We had booked a small group of 15 people, we were about 70! At the breakpoints there were other boats with just as many guests. That is, we could not enjoy the really beautiful islands. That was mass tourism, unfortunately. The lunch wasn't really edible, raw fish that had been in the heat for a long time, etc., an impertinence. Definitely not recommended in the form in which it was offered or carried out, and certainly not at a price of over €100 per person. Sorry, but that doesn't work at all.

It's pure mass tourism! At least during the Christmas holidays! You drive for more than an hour crammed with 60 other people in a cramped, noisy boat. . . Is at the same time with 10-15 other boats on the same beaches, visits the Donald Duck rock in duck march and snorkels at totally grazed spots again with hundreds of others. . . And then the disastrous lunch in the military canteen. Just terrible!
