Boat trips, diving, sunset cruises & watersports
Some of the best spots in Crete are easiest to reach by boat, and a few you can only reach by boat. You can join a big day cruise to Balos or Spinalonga, rent your own boat for a quiet day, go diving in clear water or just watch the sunset from the deck.
