5.00Plan for a very long day if you're departing from Rome. This island was gorgeous, the tour guide was friendly. Lunch was simple but oh so tasty. Bring extra drinking water and lots of sunscreen. Would definitely recommend, especially if you are looking for something unique to do on vacation!
Everything as advertised, very professional!
