About the experience

The price does not include the fuel. The fuel costs 220 euro.
** Basic price includes up to 5 people **
Extra: €20 each.

Set sail from Kissamos Port and enter a world where the Aegean whispers ancient secrets, and every stop reveals a new layer of Crete’s timeless soul.

Your first destination is Menies Beach, a secluded sanctuary tucked into the cliffs of Cape Spatha. Once home to the ancient city of Diktinna, its rocky shores still cradle the ruins of a Roman temple devoted to Vritomartis, goddess of the wild. Here, the sea is deep, the energy sacred — and the silence profound.

Next, drift toward Theodorou Island, an uninhabited nature reserve. While no one steps on its land, its crystal waters invite you to float alongside vibrant marine life, under the watchful gaze of the rare Kri-Kri goats. It’s nature at its purest.

Your cruise then brings you to Lazaretta Islet, where Venetian ruins meet turquoise waters. Swim, snorkel, or simply soak in the peacefulness of this tiny isle steeped in quiet strength.

Then, the scene shifts to the elegance of Chania’s Old Port. Stroll along cobbled alleys, marvel at the 16th-century lighthouse, and lose yourself in the poetry of one of Crete’s most romantic towns.

As a final gift, we reveal secret beaches, known only to the sea and those who dare to explore beyond.

With snorkeling gear, stereo system, shadow awning, ice cooler, bow sunbed, ladder, fresh water, soft drinks, and snacks — every moment is designed for ease and wonder.

Let Crete show you her soul. Book your 8-hour private voyage now — and live the legend.

    Yannis was perfect. We had a wonderful day discovering some of the most wonderful places in the world. Yannis was very attentive, and we had a great time with him. If we return to Crete, we'll do exactly the same thing ?

    Very good experience. The boat is not very big but it was perfect for 4 people. The skipper's expertise allowed us to travel comfortably and discover beautiful places.

    Special mention to Captain Giannis. We had a very windy day with waves (up to 2 meters), and he handled the boat very well. I would definitely book with him again. The only thing I didn't like is that the ad says fuel is included, but then says it isn't. I thought it was excessive to pay an extra €80. Still, we enjoyed the experience. One thing to improve: instead of wine, some aperitif beers would be better.

    Excellent day with Dimitris who showed us the magnificent beach of Balos, the island of Gramvousa and small coves off the beaten track. I recommend it.
