What you can expect

  • Relax in the Best Hours of the Day

    Skip the hottest part of the afternoon and discover Crete at its most relaxing.

    Our Afternoon Cruise is designed for travellers who want to enjoy the beauty of the Cretan Sea while avoiding the midday crowds. The sun is still shining, the water is brilliantly turquoise, and the coastline glows in warm afternoon light—but the atmosphere on board becomes noticeably calmer and more enjoyable.

    With fewer guests, cooler temperatures and a slower pace, this is the perfect cruise for couples, families and anyone looking to truly unwind.

    Step aboard our traditional wooden boat and spend four unforgettable hours cruising along the stunning coastline of Hersonissos.

    Swim in crystal-clear bays, snorkel with Mediterranean fish, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch on board, relax under shaded seating areas, or simply stretch out in the sunshine with a cold drink while listening to relaxing music.

    Our friendly local crew will make you feel like part of the family, sharing authentic Cretan hospitality throughout the journey.

    During your cruise you’ll enjoy:

    • Two swimming stops in crystal-clear bays

    • Plenty of time for swimming and snorkelling

    • Freshly prepared lunch on board

    • Seasonal fresh fruit

    • Spacious traditional wooden boat with shaded seating

    • Relaxing music and friendly atmosphere

    • Spectacular afternoon views of the Cretan coastline

    • Fewer crowds and a more peaceful experience

    Whether you’re celebrating your holiday, travelling with family, or simply looking for the most relaxing afternoon in Crete, this cruise offers the perfect balance of sunshine, swimming, delicious food and unforgettable memories.

    Because sometimes the best part of the day begins after everyone else has already been to the beach.

    Please note that the route and swim stop may be adjusted depending on sea and weather conditions for your safety. The captain always makes the final decision based on the conditions at sea.
