Swim in Crystal Waters and Explore the Beauty of Balos and Gramvousa
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.
