Beautiful experience. I highly recommend it. All well organized. Starting with transportation from the hotel to the port. they come to pick you up wherever you are.Beautiful beaches, Seavota a really nice village. I would have liked to have had more time to visit it but it was not possible since we had two and a half hours of navigation to return to Corfu. Recommended excursion.

Parga is a typical coastal town, its church is worth visiting. Very nice! The best of the trip is the Blue Lagoon!!! The worst thing about the boat trip is that it is very long.

The cruise was great and well scheduled, with enough time at Parga and in the Blue Lagoon. It was well-guided, and had great attractions to spend the time back

Very friendly crew, great atmosphere on board with great music, the excursion was very nice and can only be recommended. A great time to remember.

We had a great day. Magnificent landscapes, a dynamic team and to finish a swim in the incredible blue lagoon.
