Uncover the full wonder of Western Crete with our Balos Odyssey, a 7-hour private cruise to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island. This extended adventure is crafted for travelers who want more than just a glimpse — it’s a deep dive into paradise, complete with swimming, history, sun-soaked relaxation, and Cretan hospitality.

Setting sail from Kolymbari Port, we cruise along the majestic coastline toward Balos Lagoon, one of the most photographed beaches in all of Greece. With its white sandbars and translucent turquoise waters, it’s an ideal setting for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply lounging in serenity. From there, we make our way to Gramvousa Island, where you can climb to the ruins of the Venetian castle for panoramic views or dive into the surrounding emerald waters for a refreshing swim.

Throughout the day, enjoy unlimited refreshments wine, beer, soft drinks along with fresh fruit, snacks, towels, SUP and snorkeling equipment, and onboard amenities. You’ll also have the option to add a delicious warm lunch for just €15 per person, made fresh and served onboard at your convenience.

This 7-hour journey is far more than just a sightseeing tour. It’s a luxurious, private, and immersive experience where you set the pace.

While most tourists reach Balos by crowded ferry or dusty off-road trek, you’ll glide in by sea, relaxed and well cared for, with time to explore at your leisure. With space for up to 8 guests, Balos Odyssey is perfect for couples, families, or small groups seeking the ultimate day at sea in Crete’s most stunning coastal sanctuary.
