Set sail from the scenic harbor of Kolymbari and journey into a part of Crete few travelers ever truly see. This private half-day cruise blends adventure, nature, and local legend — taking you to two hidden islands off the coast of Chania, each with its own story to tell.

Your first destination is Theodorou Island, also known as the “Island of the Guardians.” This rocky wildlife refuge is home to the rare and elusive Kri Kri wild goats — a species found only in Crete. As you cruise close to shore, keep your eyes peeled: spotting them is a special moment even for locals.

Just below the surface lies a powerful piece of forgotten history — the sunken wreck of a German WWII aircraft, now resting peacefully beneath the waves. Grab your snorkeling gear and dive into another world, where sea life weaves through broken wings and coral-covered metal. It's part reef, part time capsule — an experience both beautiful and surreal.

After exploring Theodorou, your journey continues to Lazareta Island, a peaceful, uninhabited islet with a quiet past. Once a Venetian quarantine outpost, today it's a sun-drenched sanctuary known only to a few. Swim in its crystal-clear shallows, lounge on deck with a glass of local wine, or paddle along the coast on a stand-up board. Here, time slows down — just the sea, the breeze, and the freedom to do absolutely nothing.

Throughout the cruise, you’ll enjoy light Cretan snacks, seasonal fruit, and a curated selection of local wine, soft drinks, and bottled water. Your captain is also your local storyteller, sharing tales of Crete’s past and secret corners of the coastline.

As the boat returns to Kolymbari with the late sun glinting on the waves, you'll carry with you more than just photos — you'll have felt something of Crete’s soul.
