Overview

Discover two of Crete’s most breathtaking destinations on this unforgettable full-day cruise to Gramvousa and Balos Lagoon. Travel west across the island with a short stop near Rethymnon before boarding the boat in Kissamos.
Sail along Crete’s dramatic coastline, passing a fascinating sea cave believed to have been an ancient shipyard, while learning about the island’s unique geology. Your first stop is Gramvousa, the famous “Pirates’ Island,” home to a historic Venetian fortress with spectacular panoramic views. Enjoy free time to explore, swim in crystal-clear waters, or relax on the beach.
Continue to the world-famous Balos Lagoon, known for its white sand and exotic turquoise waters, often compared to the Caribbean. Spend around three hours swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying one of Greece’s most stunning natural landscapes before returning. Perfect for nature lovers, beach enthusiasts, and adventure seekers alike.

There is a possibility to purchase food/snacks and drinks on board.
