Minoan Trail & Calypso Island Swim Trip with The Big Blue Swim
Looking for holiday inspiration? The Minoan Trail is a series of swims based around the truly untamed coastline of the traditional village of Sfakia, in south Crete. This tour will include the recently introduced daily trip to Calypso Island (Gavdos), a remote, beautiful island that ‘time forgot’. You will have the unique experience of swimming around the sea-sculpted caves and rock formations of Cape Tripiti, the
southernmost part of Europe and from here you can gaze at the archipelago beyond which lies Africa! With its rich 9000 year history of diverse ancient cultures it is easy to see why Homer referred to Crete as the true Gaia (world). Join us and experience it for yourself!
