Rare Rustic Delights:
If you want to enjoy a Mediterranean clime and nature for what it actually is, you have to go beyond cities into towns – into pristine nonchalance of this island. Take your Yacht Charter Crete trip beyond busier ports into the ones which are rarely on every tourists map.
- Kalives –
Kalives, 19 km west of Chania is as reclusively charming as you can imagine. The name literally translates into Hut in Greece and Kalives will enchant you. The village itself lies inside a green valley between 3 rivers. Pristine flora and fauna are still unscathed.
There are 2 picturesque sand beaches facing north a few minutes from the main harbor for you to dip your feet into. This is among the most pleasant beaches you can come across for your Crete yacht charter trip. These underwater springs keep the sea temperature at the absolute cusp of warmth, inviting you to dive in it. And if that’s not all, you’ll surely savor the simple and fresh Cretan cuisine.
- Myrtos –
For a Crete Yacht Charter to the lesser known destinations, Myrtos is a perfect example of the pure divinity of Mediterranean coastal town. Just 13 km west of Ierapatra, you can dock your luxury yacht at the main harbor. A few minutes will bring you to a series of beautiful beaches. As famous as they are for their aesthetic charms and pleasure (The coarse gray sand does not stick to the body), these beaches are still largely empty.
You can simply rent a sitting arrangement from plentiful amenities nearby. Stay-in at your yacht and enjoy the local nightlife of fun and frolics while pampering yourself in its delicious traditional cuisines.
A History Still Alive:
A visit to the Heraklion Archaeological Museum is a must in your Crete Yacht Charter itinerary. This island has ancient origins dating back to prehistoric times. Relics of the Minoan civilization are the main attractions at the museum.
Following the usurpation of the Minoans, Mycenaen and Roman vestiges led all the way to Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman rules finally culminating in a resurrection with mainland Greece. But a worthy mention is the Cretan warfare against the German Nazis, a chapter of innumerable heroics many of which still bear memories today.
A visit to the Palace of Knossos, structure pre-dating Greeks is a must. This is a popular tourist destination and one of the most mysterious ones around too. Dock your yacht at the city and take a tour guide to delve into questions which still baffle historians. A structure as gracious as it is marvellous for the Bronze age, this is the last relic of Minoa civilization.
The old town district of Rethymmon is a perfect walk just a few steps from the harbour. A luxury yacht charter Crete trip is incomplete without taking a walk through these streets. Flanking on both sides of narrow lanes are buildings older than imagination can persist. A curious mixture of Venetian and Turkish architecture, with the soothing evening sun bathing you with its rays, you’ll find locals on their porches offering you a warm chat which you simply cannot decline.
