About the experience

Get ready for a full day of adventure as you visit some of the most breathtaking coastal locations in Western Crete. This 6 to 7-hour cruise is designed for travelers who want a bit of everything — stunning beaches, historical sites, and hidden natural gems.

Your journey starts with a one-hour sail to Balos Lagoon, where bright turquoise waters and white sand create a picture-perfect setting. Next, you'll reach Gramvousa Island, known for its iconic shipwreck and the Venetian fortress offering panoramic views over the sea.

The day continues with a stop at Menies Beach — quiet, remote, and surrounded by raw nature. The last destination is Thodorou Island, where snorkeling over a sunken WWII aircraft becomes a truly unique experience.

This cruise is the perfect balance of relaxation, exploration, and unforgettable scenery — a must for anyone looking to see the best of the Chania region in one go.

We had a fantastic day with Ioannis! We booked the half day cruise as 2 families of 5 (6 kids!) for a little taster! It was lovely, Ioannis was very welcoming, patient and took us to 3 snorkelling/swimming spots. The boat was very clean, smart and fast and we loved being on it (and jumping off). We would all definitely recommmed this trip to anyone. Thanks so much for a great time!

Ioannis and Vasiliki organised the most perfect day for us on the Pershing 37! Costas was a fantastic captain and tour guide - we anchored at Thodorou island where we snorkelled and saw the famous kri-kri goats! He made us a delicious Cretan salad before taking us to two other locations to paddle board and swim. Overall a wonderful day and couldn’t recommend Sea Adventure more!
