About this trip
Set sail on an extraordinary 10-hour private adventure along Crete’s most iconic and hidden coastal gems. Departing from the picturesque Chania Old Harbor, this tour combines pristine beaches, dramatic landscapes, historic treasures, and secluded coves for an unforgettable maritime journey.
Your day begins at Elafonisi Beach, famed for its soft pink sand and crystal-clear shallow waters. Swim, relax, or simply admire the natural wonder of this protected paradise—a world-renowned spot that feels both magical and serene.
Next, venture to Kedrodasos (Cedar Forest), a hidden sanctuary of ancient juniper trees, untouched soft sands, and turquoise waters. Far from the crowds, it’s perfect for swimming, snorkeling, or simply absorbing the peace of a truly secluded haven.
The journey continues to Balos Lagoon, a spectacular blend of turquoise and emerald waters framed by dramatic cliffs and white sand. Accessible only by boat, Balos offers unbeatable photo opportunities and a chance to experience Crete’s natural beauty at its finest.
Just offshore lies Gramvousa Island, dominated by its Venetian fortress. Hike to the top for panoramic vistas, explore the island’s shipwreck, or enjoy a swim in its pristine waters—history and nature meet in a truly breathtaking setting.
Discover Menies Beach, a tranquil escape with pebbled shores and ancient ruins, followed by Choironisia, a serene bay with untouched landscapes and crystal waters perfect for snorkeling or relaxing.
The day concludes at Sfako Beach, an intimate coastal retreat ideal for a final swim, reflection, or a quiet moment amidst Crete’s natural splendor.
Throughout this private tour, enjoy soft drinks, wine, beer, water, and light snacks as you drift along turquoise waters, bask in the sun, and explore Crete’s unparalleled coastline.
