The calm, warm waters off Chania are ideal for snorkeling. So much so that either of these options is a must-do. Choose between a morning or an afternoon of underwater exploration in the Aegean. Both trips feature a swim stop by Thodorou Island and a chance to see a sunken WWII plane.

Sailing out of Platanias, we'll head towards Thodorou Island – famed for its rare kri kri goats. Dropping anchor, there's plenty of time to sunbathe and swim here before cruising on to our next stop – the wreck of a sunken German air force plane from World War II.

This Luftwaffe fighter aircraft was shot down in 1941 during the Battle of Crete and is now one of the most fascinating dive spots in Europe. And with the choice of a morning or afternoon trip, you can take in the beauty of the unspoiled Cretan coast from two different perspectives.
