Cruise Details

At the scheduled time, we’ll meet at the port of Ierapetra, on Crete’s southern coast, and set off on a peaceful boat ride. Ready for the adventure?

We’ll sail into the Libyan Sea, the part of the Mediterranean that separates Crete from the African coast, reaching the surroundings of Chrisi Island after about an hour. Did you know this small Greek islet is uninhabited? That’s what makes its crystal-clear waters shine even brighter—a true paradise!

We’ll drop anchor off the coast of the island, where you can swim and get your first glimpse of Chrisi’s stunning waters. After that, you’ll have around two hours of free time to snorkel in this natural haven. Please note that, to best preserve its environment, access to the beach and the island’s interior is not permitted.

Around midday, you’ll have time to enjoy lunch on your own. Afterwards, we’ll raise anchor and sail around the island to take in its beautiful coastline. We’ll stop near a beach so you can swim again in the clear waters, and we’ll provide equipment such as fins, snorkel masks, and boards for you to enjoy different water activities.

Finally, we’ll head back to the port, arriving about six hours after departure.
