music at least on our boat, but on the way back it was quieter. Otherwise, captain and skipper (? is that what it is called?) were concerned about the guests and friendly. Overall it was a nice day at sea!
