Departing Kissamos Port at 08:30, this morning catamaran cruise takes a maximum of 22 guests to two of Crete's most visited coastal landmarks: Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island. The catamaran is a modern, spacious vessel with sunbeds, shaded lounges, Wi-Fi, and an outdoor freshwater shower.
At Balos, guests swim, snorkel, or use the stand-up paddleboards, inflatable toys, and fishing gear included on board. A speedboat tender shuttles passengers closer to the shallow lagoon beach. Snacks are served on deck before the boat moves on to Gramvousa, the uninhabited island known for its Venetian castle ruins and wild shoreline. A full Cretan lunch — prepared with organic, locally sourced ingredients — is served on board with local white wine and beer from the open bar.
The open bar runs throughout the trip and covers espresso, teas, detox water, soft drinks, local beer, and local white wine. The menu, designed by a certified nutritionist, includes a welcome breakfast bowl, mid-morning finger food, and a hot lunch, with vegetarian and child-friendly adaptations available on request.
Complimentary round-trip hotel transfers are included for guests staying anywhere between Georgioupoli and Kissamos. Guests arriving independently must be at the port at least 20 minutes before departure. The cruise is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled in poor conditions. Every passenger must provide full name, date of birth, and passport or ID number at booking to meet port authority requirements. Not suitable for pregnant women, children under 2, guests prone to severe seasickness, or those with serious mobility limitations.
