The views were absolutely breathtaking. She provided everything we needed (dry bags, snorkel gear, water, jackets), made a delicious vegetarian-friendly lunch, and even surprised us with a glass of wine at the end.

We were in the most remote part of the island with nobody else around. Manolis and his crew (Noah and Christina) were great guides but also fun to talk to. We stopped for a snack on a cliff and then went to a little beach for lunch. They brought baskets of fresh veggies to make salad right on the beach under a tent.…”
