A ripoff trip - It was a ripoff - Trip was good but we paid 25Euro per person for a boat, but the ticket for the ferry was 25 trl. Though there was an extra servise of pick and drop from the holton hotel that was just 10 min away and a guide but its not worth it - And it was written 4hrs trip but it was only 1 1/2 hrs on boat. The price wasnt fair at all there should be more and clear details for this trip. I will not recomend it at all - we would like to claim some of our money - its not ok to pay 10 times more for this booking
