Ιωάννα | Greece | "The best choice I could make as a person without transport on a large island. I managed to see the most beautiful places in Corfu outside the center. The guides George, Despina, and Antonia were the right people to convey everything they know about the island without feeling tired. The atmosphere of the trip was very nice, there was familiarity, and I had a great time. Special thanks to Despina for helping me with the photos while my phone had run out of battery. Amazing kids in the Corfu team!" |
