Chania, a historic port city on the northwest coast of Crete, Greece, offers a stunning gateway to the deep blue waters of the Cretan Sea. Here, Notosmare Marine Adventures provides a refreshing way to embrace the Adriatic’s coastal charm with their Sunset Trip Axopar 22 — a two-hour sailing journey leaving from Chania Harbour. This trip stands out as a serene retreat on the water, combining peaceful cruising with unforgettable views as the sun dips below the horizon.
The Axopar 22, a sleek, agile vessel, glides smoothly across the sea, presenting a fresh vantage point on Chania’s iconic Venetian harbor architecture and the rugged coastline that frames the city. The route allows guests to take in the expansive sea views while the soft glow cast by the setting sun warms the atmosphere—an ideal setting for couples, families, or groups seeking a calm close to their day.

Unlike high-speed thrill rides, this trip emphasizes ease and connection with nature.
Chania’s surrounding landscape offers interesting geological contrasts—from limestone cliffs peppered with Mediterranean shrubbery to distant mountains outlining the horizon.
