Excellent time spent with Georges our captain. Professional navigator who allowed us to have fun with good wind conditions. A great connoisseur of his native region, he made us discover transparent and calm coves, where he lent us equipment for snorkeling. Stop in a port of Paros where he gave us an excellent address of a restaurant with fish from the Aegean Sea. Georges is very welcoming, makes us take part in the navigation, offers us drinks and donuts that he made himself. He is a great person, we recommend!!!
