Everything is perfect - A big thank you to this wonderful team, Irène, Manos, Dimitris, Georgia and Despina.
We were very well received, we were even treated to kalistounias, Cretan pastries.
They are very patient, no information is missing in order to fully enjoy each excursion.
We selected Balos and Gramvoussa, Santorini and the Agiofarago Safari which takes us to Matala.
We would also like to thank our guides Nikos (Safari) and Carlos (Santorini) who gave us extraordinary days.
We highly recommend this agency!
