A trip was perfect, it was a little bit windy, but at the time we arrived to the island, the sea calmed down and we really enjoyed swimming and relaxing. The captain and the crew were very nice and friendly. They prepared a delicious dinner for us in a very romantic setting. We had everything we wished for and even more. Champagne and pastries were extras and a nice surprise for us. Everything was so enjoyable! It was a perfect day and place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Thank you, Haris and Christina.
