The Skippers

Our day begins at the port at 9:20 am for the caves of the pirates. After one and a half-hour sailing journey, we place the anchor on a secluded beach where we swim in crystal clear waters. We explore the caves with a boat, admiring the colorful forms of stalagmites and stalactites. Continuing the journey, we arrive at Panormo for lunch at a traditional tavern where we taste Cretan meze and then walk around the village. Later, following the coastline, we make a stop to swim in waters that dolphins have been spotted. Benefit from an exciting day at sea with us. The Sunset cruise is an alternative solution if you want a shorter cruise. Leaving from the port at 18.00 we sail while watching the beautiful colours of the sun in the sky. We make a stop to swim and then sail in a romantic and colourfull view arriving at 21.00 back to the port. If you like activities while being on holidays, we do daily fishing trips. A fun way to spend time with friends and family and you keep the catch!
