KISSAMOS-MENIES-THEODOROU-LAZARETA-CHANIA OLD PORT & HIDDEN BEACHES

Sail into the soul of Western Crete — a journey that blends myth, nature, and history in a single, unforgettable cruise.

Your adventure begins at Kavonisi Kissamos Port, where the sea whispers promises of hidden beauty.

First stop: Menies — a timeless, untouched pebble beach nestled at the edge of Cape Spatha. Here, the ruins of the ancient city of Diktinna and the sacred temple of Vritomartis, the Cretan Artemis, still echo with silent reverence. The waters are deep, calm, and soul-soothing.

We continue to Theodorou Island, a protected natural sanctuary. No one sets foot on its land — yet its waters invite you to float above vibrant marine life, while the rare Kri-Kri goat watches from afar. A swim here feels like a blessing.

Next comes Lazaretta Islet, steeped in Venetian history and quiet holiness. Dive into crystalline waters or bask under the sun, beside ruins that once sheltered lepers and now whisper stories of resilience and hope.

And then — Chania Old Port. The city’s Venetian lighthouse rises like a sentinel of time. Lose yourself in the romance of cobbled streets, the rhythm of old stones, the poetry of the harbor.

But the journey doesn’t end there.
We’ll reveal to you secret beaches, accessible only by boat. Private. Untouched. Ethereal.
Just you, the sea, and silence.

Where myth meets the tide.
Swim near sacred shores, breathe in history, and drift into hidden serenity.
