As you set sail from Ormos bay port, the gentle rhythm of the waves and the soft glow of the setting sun create a serene atmosphere.

Choose between Agioi Pantes beach or Kolokutha Beach as your sunset viewing spot. Whether you decide to swim in the warm waters or stay aboard to witness the sunset, the experience is sure to be unforgettable. A recent review captures the magic of the moment,

Sunset private coastline tour - Absolutely amazing private two hour sunset tour in a small motor boat! We boated by an island of nearly extinct Cretan goats and watched them climbing the rocky shores. We swam in the clear blue water in a cove of that island with the mountains of Crete in the background. We explored the coastline back towards Elounda while watching the sunset behind the mountains and navigating into small inlets with birds nesting in the cliffs.

As the tour concludes, the lights of Agios Nikolaos twinkle in the distance, marking the end of a perfect day in Schisma Eloundas. With clear skies and a gentle breeze, this weekend promises a blend of adventure and tranquility, leaving you with memories to cherish.
