Summary: We had a great time with Georgos and Foivos, two great guides who are very helpful and try to convey a lot of information. We all enjoyed the beautiful landscape as well as a swim in the refreshing cold water. Good sturdy shoes and the Neopren socks that you can choose to use are helpful. Prepare that you will get completely wet which is part of the game and fun. A certain minimum of fitness is required as it is more than just a short afternoon walk. We are a family of 5 (ages 15 to 56) and enjoyed the day very much. Marianne, Bernhard & kids
