    A splendid day. The driver was skilled and attentive. The guide Giulia, sweet and friendly, provided a lot of information. Punctual and attentive! And the beach of Elafonisi?!!! Superb I highly recommend taking the bus and enjoying the day without having to face so much road by car, especially since it's not always easy to navigate! Thank you for the wonderful experience

From Ancient Roots to Venetian Elegance
