"This was the most extraordinary holiday of our lives. Nikos is a magician — he took us to places we never knew existed. Waking up in Melissani's blue glow, having Myrtos completely to ourselves before the tourist boats arrived. Perfection."
"We brought our two teenagers and it was the ideal family adventure. The crew were patient and wonderful with the kids, the food was incredible, and every single day was a different wonder. Already booked for next summer."
"I was nervous about the boat but within two hours I never wanted to be anywhere else. Nikos is a brilliant storyteller and the cook's fresh fish every night was extraordinary. The Navagio beach from the water — no words."
