About the experience

The price does not include the fuel. The fuel costs 130 euro.
** Basic price includes up to 5 people **
Extra : €20 each.

Depart from Kissamos Port and embark on a 5-hour private cruise that invites you to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with the untouched soul of Crete.

Sailing along the wild coastline of Cape Spatha, you’ll feel the pace of life slow with each passing wave. After about 50 minutes, the boat reaches Menies Beach — a hidden, pebbled sanctuary surrounded by steep cliffs and washed by deep sapphire waters. It’s not just beautiful — it’s sacred.

Once home to the ancient city of Diktinna, Menies still bears the silent ruins of a Roman temple dedicated to the goddess Vritomartis, protector of nature and wilderness. Here, the only sounds are waves, seabirds, and your breath as you swim, snorkel, or simply lie back under the Cretan sun.

Your experience is enhanced by premium onboard amenities: snorkeling equipment, a stereo system, shadow awning, ice cooler, bow sunbed, swimming ladder, plus soft drinks, water, and light snacks — everything you need for effortless relaxation.

Short, serene, and soul-nourishing, this 5-hour journey is more than an escape — it’s a quiet encounter with Crete’s sacred past and untouched present.

Book now and surrender to the silence. Menies is waiting — timeless, untouched, and entirely yours.

    Yannis was perfect. We had a wonderful day discovering some of the most wonderful places in the world. Yannis was very attentive, and we had a great time with him. If we return to Crete, we'll do exactly the same thing ?

    Very good experience. The boat is not very big but it was perfect for 4 people. The skipper's expertise allowed us to travel comfortably and discover beautiful places.

    Special mention to Captain Giannis. We had a very windy day with waves (up to 2 meters), and he handled the boat very well. I would definitely book with him again. The only thing I didn't like is that the ad says fuel is included, but then says it isn't. I thought it was excessive to pay an extra €80. Still, we enjoyed the experience. One thing to improve: instead of wine, some aperitif beers would be better.

    Excellent day with Dimitris who showed us the magnificent beach of Balos, the island of Gramvousa and small coves off the beaten track. I recommend it.
