About the experience

Set sail from Chania’s charming Venetian Harbor and embark on a private 6-7 hour voyage exploring Crete’s most stunning and secluded maritime treasures. Designed for up to 9 guests, this tour blends breathtaking natural beauty, rich history, and tranquil escapes along the island’s northwest coastline.

Your adventure begins at Balos Lagoon, Crete’s crown jewel. Glide across turquoise waters toward the iconic white sands, surrounded by dramatic landscapes and rare flora. Whether you stroll along its shallow shores, snap breathtaking photos, or simply bask in the sun, Balos offers an unforgettable introduction to Crete’s wonders.

Next, discover Gramvousa Island, where history and natural beauty intertwine. Hike up to the Venetian fortress for panoramic views over the Aegean or relax on pristine beaches. Stories of pirate hideouts and ancient legends enrich the experience, making it a perfect mix of adventure and culture.

The journey continues to Menies Beach (Diktynna), a secluded paradise framed by cliffs and untouched wilderness. Swim in the transparent waters, snorkel to explore vibrant marine life, or take in the serenity while connecting with Crete’s timeless landscapes. Don’t miss the nearby ancient sanctuary of Artemis Diktynna for a touch of historical intrigue.

Finally, venture to Choironisia Caves, a hidden gem accessible only by boat. Explore the crystal-clear waters, dive into underwater caves, or simply unwind in this pristine retreat far from the crowds.

Throughout the tour, enjoy water, wine, beer, and soft drinks as you soak in the sun, scenery, and serenity of Crete’s northwest coast.

This private coastal expedition promises hidden coves, historic treasures, and unforgettable moments—a perfect escape into Crete’s untouched maritime beauty.

    Being a skipper myself, George would have to be one of the best I've been with. Safety first was a priority. I highly recommend him and we will be definitely using his services again.

    We had a great afternoon with George. He took us to see caves, to Menies and Thodoroy swimming and to a couple other alcoves that were beautiful to see and wonderful waters to swim and see various fish. Wonderful memories and we would highly recommend booking with George and spending the day on his boat.
