  6. Leo

    We did the boat trip to the Pirate Cave . (total 2.5 hours) Our guide Paris stopped at many bays and a number of caves, some of which can only be reached by boat. Paris also gave a lot of explanation about the area. The water of the Ionian Sea is crystal clear, beautiful bays and rocky coasts can be seen. There was also the opportunity to swim at Crystal Bay and the Pigeon Cave. It was great

  10. Olivia Fer.

    We booked the Pirates Cave excursion. It lasted 2.5 hours . A must for discovering beaches and coves that are only accessible by boat. There were several stops for swimming and snorkeling with goggles that George, the captain, lent us, making the trip very entertaining.
