About this listing
This full-day cruise starts from Vai Beach and heads south towards Kato Zakros and Xerokampos, two of the most charming and secluded destinations in Eastern Crete.
Thanks to its strategic location, Zakros was an important commercial and administrative center during the Minoan era, home to the fourth-largest palace in Crete. Archaeological discoveries reveal the wealth and influence of the city, as the only intact Minoan treasure was found here.
Leaving Kato Zakros behind, the journey continues to Xerokampos, a region characterized by wild mountains and calm turquoise beaches. The combination of untouched nature and absolute tranquility creates a landscape of rare authenticity, ideal for travelers seeking unique boat trips and private yacht cruises in Crete.
