I want to thank you for your company aboard our sailboat "ΩΡΊΩΝ".It is a very nice feeling to know that you enjoyed sailing and for taking the time to learn so much about life aboard a sailboat as well as becoming one with the Cretan sea.
As always we want to be your friend from all the far away places. Thank you again from the bottom of our heart and we hope that you will visit us again.

This sailing trip is a must when coming to Crete! My husband and I were taught to sail by nikos who is very knowledgeable and an experienced sailor. He took us to a gorgeous cove with turquoise water and made us dinner! Perfection. The price is very affordable for an 8 hour excursion and dinner.

I want to thank you both for coming aboard "ΩΡΙΩΝ", being part of the sailing crew and giving us, myself and "ORION" the opportunity to take you along, to feel and become as one part of the Cretan Sea! You are the best, and please keep your beautiful personalities always, in every day of your travels!

My husband and I spent a few days on Nikos' boat and he took us out for a day of sailing. Souda Bay was beautiful and Nikos is a very patient, kind and experienced sailor. We got to help with the sailing. We stopped in a lovely turquoise laguna and went swimming as our personable tour guide prepared a delicious Cretan lunch. Also, we were able to go hiking around some ancient monasteries, to a real pirates' cove, under the scrutiny of some whimsical mountain goats with Nikos as our tour guide. Another day, he took us on a driving tour through the gorgeous mountains of Crete. We visited two wineries, made a few village stops, took many pictures, and Nikos answered our many questions and had lots of interesting facts and stories to tell. Finding Nikos made our trip to Chania ("Han-ya") absolutely fantastic and unforgettable!

It was a true pleasure to have the opportunity to spend time with you and I will be happy to meet again, anytime. I want to sincerely thank you for visiting us in Chania and I truly appreciate all your nice comments about the days we spent exploring the different aspects of the natural beauty of this island of Crete. Meeting you both was a memorable time in my life and I wish you both the best.
Enjoy every day and come aboard again.
Best regards
Nikos

I stayed on the sailboat, and purchased the sailing expedition. We had a great day sailing! I learned a little about sailing, more about the area, and he made great food! Highly recommended. He also gave good local advise for the duration of my trip.

This is not your typical tourist boat trip - it's a day with a friend on his sail boat. When you meet Nikos, it's like you've known him forever. He is genuinely warm and personable, an expert helmsman and knowledgeable guide. You will be able to help sail the boat even if you've never sailed before, learn Greek history and eat delicious local farm to table food. To make this trip complete you must sleep on the boat and have Nikos also take you hiking or on a car tour. This is definitely something to put on your bucket list!

Of course, first of all I want to thank you for your excellent review but most of all I want to thank you for taking the time to visit and spend part of your vacation aboard 'ΩΡΊΩΝ ' as well as the day we spent hiking along the wilder paths of Crete.
I hope you will visit us again, it will always be a pleasure to show you all the special places of beautiful Chania!
