4.Morning Catamaran Cruise with Premium Lunch & Drinks
Review of Chania’s five-hour catamaran cruise from Kolymvari, with swimming, snorkeling, SUP, seafood lunch, drinks, and family-friendly extras.
“The perfect way to spend a few relaxing hours. Hospitable and friendly crew, delicious food, plenty of time to relax and swim/snorkel/paddleboard, and the boat was not over-filled with folks so we all had space to spread out and relax in the different comfortable seating areas onboard. The music onboard provided great ambiance (not too loud; like a chill day out with old friends), and the crew clearly made an effort to provide a great experience for all those who joined. If you're looking for a pleasant and memorable morning/evening out on the water, I would highly recommend sailing with these lovely people.Read more”

Our guide was fantastic! He took the time to adjust the foot pegs for each person to ensure we were comfortable during the paddle. Haris was very knowledgeable on the history and biology of the local area, he was also happy to chat and answer our questions. The little beach on the island that he took us to was a perfect spot for a quick snorkel. Great value for money. Thank you Haris for a…”

Good Morning Chania Bike Tour
12.Good Morning Chania Bike Tour
Cycle Chania from Nea Chora to Kum Kapi, passing the Venetian harbor and Old Town with a guide, headset commentary, bike, helmet, and water.
“Wir haben bereits etliche Stadtführungen per Fahrrad erlebt, bei denen man jeweils live gesprochene, individuelle und erfrischend lebhafte (je nach Guide) Stadtbesichtigungen erleben konnte. Im Gegensatz dazu waren hier alle Erläuterungen vorkonfektioniert und kamen aus einer digitalen Quelle (über head-set). Die Aufgabe unseres Guides beschränkte sich de facto darauf, vorweg zu fahren, an den jeweiligen Punkten Halt zu machen und die Starttaste für die jeweilige Ansage zu drücken. Ebenso gut hätte man die Tour eigenständig, z.B. anhand einer App wie Komoot, zurücklegen können. Für 39 € pro Person war das zu dürftig und zu spröde.”
