Description

Visit the most beautiful locations in Crete on a private sailing trip. Travel in style and avoid the crowds. Swim, hike, snorkel, and enjoy a delicious lunch with local delicacies and drinks.
Arrive to Kissamos Port by car or regional bus and board the sailboat "Izabela" with the grey bimini. Enjoy the company of only your private group and the crew and skipper as you cruise along the coast to Balos Lagoon and then to Imeri Gramvousa Island. 

After about 1.5 hours of sailing, reach the Balos lagoon, home to one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Swim and snorkel in the turquoise water, or treat yourself to some relaxing and sunbathing on the white sand for the next two hours. 

Afterwards, enjoy a traditional Cretan lunch and drinks onboard the ship. Your next stop is the island of Imeri Gramvousa, where you can enjoy the stunning beach and swim in the crystal-clear water.

If you'd like to snap an amazing photo of the Balos Lagoon, you will have the opportunity from the top of Gramvousa after a leisurely, 20-minute hike. At the top, built into the rock, you will spot the Venetian Castle, one of the most famous fortresses in Crete. 

The views from here are seriously breathtaking. After a full day of sun and sea, your skipper will start the journey back to Kissamos Port. Onboard, rest or nap in the covered cabin, hang out in the covered dining area, and utilize the bathroom with shower.
