About the experience

Set sail from Chania’s picturesque Venetian Harbor, where history and sea meet in perfect harmony. This exclusive 6-7 hour boat tour invites you to explore Crete’s most secluded and breathtaking coastal treasures, accessible only by sea, for up to 9 guests.

Your adventure begins at Menies Beach, also known as Diktynna, a pristine pebbled cove surrounded by rugged cliffs and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Swim, snorkel, or simply bask in the serenity of a hidden paradise far from the crowds.

Next, discover Choironisia Caves, a peaceful haven where dramatic rock formations meet turquoise waters. Accessible only by boat, this spot is perfect for exploration, swimming, and capturing unforgettable photos of Crete’s unspoiled coastline.

We continue to Sfako Beach, a secluded gem framed by cliffs and clear waters. Enjoy snorkeling, sunbathing, or a relaxing swim in a tranquil and untouched setting—a true escape from the everyday.

Our journey then brings us to Thodorou Island, an uninhabited islet brimming with natural wonders and legends of wild goats and ancient myths. Dive into the waters, explore hidden corners, or marvel at the rugged beauty surrounding you.

Finally, we reach Lazareta Island, steeped in Venetian history as a former quarantine station. Stroll along its pebbled shores and imagine the stories of those who once sought refuge here, blending history with the peaceful charm of the Aegean.

Throughout the tour, enjoy soft drinks, wine, beer, and water while relaxing on deck or taking in the scenery.

Embark on this unique Cretan coastal odyssey—hidden beaches, secret caves, and ancient islands await your discovery. Book now for an unforgettable adventure!

    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.
