Details
Join us for a boat trip from Chania to Theodorou and experience the wonders of the underwater world. Come aboard the Stella, our glass bottomed boat and enjoy the views while we head to Theodorou, the famous "kri-kri" island. As we approach you will see through the glass bottom the sunken "Junker 52" aeroplane dating from World War II. Upon arrival we will pass in front of the ruins of an old venetian fortress and we might even spot some wild cretan goats!
We will then stop in a small bay for a swim in the crystal clear waters. After sailing around the Theodorou island and Glaronisi, we will head to Lazaretta, where you will once again be able to swim, relax under the cretan sun. We will then slowly head back to our meeting point while passing in front of the lighthouse, the venetian fortifications and the mosque.

It was a lovely and relaxing tour on a small, family-run boat. The staff were very nice and friendly. Explanations were given in English. We stopped twice for swimming in the crystal-clear water. We also saw large sea turtles. It was a truly relaxing tour. Highly recommended.
