About the experience

Our daily cruise starts from Kissamos Port and takes you to two of the most stunning locations in Crete — Balos Beach and Gramvousa Island. This is more than just a boat trip; it’s a full experience of swimming, relaxing, and discovering places that are hard to reach by land.

After a peaceful sail along the coastline, we arrive at Balos Lagoon — one of the most famous beaches in Europe. With shallow turquoise waters and white sand, it feels like a natural pool in the middle of wild nature. You’ll have time to swim, snorkel, or just lie back and enjoy the view.

Later, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch on board with local Cretan flavors, before we continue to Gramvousa Island. Known for its dramatic cliffs and historic Venetian fortress, this island offers a mix of adventure and history. You can walk up to the castle for panoramic views or swim near the old shipwreck lying close to the shore.

This trip is ideal for guests who want to explore untouched nature, swim in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy a relaxing day at sea with good food and great company. Everything is included — from drinks and lunch to snorkeling gear — so you can focus on enjoying every moment.

    Our group of 10 had an amazing day out on the water with George! The water was a little rough for a bit, but the crew was professional and we always felt safe. The meal they had made for us that we had on board was also the best meal we had on our 6 day trip in Crete. A truly memorable day. Fair winds, George!
