Fantastic 5.0

fantastic day on the water. I recommend checking the wind conditions for the day you want to book, if the winds are too strong and the waves too big you cannot enter the cave. we had calm conditions and had a great day exploring the islands and blue cave.

Fantastic 5.0

I highly recommend this apartment. It's located in the city center, and there's a small supermarket right next door for buying water or snacks. You can also cook if you want. In the morning, they provide simple croissants and coffee for you to enjoy.
