Testimonials
Olympia Tours didn't disappoint! We were taken to an uninhabited island where our driver, Ermal, hiked up to the top with us and explained the cool history of the island. Next, we went to a sea cave and then were taken to a secluded beach and relaxed . I highly recommend taking this trip.
