We enjoyed the tour. Firstly, it was convenient for us that the departure time was not too early—9 a.m.—very comfortable. We visited quite a few locations, and everything was done at a leisurely pace, not rushed. Lunch was the usual excursion fare: chicken and chicken in various forms. It wasn't fancy, but you won't starve. We really enjoyed the palm-fringed island, but the swimming there wasn't impressive; the water was murky. It would be better to ride a quadruple-rig or jet ski, or stroll around the island. Water and sweet drinks were provided throughout the tour. Our Russian guide, Victor, accompanied us throughout, offering helpful tips and information.
We really enjoyed the tour. Everything was perfectly organized and timed. Our guide, Victor, also gave us a fascinating tour of the sea gypsy village. The lunch was also excellent. The only thing I didn't like was that the swimming area on the island was fenced off, along with the trampoline, and there wasn't enough space for so many people.
We went on the excursion on September 22, 2025. We loved everything. We were picked up from the hotel on time. Everything was very comfortable, the program was packed, and considering we were traveling with two children, everything went perfectly. The caring team helped us wherever needed. Overall, everything was great, 10 out of 10. Thanks to our Russian-speaking guide, Viktor, for the great photos and accompaniment.
