Foi um dia excelente passado no barco e com a possibilidade de visitar Paxos e mergulhar nas águas cristalinas de antipaxos. A equipa do barco foi excelente e adoramos a festa e as musicas tocadas pelo DJ. Dançamos imenso e foi um dos melhores dias em Corfu.

I write this review in comparison with another trip, similar, that I did last year in Cyprus. Also via this app. Compared to that one, this one was way more expensive for what it offered. Nonetheless, the experience was nice. The small village we visited was cute, but nothing wow, the blue caves were interesting, but again, nothing wow and the water from Antipaxos island was indeed extremely blue and awesome to jump in and enjoy. The guide was awesome, fun and knowledgeable. The crew on the boat was super nice and they even made some sort of barbecue for us (not included in the price) and of course....the bar and the DJ that played music on the way back. Nice experience overall. I used the app despite the price because I ve used it many times before in other countries and it is extremely convenient to have the pick up service from your hotel (they came and took us right from the hotel -keep in mind that s not always possible, depending on the location, so ask ahead).

Wonderful day with our excellent hostess, Marina. She gave outstanding commentaries which included history, geography and mythology. And the islands are very beautiful, the sea around them and the blue caves are spectacular. The group loved swimming in the sea. Don’t miss this experience!
