About this activity

We sail by Fortezza, with its cannon ports still intact to keep the pirates ships out of the bay. So close you can almost touch it! With the view of the Aptera fort, the fort of the Idjedin prison just below it, past the beaches of Kalyves and Almyrides, the isle of Karga we reach for the lighthouse of Drapano. With the White Mountains as a backdrop and always depended on wind direction we may sail northeast to a very small cove with beautiful sandy waters or we sail northwest around another small island to a beautiful lagoon, we drop anchor where you can swim/snorkel and play in crystal clear turquoise waters. While you swim I prepare you a freshly cooked Cretan/Spartan lunch with Greek specialties, local pasta, sauteed vegetables, fresh salad, mama’s olives, goat cheese, fresh bread, wine/beer/soda/water and finally fresh yogurt with sweet fruit and Greek sweets. You enjoy, eat, relax and then we raise anchor to sail back to port, usually as the sun starts to set in front of us.

5/5

definitely recommend!

Nikos was a great host - very welcoming, hospitable, friendly and knowledgeable. We felt like his friends who were visiting for a drink. His boat was clean and spacious and made for such a fun day at sea. He made sure we were safe and had a great time. Wine and lunch were also fantastic, with plenty of food for our group of 4. Bring sunscreen :)

Amazing sailing day

Definitely one of our highlights during our vacation in Crete! We sailed with Nikos who was really kind and teached us how to help him sailing. We stopped at different spots with beautiful crystal clear water where we snorkeled, while he prepared nice local and organic food for lunch. Highly recommended! :-)

A Must-Do Trip!

My husband and I went on this trip in July 2021. Captain Nikos of “Be Happy” with Sail in Chania gave us one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Greece. We spent the morning in Souda Bay learning a little bit about sailing and getting to know our friendly host. He took us to the best spots for photo opportunities. We anchored for a delicious lunch and got to spend the afternoon swimming in the crystal clear waters near Marathi beach. Captain Nikos took great care of us, and we enjoyed getting to know him and spend a day luxuriating on his beautiful boat. 10/10 recommend this trip!

Great day out on the waves!

Nikos is a lovely, experienced sailor who makes things feel easy and safe even as the waves can rock the boat as it did ours a few times. We had a lovely day out sailing, I was able to help out and learn a bit about what it takes to maneuver a boat that size (it's not as easy as it looks
