Next with our boat we will have the chance to stop at the famous pirate’s Barbarossa Cave where he searched for refuge and then he managed to conquer the island.

He is none other than Hayreddin Barbarossa. During the 16th century, Barbarossa actively operated in the Mediterranean seas. He started his naval career by serving as a corsair under the leadership of Oruç Reis, his elder brother. In the year 1516, they captured Algiers together, and Oruç declared himself sultan. The Europeans were fearful of the naval battle tactics, warrior skills, and seamanship of Hayreddin Barbarossa. He became the king of Algiers and remained loyal to Ottomans even though his mother was a Greek Christian.

The old Market Street is still a place for ‘Herakliotes' - the people that live in Heraklion, to come every day to meet, talk and have fun. As you are walking on the streets, you will grab the atmosphere of being a local and feel the buzz around you.

A graphic Cretan town, so characteristic and unique, that nothing similar is met anywhere else on the island of Crete. We will have time to relax at the beautiful scenery at the old port of Rethimno. Our next stop Chania. Its Venetian walls and harbor, narrow streets, and old buildings from the Venetian and Turkish period are mostly intact and take you directly to the past.

The old harbor, where the small fishing boats can moor, is a perfect place to enjoy a coffee and observe the liveliness of the city.
Next stop and last is the lake of Kournas, the only natural sweet water Lake close to Chania, where you will have your lunch. For those who want, there is a possibility to make a tour in the lake on pedals, or just walk around the lake and swim before we take the way back to Heraklio.
