We packed a lot into the day including a visit to the orange farm and to see a waterfall. But the high light was swimming in the Green Lake. There are two opportunities to so.

“The content of the program is not quite the same as advertised. Visit to the aqueduct and mosque (both 10min). Then a 25min bus stop, because the guide and bus driver want to eat breakfast, poor coffee cost e.g. 4€. We only saw the Green Canyon from the bus window. There was no catamaran, it was a regular boat. The restaurant in Lõuna Ada was ok. We also visited the animal park, it only took 20min. The program could be structured better and should not be stretched out so long, e.g. the morning cafe and the animal park were redundant. We were able to visit the shop in the orange…”
