Join us for a relaxing and fun-filled day that combines swimming, great food, and beautiful Cretan landscapes!
Our day begins with a comfortable bus transfer to the port of Elounda, where our boat is waiting. After boarding, we set sail towards Kolokytha Bay – a natural, unspoiled beach with crystal-clear waters. This is our first swimming stop, and guests can either go ashore or swim directly from the boat – the choice is yours!
While you enjoy the sea and the sun, the crew prepares a delicious BBQ meal on board. The menu includes grilled pork chop*, Greek salad, feta cheese, fresh bread, seasonal fruit, and a glass of wine or soft drink. A vegetarian option is also available upon request.
After lunch, we slowly cruise past the famous island of Spinalonga, giving you the chance to take photos of the impressive fortress from the sea. Then, we make our second swimming stop between Spinalonga and the small village of Plaka – a perfect spot to dive into the deep blue waters and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. This open-sea swim will last approximately 40 minutes.
We return to Elounda in the early afternoon and continue by bus to our next stop: a short visit to a local olive oil park, where you can learn a bit about the production of Cretan olive oil and taste some samples.
Our final stop is in Agios Nikolaos, the charming capital of Lasithi. Here you’ll have free time to walk around the lake, enjoy a drink at a seaside café, or explore the local shops.
After a full day of sea, sun and Cretan flavors, we return to the hotels with great memories and lots of beautiful photos!
