Simple boat trip for a quick swim in two locations, 45 mins at each place, not fancy, just a boat ride. The first location Turtle Bay is misleading, so many boats there that no turtle would go there. Afterwards I found that you can drive or get a bus there to both locations and swim/snorkel for as long as you like. Just about right value for money for a half day.
The crue and the guide were very kind and polite! The cruise was refreshing! Definitely good for children! They were excited with the turtle we met and the big slide!
Loved this tour. Stops at 2 spots for swimming and saw the church and Knossos beach and the blue lagoon. Tour guide was very funny. On the way back they played sirtaki.
I booked the day before, it was impossible to complete the order without choosing a meeting point, so I chose one. The next day, after picking me up at the meeting point, and once we arrived at the boat. The manager wanted me to pay because they picked me up, even though there was no other possibility without a meeting point; I feel like there is a lack of coordination. In the end I did not pay. The cruise was great.
Merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes désolés pour ce malentendu concernant le transfert. Celui-ci est une option payante qui doit normalement être ajoutée lors de la réservation, et le choix d’un point de rendez-vous a visiblement créé une confusion. Nous sommes néanmoins ravis que vous ayez apprécié la croisière.

The cruise with St. Georgios was amazing. It lasted a little over 3 hours and we covered a large part of the east coast of the island. Of course, with stops for swimming and jumping into the water. For a great price! I recommend it!
