loved it — instructor Nadia top notch, good as a half-day option, and barely saw another boat

our instructor Dmitri sorted everything for us and drifting past the cliffs at sunset was the highlight, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and barely saw another boat.

Diego our instructor very good, and a glassy inlet with nobody else around we love it. Is much better than the paddle we do in Athens before. We are very happy, recommend to all!

our instructor Andrei had so many stories and a glassy inlet with nobody else around was the highlight, and fine even with my dodgy knee, and 2 hours on dead calm water.
