Yacht charter Crete

Destination

Crete

Greece · Aegean

Crete is Greece's largest island and offers one of the longest charter seasons in the Aegean — sailable from April well into October, thanks to its southern latitude.

A Long Season

Crete's southerly position allows sailing from as early as April through October — noticeably longer than the more northerly Cyclades.

Chania and the North Coast

The Venetian harbor town of Chania, with its picturesque old town, is one of the finest starting points for a Crete charter, with most well-developed marinas along the north coast.

FAQ

Questions about Crete

Is Crete better suited for island hopping or as a standalone destination?

Both work well — the north coast suits island hopping toward the Cyclades, while Crete's own coastline offers enough variety for a standalone week-long itinerary.
