Departing from the Chania area, our boat trip takes you along the stunning Akrotiri Peninsula coastline, far from the crowds. You'll cruise past scenic bays like Kalathas and Machairida, with stops for swimming and guided snorkeling in clear, shallow waters. One of the highlights is a visit to the impressive Blue Cave, where sunlight reflects inside the rock to create an unforgettable glowing blue effect. Our guide ensures safe entry to the cave, either by boat or short swim, depending on sea conditions. Along the way, relax on deck and enjoy the peaceful coastal scenery.
