Nice trip: 1h30 stop... - Nice trip: stop of 1h30 in Iraklia and 5 hours in Koufonissi, where there is plenty of time to visit beautiful beaches with local boats

A great way to explore two smaller islands. - I loved this day tour! It didn’t take long to reach the islands of Iraklia and Pano Koufonisi. Both islands are small and offer a handful of activities. This is a tour for those people that crave serenity and quiet. I spent my time exploring both islands, enjoying a meal, and relaxing on the beach. I was advised (at time of booking) that the day trip is subject to the weather, particularly high winds. Sure enough, for three days after I had taken the cruise, the cruises were cancelled due to high winds.

Was okay - The island visit to Kaufonisia was too long and the boat left early from Iraklia. There was a couple who was left behind in Iraklia.

Terrible - This was a scam. We were contacted the day before that this cruise was cancelled and we were offered a better cruise for same price. My family of 5 showed up to the new cruise and they did not have any info on us and advised we had been scammed. I tried calling back the number and no one answered. And no one replied to my message that I sent. This is a scam.

Cancellation - I got a message that the tour was cancelled. Reason: not enough reservation. They warned us the day before. Of course, all other excursions are complete or overpriced. Yet, in the announcement, it says that 15 people were needed maximum. Problem is, they won't pay me back. Apparently it's up to trip advisor to do it. But I can't contact them. If you are in the same case... feel free. Thank you.
