It was an amazing experience and we would 100% recommend doing this when in Chania! Socrates is a very nice teacher and guide. During our SUP-trip we even saw a giant sea turtle, which made it even more amazing!
Favorite tour!

Amazing tour! Socrates was such a fun guide. Paddle boarding was so much fun. The water was so calm and beautiful. We can’t say enough good things about this tour!
Perfect morning spent with great company!

Socrates is an excellent host and shows a true passion for being out on the water and having a good time! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our private tour of Lazareta which was organised at very late notice (Socrates had no issue with me texting him at 1am, just 7 and a half hours before we were due out on the water!), communication had been great in the weeks leading up to our trip and I felt like we were friends before we had even met! The tour itself is fun for both inexperienced and experienced SUP'ers alike, taking you to some beautiful spots around Chania including the opportunity to snorkel off Lazareta which was both unexpected and amazing with plenty of fish to see! Thia combined with Socrates' excellent knowledge of the local area and humble, approachable personality made for the perfect morning! We can't thank him enough for the extra effort he went to to make sure we had a fun time out on the water! 11/10 would recommend, we've done other SUP tours on the island and would strongly recommend this tour over others, don't hesitate to book. Worth every euro and guaranteed to be a highlight of your holiday!
Unforgettable Experience

We had an unforgettable trip with Socrates. I would highly recommended this to anyone visiting Chania or nearby areas.
The trip started by us making our way down to the meeting point, we geared up and set off to paddle to the harbour. Myself and my friend attending the only two booked on the sessions and have paddle boarding experience which we informed Socrates about.
Once arriving at the harbour on our paddleboards we were fortunate enough to be joined by 3 huge turtles! It was an amazing sight and something we won’t ever forget. After this we continued to our paddle to the nearby island of Lazaretta, we had the beautiful island all to ourselves.
Once we have had arrived at the island Socrates gave us a bottle of water and small snack each to enjoy which was a lovely touch. We then spent some time exploring the water with snorkels and exploring the island with Socrates who was very knowledgeable about the history.
Originally we had booked an afternoon session but Socrates got in touch after looking at the tides and swells to suggest a move to the morning session. This was a great suggestion on his behalf to avoid the mounting swell and rough seas which arrived later in the day.
All in all, it was a fantastic experience. Which we would highly recommend to others.

Socrates is an excellent paddle boarding instructor and a wonderful guide. On this excursion, you’ll hear a lot about the history of Crete and the Lazareta island. You’ll also get the opportunity to explore some of Crete’s fascinating wildlife - seeing the local turtle was a highlight for us. This trip is a must for your visit to Chania, and we couldn’t recommend it enough.
