About the experience
Step into a postcard-perfect corner of Crete where history, beauty, and tradition converge. Our day cruise to Plaka and Elounda is a journey through crystal-clear waters, charming coastal villages, and legendary views of Spinalonga—the island fortress that has captivated travelers for generations.
We depart at 09:00 AM from the scenic Sissi Marina and cruise eastward along Crete’s northern coastline, soaking in breathtaking sea views on the way to the historic bay of Elounda. Nestled across from the famous Kalydon Peninsula lies the village of Plaka—a serene, timeless destination that offers both natural beauty and a rich cultural legacy. Upon arrival, you’ll have time to explore the village’s quaint stone-paved alleys, admire its traditional houses, or relax at one of its charming seafront tavernas.
Take a dip in the pristine waters at Plaka Beach or Agia Marina, where the clear, calm sea and shaded shorelines invite total relaxation. From the beach or the boat, gaze across the water to Spinalonga Island, once a leper colony and now a hauntingly beautiful reminder of resilience and history. We return to Sissi Marina by 14:30 PM, refreshed and inspired by a place where the past and present live in perfect harmony.
What sets this cruise apart is its rare blend of culture, nature, and authentic Cretan charm. Unlike crowded tourist hotspots, Plaka remains peaceful, offering a genuine slice of local life along with some of the most iconic views in Crete. You’ll sail through one of the island’s most scenic coastal routes and arrive at a village untouched by mass tourism, where time seems to stand still.
Our small-group approach means a more personalized experience, with local stories, hidden highlights, and space to enjoy the moment—whether you're sipping coffee by the sea or swimming in calm, clear waters. With the majestic Spinalonga fortress in view and the scent of salt and fresh seafood in the air, this cruise offers a soul-stirring experience that’s as relaxing as it is memorable.
