Combining crystal-clear waters, unique landscapes, and touches of local history, they are perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying the Cretan sea at your own pace.
Lazareta Island
Lazareta is a small, quiet island located just in front of the city of Chania. Historically used as a quarantine station during the Venetian era, it is now a peaceful destination known for its clear, calm waters and rocky seabed — ideal for snorkeling and swimming. The island is uninhabited and offers a sense of calm just minutes from the city.
Thodorou Island (Agioi Theodoroi)
Larger and wilder, Thodorou is a protected nature reserve and closed to public access, but you can admire it closely by boat. It is home to the rare and protected Cretan wild goat, the kri-kri, which lives freely on the island. The western side features the ruins of a Venetian fortress, offering a glimpse into the island’s historic role in guarding the northern coast of Crete.
