5.00Alex and his crew provided a great day on the water with so much knowledge of the area. We were able to see a lot of Nafplio history by kayak. We would stop and gather at each spot where we were told the history and stories of each location. On the way back we were able to take a break with some delicious snacks, snorkeling, enjoying the water and the great company of the staff and others on the tour. The staff was always attentive to everyone’s needs, provided instructions on kayaking and the safety while doing it and really made our experience better than we anticipated. We would highly recommend this to individuals or families visiting.
