Très belle et Bonne activité mais bcp bcp trop courte à mon sens. Dans les 4,5 jrs finalement vous enlever environ 1h15 de préparation sur terre puis une vingtaine de minute de bateau donc il ne reste (Read More) pas bcp de tps pour être sous l'eau. Cependant le prestataire est super cool, il montre des poissons sous l'eau et il nous a bien aiguillé. De plus nous sommes arrivés au point de départ en taxi (chez lui) et il a donc dû nous monté avec lui dans sa voiture pour aller au bord de la mer ça n'a posé aucun problème.

The guide was very nice and he knew a lot about the underwater world. Unfortunately we snorkeled just an hour, i would have liked it more, to snorkel further after a little break than just swimming an (Read More)d checking out the beach. But i have to admit, the spot we were at was veery beautiful, the water was clear, the beach is in a nature reserve and there were almost no people. Like a secret escape from busy athens. I would recommend the tour to everybody and book it again. Getting a taxi ride back to athens from nea makri was not easy, but in the end we asked in a restaurant to order a taxi for us and all went out well…

Perfect. We appreciated that Dimitris spoke French. He showed us things we would never have seen without him. Very welcoming. Thanks to him.

Our guide Dimitris was so nice & friendly, also really knowledgeable about the activity, marine life & Greek history. He was very safety conscious whilest still creating a really relaxed fun experienc (Read More)e/atmosphere. I had a little panic at one point & he calmly came to help & reassure me. My 12 year old son loved it too & can't wait to do it again. Dimitris's English was really good too! Me & my son are beginner snorklers & we would highly recommend this trip. He also gave us all water, biscuits & hot sweet tea as the water in April is pretty cold. Eftcharisto Demtitris! Jenni & Jacob UK.
