Overview

Set sail on a memorable journey around Crete's Akrotiri Peninsula. Our first stop is Macherida, a peaceful bay with clear waters perfect for swimming. Next, visit Seitan Limani, where you can dive off natural cliffs into turquoise waters and relax on a unique pebble beach.
We'll then sail onward to Stavros Beach, famously featured in Zorba the Greek. Enclosed by mountains and shimmering shallows, this bay offers both cinematic beauty and cultural soul. Whether you choose to swim, explore the beach, or simply breathe in the mountain air, this stop connects you to Crete’s artistic and spiritual legacy.. Finally, we'll visit Theodorou Island, home to protected kri kri goats and a WWII plane wreck, blending nature and history.
Return to Kolymbari Port with unforgettable memories of this scenic adventure. Book now and embark on an experience you'll cherish.
