Unfortunately, the trip was far from satisfactory. The minivan was faulty, with broken shock absorbers, and it was massively overloaded—there were two extra passengers and luggage piled in the aisles. We had no room to move and only got out of the vehicle when the driver rearranged the luggage. The second part of the journey by ferry was fine, but the first part was extremely disappointing. Overall, I’d give it a maximum of two out of five stars, and we wouldn’t book it again. Also because we had a two hours layover to the ferry, which can be managed with less waiting time.
