My criticism does not attach to the particular boat trip, circumnavigation of the island and brief swimming experience that we purchased but to the overall lunacy of undertaking a trip in July or August to this highly overrated and overrun island. From the intense flotilla activity that bombards the island daily, the constant flight for limited transport and service facilities and the overall feeling that you are emerging from the most crowded soccer match in memory comes the realisation that it is generally not worth the effort. When you later encounter the two hour queues for boats to enter the Blue Grotto you will get some satisfaction if you are fortunate to be one of those that did not book this adventure.
The place cannot cope and you would be wise not to undertake any tour in peak season.
