About
Our Lambro Boat is the best option for large groups, it can accommodate up to 18 people with a large aft deck, toilet and front sundeck.
Starting in Chora Sfakion (or Loutro), we set off for the furthest beaches of the day, Domata, Fournoti and Kalogeros. The distant view of Crete from the boat enables us to take in the island's majestic high peaks and imposing gorges that plummet into the deep blue sea.
With a 99% chance of nobody else on the beach, we enjoy an undisturbed swim. From then on, we travel back along the coastline stopping at any remote beach we fancy! We visit the Byzantine chapel of Agios Pavlos on its deserted beach and stop for lunch at the marble beach of Marmara or at the picturesque fishing village of Loutro. Finally we have a last swim at the refreshing Sweet Water (Glyka Nera) beach before returning to Sfakia.
