Having never used a SUP before, Socrates was exceptionally patient, friendly and full of encouragement as we learned the ropes. He taught us the basics and then started us from sitting down to standing up when we felt comfortable, and then a trip over to Lazareta Island, where we had a refreshment and walk around. Everything had been taken care of with dry bags, water, shoes and even a special surprise that was great fun. There was just two of us on this tour and it’s definitely the highlight of our time in Chania. We had a great time and couldn’t recommend this trip more.

We had the BEST time on this tour. Adonis was our guide and he was so much fun and so knowledgeable. He also gave us recommendations for other places/restaurants to check out while in Crete. The food and wine was also delicious! Can’t recommend this tour enough.
