“Fantastic day out - We booked this trip with Georgia at the office/shop in Lassi, who was very knowledgeable and helpful. The whole day was fantastic, our guide was excellent. Unfortunately I cannot remember her name but I do know she was from Serbia. Our driver, Dimitri, was extremely careful in negotiating the narrow, windy roads and could not be faulted. We learnt a lot about the history of this beautiful island. The scenery was incredible.” (Reviewed at 2024-10-11)
