Sailing - Discover the most beautiful bays and beaches of Crete
In Crete, sailing is a real pleasure. You may well see some dolphins or even whales out on the vast sea. However, these gigantic sea creatures are very shy. But every now and then you dare to get quite close. But even if you don't get to see the wonderful dolphins and whales, a sailing trip on Crete is worthwhile.
Sail to the most beautiful bays of Crete in a relaxed way, as you should on holiday. Anchor on a natural beach and refresh yourself in the crystal clear water. Have you ever thought of sailing around the entire island? The total length of the coastline is about 236 kilometres.
Why should I go sailing in Crete?
Because sailing is one of the most beautiful holiday activities. Sailing is the best therapy, say the experienced sailors. So let your soul dangle for once and really come to rest on your holiday. Just enjoy the wind, marvel at the wide view over the crystal clear sea and let the sound of the waves calm you down.
Where can I go sailing in Crete?
In Crete, all our sailing tours depart from the port of Heraklion, the largest city on the southern Greek island of Crete.
Choose a half-day or a full-day tour and board one of our magnificent sailing boats directly at the harbour or be picked up conveniently from your hotel or accommodation beforehand. All our local partners offer a transfer from certain zones, so that nothing stands in the way of your excursion and you can take part in an eventful day on the sailing ship without any complications.
Who is sailing in Crete suitable for?
Sailing is basically suitable for everyone. Experience a great day at sea with your friends or family. Surprise your sweetheart with an exclusive sailing trip into the sunset. A dinner at sunset is a very special experience. But an exclusive sailing trip is also ideal for company events or private celebrations such as a wedding or a birthday.
What are the possibilities?
You can sail in any price range. Guided half-day and full-day tours are offered, which are also affordable for the small purse. Exclusive sailing trips, where you can experience a private excursion, can of course also be booked for a little more money.
How much does sailing cost in Crete?
Sailing is not only for bulging wallets. Holidaymakers with a smaller budget can also join a sailing trip. Half-day and full-day sailing trips are offered from 70 euros. On a full-day trip, food and drinks are included in the price. However, if you want to hire a sailing ship exclusively, the price will of course go up.
