“Loved seeing the walled old city from the water . Beautiful coast line views . The caves were a bit crowded with other boats .. we had rough water so a little hard to go in and out without hitting the rocks . Pool Noodles were provided to float . The beach stop was nice and relaxing and French fries and beer were yummy .”
