TOUR DESCRIPTION
If you are a couple or a small group of friends looking for an adventurous and romantic multi-day cruise on the Island of Crete, on this fantastic 2-day private trip, you will have the chance to explore almost all of the coast of the Chania Region by boat!
On the first day of our trip, we will visit the most famous beaches of Southwest and North-West Crete! Menies beach, the famous Balos Lagoon, Gramvousa Island with its shipwreck and the Venetian Fortress, Falasarna with its crystal clear sandy long beaches, Elafonisi is known for its pink sand, and Kedrodasos are some of our famous first day’s destinations. At the end of the day, we will dock at the traditional fishing village of Paleochora to stay overnight.
On the second day, we will visit the incredible southern coastline of Chania. Our first stop is Sougia, a small village famous for its long pebble beach, ice-cold water, and Lissos beach. Lissos is a small beach near the traditional Port of Sougia where you can see ruins of the ancient Lissos, the temple of Aklepios, and Agios Kirikos little church. Finally, we sail along the coast to discover the south’s unique, secluded hidden treasures. Domata-with its gray sand untrodden beach, Agios Pavlos with its divine Byzantine chapel, and Marmara with its huge smooth and soft white rocks creating caves to swim in. These beaches are accessible only by boat or hiking the famous E4 European path. Our last stop will be the renowned fishing village, Loutro, to take pictures as souvenirs, taste some local delicacies and explore the place. So get ready for an adventure in the Southwest of Crete.
