What you can expect
Discover the history and beauty of Gramvousa, Balos, and Menies on a cruise from Crete. Explore three of Crete's most enchanting destinations, where unparalleled natural beauty meets rich history.
Begin your journey with Gramvousa, an island with a breathtaking history. The Venetian fortress, perched atop the island, was built in the 16th century and served as a key stronghold against Ottoman invasions.
During the Greek Revolution of 1821, Gramvousa was captured by Cretan revolutionaries and became a refuge for Mediterranean pirates. As you wander through the ruins of the fortress, the panoramic views from above will captivate you, offering sweeping vistas of the sea and the unique natural landscape.
Next, your cruise will take you to the Balos lagoon, one of the most idyllic destinations in the Mediterranean. The crystal-clear turquoise waters and white sand, adorned with stunning seashells, create an exotic setting reminiscent of a postcard. Here, you will have the opportunity to swim in the shallow, warm waters and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature.
Your cruise concludes with a visit to Menies Beach, a secluded paradise in northern Crete where the past meets the present. In addition to the impressive coastline with its pristine waters and tranquil landscape, you will have the chance to see the ruins of the ancient sanctuary of Diktynna, dedicated to the goddess Artemis.
Menies Beach, with its peaceful and authentic atmosphere, is an ideal destination for those seeking solitude and a connection with nature and history.
