About This Tour
There are not enough words to describe the beauty of Balos beach… on our yachts you will enjoy the crystal-clear waters of this western, amazing point of Chania so close to the beach but yet, so far from the crowds. Spend your day under the Cretan sun swimming and relaxing in the privacy only a yacht can offer, walk around the white beach without the stress of losing your sunbed as this is secured on the boat!!! Whether sunbathing during the day or “star-bathing” during the night, we guarantee you an exclusive sailing experience. During the two stops, anchoring at a small distance from the land, you will have the opportunity to taste delicious Cretan snacks, homemade lunch with Greek salads and fruit salads and an open bar of wine, beverages and soft drinks while you swim and relax under the Greek sun. If pick up included option choosen, then pick ups are from Chania and points on the way to Kissamos. No pick ups from other regions of Crete or Villages further from Chania
