Wij deden dit al over de hele wereld, maar deze was de mooiste en leukste! Prachtige natuur, platte ondergrond (geen puntige rotsen die je voeten pijn doen), en mooie opbouw met kleine sprongetjes en rappel tot iets zwaarder. Ideaal parcours ! Dankjewel Fotis en Fotis voor de leuke begeleiding en vooral voor de foto's van langs boven én langs onder. Ideaal ! Grote aanrader.
We had the best time on this excursion! They guides were very organized and prepared and very personable and fun! The trip through the canyon with the jumps and rappelling was so much fun!! Our two teenage boys said it was the best thing we’ve done in Greece! Even the little picnic at the end was such a fun experience!

It was fun and the guides were cool, funny and attentive. The activity did not require any previous knowledge. We had such a good time and would recommend the activity to our friends.

We had so much fun on this tour with Jorge - stunning scenery and explored coves and beaches that would be virtually inaccessible by foot or car. Overall we kayaked for about 10km but the training we had at that start meant our technique was correct and it was exhilarating rather than exhausting. Lunch stop was lovely on a secluded beach with fresh local produce.
