TOUR DESCRIPTION
This cruise is a two-hour private sunset cruise starting from Chania Old Harbour. We will sail towards Theodorou Island to the west of Chania to capture the rare Kri -Kri (wild Cretan goats) or to the east, to Macherida beach to relax on board while listening to our favorite Spotify list specially made for sunset cruises. Then we will slowly sail to Lazareta Island while enjoying the view of the Chania coastline and enjoying the sunset. The view of the imposing Venetian lighthouse, the color-changing sky, and the local meze and wine taste brings romance to peek.
