We sail by Fortezza, with its cannon ports still intact to keep the pirates ships out of the bay. So close you can almost touch it! With the view of the Aptera fort, the fort of the Idjedin prison just below it, past the beaches of Kalyves and Almyrides, the isle of Karga we reach for the lighthouse of Drapano.
With the White Mountains as a backdrop and always depended on wind direction we may sail northeast to a very small cove with beautiful sandy waters or we sail northwest around another small island to a beautiful lagoon, we drop anchor where you can swim/snorkel and play in crystal clear turquoise waters. While you swim I prepare you a freshly cooked Cretan/Spartan lunch with Greek specialties, local pasta, sauteed vegetables, fresh salad, mama’s olives, goat cheese, fresh bread, wine/beer/soda/water and finally fresh yogurt with sweet fruit and Greek sweets. You enjoy, eat, relax and then we raise anchor to sail back to port, usually as the sun starts to set in front of us.

I booked this trip for my husbands and my 10 year wedding anniversary and couldn’t have enjoyed it more! Captain Nikos was an excellent host, tour guide, and chef! We had the chance to open the sails ourself as well as man the wheel. The views from the water were incredible and the history behind where we anchored was so interesting, it was a truly unforgettable day!

Wow, an experience not to be missed!! Well setup operation, beautiful location. Loved the secluded bays and the skipper was so friendly and informative and very experienced. Above and beyond that was the meal prepared for lunch, the best Greek lunch we have ever had. We would definitely love to go again on this boat with this skipper.

My family and I had an excellent day out with Nikos. The boat was clean and spacious, the food was fresh and delicious, the sights were all spectacular above and below the water, and Nikos was a fun and knowledgeable host. A great balance of cruising time and swimming time. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Crete!

We had an incredible time sailing today with Nikos. One of my favourite days in Greece so far. We went to waters that were crystal blue and secluded. It felt like we were the only ones in the sea. Would highly recommend this trip if you're considering it. Also they cooked us delicious lunch!
