A private half-day speedboat trip from Agios Nikolaos that reaches sheltered coves, a blue hole, and clear snorkeling reefs. Skippered for up to three guests, it’s a fast, flexible way to sample northeastern Crete’s coastline.

You cut a clean wake across Mirabello Bay as the skipper trims the throttle; the shore slides by — limestone headlands, small beaches, and the occasional chapel perched over scrub. The boat’s 60HP engine lets a party of three reach narrow coves and a famously deep blue hole where the water runs clear enough to read the bottom.
