Embark on an unforgettable cruise from Kissamos and immerse yourself in the stunning beauty of Crete’s coastline. As you sail with soft music in the background, enjoy breathtaking views of dramatic cliffs, secluded beaches, and the endless blue sea.
On board, a self-service restaurant-bar is available throughout the journey, offering delicious meals, refreshing drinks, and tasty snacks. Sun umbrellas are also available for rent, ensuring your comfort under the Mediterranean sun.
As the boat reaches the bay’s end, you’ll glide between the islet of Agria Gramvousa and Cape Vouxa, revealing spectacular sights of Valenti islet, Pontikonisi, Gramvousa island, and the world-famous Balos Lagoon.
Upon arrival at Balos Beach, one of the most breathtaking destinations in the world, step onto its soft golden sands and dive into its shimmering emerald waters. This protected natural paradise, part of the NATURA 2000 network, boasts extraordinary scenery, towering cliffs, and a unique ecosystem.
Enjoy around 2.5 hours of pure relaxation and exploration. Whether you choose to swim, sunbathe, or simply admire the magnificent surroundings, Balos offers an experience like no other. To help preserve this fragile environment, please avoid littering, refrain from collecting natural elements like rocks or shells, and respect the local wildlife. While swimming is allowed on the beach, it is not permitted in the lagoon.
Sail away with unforgettable memories of this idyllic paradise!
