Great Guide!
Panos was a lovely and informative guide, whose flexibility and willingness to reorganise our session when his bike broke down made our evening possible.

Amazing experience! Would recommend.
Panos was an excellent guide and an incredibly passionate astronomer. His enthusiasm for the stars drew us into the constellations and the mythology behind them. I bought this experience as a surprise for my girlfriends birthday but would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Out of this world star gazing
This star gazing evening was very fun and enlightening. Panos was super accommodating and changed the meeting time and place based on our lodging location. He greeted us warmly with a sangria and shared many myths with us as he pointed out the visible constellations. He’s quite passionate. Through his powerful telescope we could see Saturns rings and the craters of the moon. I recommend this stargazing event !! Enjoy.

Unforgettable experience
An unforgettable experience. From a secluded beach sheltered from light pollution, Panos shares his science and his passion for astronomy in very accessible English for non-English speakers. When darkness has set in, the journey into the stars ends with breathtaking telescope observations. A must do, it is prudent to book
Operator response
Thank you so much for the review! Although French is not our specialty, a 5 star review is well understandable in any language! Merci beaucoup, mon ami!
