Full description

The boat departs from the Old Venetian Harbor and heads out onto the Gulf of Chania. Pass by the island’s famous lighthouse, which was built by the Venetians in the 16th century and later modified by the Egyptians in 1839. The boat continues to sail west towards Lazaretta Island, a small island close to Chania which provides the best views of the sunset across the Kissamos Mountains. The island has a vast history that predates the Venetian occupation. Listen to your guide share lively commentary about the history of the island and its former inhabitants as you watch the sunset and the sky change color. Relax on deck as you marvel at the sunset against the Kissamos Mountains or take a short swim, then enjoy a traditional Greek raki. As the boat begins the return journey back to Chania, admire the harbor’s glistening lights reflecting against the water as evening turns to night.

I did this tour with my 23 year old daughter, and it was the most enjoyable experience for both of us. Manos and Angel were great, the boat ride was so much fun, and the sunset views were so beautiful and picture perfect. There was optional sunset swim at Lazareta Island, so don’t forget your swim suit if you want to do that. Manos treated us with shots from his home made raki and it was so delicious. It was so truly relaxing and pleasant experience that I was considering doing it again during the same trip, but we had too many other things planned that there wasn’t enough time, but we will definitely do it again next time we’re in Chania.

This was the first of 2 tours we did on the Ferryman boat & it was fantastic value for money. Manos and Aggelos were really great guides & were very informative. Aggelos was vey happy to take photos for us as a couple with the sunset in the background & we were really happy we chose to book. Would highly recommend.

Great trip. Really enjoyable, brilliant views of the old port and town, beautiful setting to watch the sun set. Manos and Aggnos were brilliant guides even taking pictures for people on the boat. The home made flavoured Raki was surprisingly good too. Would definitely recommend!
