That was frustrating and an unfortunate way to start the day.”

“Belle manière de découvrir en autonomie une île moins fréquentée, offrant de jolis coins de baignade et le voyage en ferry...Sommes allées vers Lukoran. La piste cyclable n est pas bien mise en évidence ( peu de panneau, pas toujours goudronnée) ce qui permet de découvrir ! Heureusement la mer n'etait pas bien loin pour nous rafraîchir. L accueil et la communication à l agence était fabuleux, la dame très arrangeante avec les horaires de retour et les vélos neufs et confortables. Je recommande vivement !!!”
