    Best day of our trip
    Our group of 5 had a lovely day with Orpheus and Jason (our hosts) and the other couple who sailed with us. Despite it being a windy day our hosts gave us a very enjoyable trip. The water was crystal clear; the scenery was absolutely stunning. The food and drinks were generous and delicious. Orpheus and Jason were very friendly, sharing with us both Greek and Cretan culture and history. I highly recommend booking this outing. We loved that it was such a small group and felt like a half day trip was just the right fit for us.

    Relaxing sailing cruise.
    My wife and I greatly enjoyed this sailing cruise. The two crew members were very kind and helpful. They actually cooked the meal on the boat while we were swimming which made it easy to address various dietary restrictions. We are vegetarian – no problem. They prepared pasta with tomato sauce, fresh bread (not cooked on board), and a nice fruit plate for dessert. The boat comfortably seated eight guests. All the other guests were wonderful. The entire cruise was very relaxing.

    In this place, nature reigns unspoiled. Clear water, incredible seabed, endless fish. And colorful moray eels. AND SEA TURTLES. Access to the beach after 5 minutes from the free parking. It’s very windy. Go there as long as you don’t leave anything of your presence behind because it’s wonderful
