We absolutely loved the experience organized by Gofreedly and executed by Georgios.
He's a master in organisation, and foresaw everything we could possibly need during the trip, from tents to snacks and... a Greek apetizer from time to time.
He's very good company with great knowledge about the history and nature of the environment.
Thanks for the great experience Georgios and gofreedly team!
