We booked recently with our German documentary Filmteam (9 pax) Panajotis for a 5 hour motorboat- trip from Chania old port to Balos Beach and Gramvousa Island. Not at all an easy task for Panajotis and Makis to have an demanding Filmteam on board with loads of equipment and special demands to stop here and there, to film this, to film that. Panajotis and Michalis went out of their way to fulfill all our demands. We were able to film at Balos beach the marvelous turquoise sea (the beach was on this day empty) and we had the honor to visit Michalis (the pirate from Gramvousa) and Jannis at Gramvousa Island where Michaelis prepared a Kakavia fish-soup from the big grooper Panajotis brought with him. We managed to catch all these scenes with our cameras , caught a glimpse of authentic Greek lifestyle on this lonely Greek island and spent besides our professional interest a beautiful afternoon and evening in the sea. Needless to say that 5 hours became more than 6 hours. Thanks a lot to Panajotis and Makis, indeed an unforgettable beautiful tour with two very professional sailors.
