Along the northern coastline of Crete, just past Hersonissos, lie the hidden coves of Limanakia—a local treasure shielded by rocky cliffs and kissed by turquoise seas. These naturally protected inlets offer calm, crystal-clear waters that are ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling. Accessible only by sea, Limanakia remains untouched by mass tourism. With Blue Marine's premium dayboats, you’ll glide across the coast and drop anchor in a secluded paradise where time slows down. The surrounding cliffs not only create breathtaking scenery but also block wind, offering excellent swimming conditions. Whether you’re relaxing on deck or exploring underwater, the peaceful energy of this place will stay with you. It’s the perfect half-day or full-day escape if you want privacy, calm waters, and a side of Crete few ever get to see.
