Overview

Enjoy the crystal clear blue sea of Crete by a private 7 meters rib boat with a skipper!
Starting from the Old Harbour we will go to Spilies Beach. Our boat stops outside of the caves and you can snorkel to the caves or just wander around. (Please, note, that snorkeling in the caves is also subject to weather conditions).
Next stop: The secret beach with fine sand and pebbles, accessible only by boat. The beach is surrounded by rocks that provide shade during the day, depending on the season. You can dive from the boat, enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing on the beach. A beautiful natural arch called Kamarola is a great sight for memorable pictures.
Afterward, we will take a look at Geropotamos Beach and its turquoise waters while enjoying some snacks and drinks on board.
On the way back to the harbour we will see the Fortezza Castle and the beautiful coastal line of Rethymno Old Town from the sea.
Please, note, all boat tours are subject to weather conditions.
