Itinerary
Our first stop will be at Menies, where the soft sand invites you to bask in the sun and indulge in carefree moments playing with the sand. The idyllic beach offers an escape to a Mediterranean paradise, where relaxation and the soothing sound of the waves make you surrender to the beauty of the landscape. Hidden beaches and crystalline waters call out to our soul, tempting us to take a deep and drift away into a dreamy state of mind. It will take 20 mins to arrive there.
Next, our boat sails towards Gramvousa, the pirate island hiding stories and legends behind its rocks. It's up to you if you decide to hike to the castle or stay at the beach and enjoy the blue waters. The duration of the travel between Menies and Gramvousa is 20 mins.

About Chania
Chania, on Crete's north-west coast, is a Venetian harbour town of old mosques and tall houses, with mountain gorges and beaches within reach.
Chania's old harbour is a crescent of tall Venetian houses facing a stone breakwater and a lighthouse rebuilt by the Egyptians in the nineteenth century. The domed Mosque of the Janissaries stands on the quay, left from the Ottoman centuries, and behind it narrow lanes in the Splantzia and Topanas quarters pass Venetian and Ottoman houses, churches and small workshops. The cross-shaped covered market sells cheese, honey and herbs.
