Details
Discover Balos and Gramvousa on a catamaran adventure, where crystal-clear waters, breathtaking scenery, and pure relaxation await. Your day begins at Kissamos Port, where you board a modern catamaran with spacious sunbeds and shaded lounge areas. Shortly after departure, you enjoy a fresh breakfast bowl along with coffee, tea, water, and soft drinks, while taking in the coastline. During the cruise, you can relax on deck, listen to music, and make the most of the open bar with unlimited drinks served throughout the day.
The first stop is Balos Lagoon, known for its turquoise waters and pink-white sand, where the shallow lagoon creates unique shades of blue. Here you have time for a swim in calm, shallow waters, perfect for relaxing or cooling off. You can also try stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, giving you the chance to explore the clear seabed. For a lighter moment, there is a floating flamingo for photos, while those who prefer to stay dry can simply enjoy the views from the boat. Snacks with local Cretan flavours are served during this stop.
The tour continues to Gramvousa Island, an uninhabited island with a long history linked to pirates and rebels. You can enjoy a swim near the island’s shore or take time to look at its wild landscape, which feels largely untouched. On board, a freshly prepared Cretan lunch is served, including seasonal ingredients, with options for different preferences. After some more time to relax on deck or swim again, the boat heads back to Kissamos Port, giving you time to unwind and enjoy the final views of the coast.Highlights
