Ideas for Crete
Boating in Crete
Crete is a large island, so boating depends on where you start. The north coast faces the open Aegean, with bases such as Chania, Elounda and Agios Nikolaos; the south coast looks onto the Libyan Sea. Most rentals are day trips to a lagoon, an islet or a cove nearby.
Where to go by boat
Balos and Gramvousa
Shallow turquoise lagoon and a Venetian fortress island in the far northwest.
Spinalonga
Fortified islet off Elounda, once a leper colony, in the Gulf of Mirabello.
Chrissi
Low island off Ierapetra with cedar trees and light sandy beaches.
Loutro
Car-free village on the south coast, reachable only by sea or on foot.
Tip: Choose your base by region, as distances around Crete are long; the north coast is exposed to the summer meltemi, and strong gusts can also come down from the mountains on the south side.
