Sailboats in Chania

Chania is a picturesque and cosmopolitan destination located on the northwest side of Crete.  Chania has long sandy beaches with crystal-clear waters and open skies with verdant landscapes. The town of Chania is a great base to explore the island’s past and culture. A compelling mix of Venetian and Ottoman architecture stands out and remains untouched by modern elements. The Venetian Harbor, the lighthouse, the Mosque of Janissaries, the Neoria (old shipyards), and the Maritime Museum are sights you can visit that evoke this medieval magnificence. 

 

Once you have had your time in and around the sights of Chania, it is time for you to enjoy a private sailing cruise in Crete. This will give you an extra touch of adventure and create the most memorable experiences for your family and friends.

 

You can rent a sailboat in Chania and discover the beautiful beaches off the coast. Chania forms a large circular peninsula that extends to the mountainous village of Agios Ioannis. With a sailboat, you will be able to make stops at Plataria, Maleme, and Kolymvari, known for their crystal-clear waters. Agios Ioannis splits the Gulf of Kissamos with that of Chania. Some of the most amazing beaches in Crete can be found here. You can also rent a sailboat from Chania to Balos, an exotic beach known for its pink sand and aquamarine waters. Near Balos, you can admire a lovely sunset in the settlement of Falasarna, also known for its long seashore with turquoise waters. Catamarans are highly recommended if you are visiting the area with an organized group. The shallow waters are suitable for children and a spacious vessel will offer plenty of space for fun. This side of Crete does not have a developed tourist infrastructure and is perfect for a half-day or one-day cruise away from the crowds.

 

A sailboat charter from Chania to Rethymno is also possible. Rethymno is known for its excellent service and summer nightlife. Guests will love the local seafood and may partake in watersport activities. With a luxury sailboat, you can also visit Heraklion. Do not miss the famous beach of Hersonissos, known to attract couples and young people who are seeking active recreation. For a three-day sailing cruise in Chania, you can also visit Santorini, part of the Cyclades island chain. If you want to explore the Southern Peloponnese, Kythira is a beautiful island you can visit. If you are in a great mood and want to forget the everyday dilemmas, do not hesitate to hire a sailboat in Chania. It is an all-year-round destination offering a delightful vacation that every tourist dreams of.
