TOUR DESCRIPTION
Join us on a once-in-a-lifetime 3-day private boat tour that explores the full splendor of Chania’s coast and the remote beauty of Gavdos Island. Departing from the charming Chania Old Port, we’ll start our journey along the captivating Spatha cape, discovering secluded coves and beaches far from the crowds.
Day 1: Chania’s Famous Destinations
Our first main stop is the famous Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island, where you’ll have the chance to explore the iconic Venetian fortress and the shipwreck that defines the area. We then sail to the mesmerizing Falassarna beach and continue down to the pink sands of Elafonisi and the scenic Kedrodasos beach, framed by cedar trees.
As the sun sets on day one, we’ll reach the serene fishing village of Paleochora, where guests can relax overnight in a comfortable local hotel.

On the second day, we set sail for Gavdos, Europe’s southernmost point and a pristine paradise. Here, we’ll visit the incredible beaches of Potamos, Agios Ioannis, Dianna, Tripiti, Sarakiniko, and Karave, each offering unique natural beauty and crystal-clear waters. You’ll also get to explore Kastri, the island’s scenic main village, and watch an unforgettable sunset from Gavdos’ iconic lighthouse. After a day of adventure, enjoy an overnight stay in a cozy hotel/apartment on Gavdos.
Day 3: South Coast Exploration
On our final day, we explore the stunning south coast of Chania, visiting hidden gems such as Loutro, Marmara, Agios Pavlos, Domata, and Glyka Nera (Sweet Waters), along with other secluded beaches perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
