Chania, Greece

7 to 9 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Your adventure begins in Chania, where we pick you up in a comfortable van for a scenic 90-minute drive through the White Mountains. As the road twists past gorges, olive groves, and wide sea views, you’ll feel the south coast of Crete calling.
In Sfakia, you step onto our semi-private catamaran (up to 22 people) and sail to three unforgettable spots:
• Sweet Water Beach ( Glyka Nera) – swim where cool springs rise beneath clear, blue water and tall cliffs frame the shore
• Loutro – a quiet seaside village with no cars, just white houses & cafés
• Marmara – relax in turquoise water beside marble rocks and, if you wish, enjoy lunch at a small taverna perched above the bay

The day is all about sun, salt, and the easy rhythm of the sea — no rush, only beautiful places.

Includes transfer from Chania to Sfakia and back. Groups of 8+ please contact us.
Please note: This tour requires a minimum of 3 guests to operate.

Come sail the wild south of Crete and let the sea set the pace.
