Our adventure continues, as we set sail towards the cave of the most famous pirate in the Balkans, Haxhi Ali. The journey to the cave takes around 30-40 minutes and, upon our arrival, we are greeted by the promise of mystery and excitement. Inside, we spend about 40 minutes immersed in history and nature, where we uncork a bottle of prosecco for a symbolic toast to our health and to immortalize beautiful moments through our lenses. The cave invites us to swim, explore and marvel at its extraordinary natural beauty
Our journey continues towards the magical beach of the Gulf of Dafina, 25 minutes away by boat, where the crystal clear and intense blue waters invite us. Here we will have the opportunity to direct our boat towards the suggestive Dafina cave, illuminated by sunlight that creates a magical blue hue, highlighting an extraordinary underwater world. We will stop at Dafina Beach for an hour, to snorkel and swim in the clear waters. Drinks and snacks will be served during the stop.
The mystical charm of Dafina Cave nestled in the heart of the Karaburun Peninsula.

We loved it, it is very worth it. Both Captain Nardy and Kola were attentive to the group throughout and were friendly and fun. They gave us food, fruit, drink and equipment to dive. You visit everything important in the area. Recommended
I do not recommend at all, I had booked a quiet tour for 9am without music with my two children and we learned at 9am that our tour had been processed at another agency... As a result, we left at 10:45 for a boat with music at the bottom....! During this 1h45 wait, I was able to chat with several people and it is possible to find private boats on site for a hundred euros! Avoid going through viator, it will be cheaper for you and the money will go entirely to a local without commission for viator!
Bonjour, Nous sommes sincèrement désolés que votre expérience n’ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Vous aviez réservé notre excursion d’une journée complète vers Grama Bay et les plages secrètes en speedboat, qui est l’un de nos circuits les plus orientés “aventure et adrénaline”, généralement apprécié par des groupes d’amis et un public jeune. Ce n’est pas une croisière simple et calme, qui est en effet plus adaptée aux familles. Le changement d’horaire vous avait été expliqué : il avait pour but que le retour se fasse au coucher du soleil afin que vous puissiez profiter de cette expérience unique sur le chemin du retour. Concernant les bateaux privés, il est important de préciser qu’un voyage privé vers Grama Bay commence à partir de 400 €, donc l’information que vous mentionnez est malheureusement incorrecte. Nous reconnaissons que nous avons encore beaucoup à améliorer, et nous vous remercions pour vos remarques. Cependant, certaines informations qui circulent ne reflètent pas la réalité, et nous tenons à les clarifier. Cordialement, Erald
