About this tour

Live your best summer on a private cruise to two of Crete’s most famous attractions—Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island—on a 55ft Princess V55 motor yacht.

We depart Kolymvari Marina at 09:00 and head to Gramvousa, the rugged island with a Venetian castle and breathtaking views of Balos and the surrounding islets. Climb to the top, take some amazing photos, or snorkel around the famous shipwreck and nearby reef—it’s like stepping into a postcard.

Then we’re off to the pièce de résistance: Balos Lagoon. One of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, Balos will blow your mind with its pink sand and turquoise waters. Wade in the warm shallows, sunbathe on the soft sand and soak up the untouched beauty of this natural wonder.

Before we head back we’ll stop at Menies Beach, a secret cove on the Rodopou Peninsula—perfect for one last swim or just chill out on deck with a glass of wine in hand.

Throughout the day you’ll enjoy homemade snacks, fresh fruit, cold beers, wine, soft drinks and full use of snorkeling gear, paddle boards, towels and more. We’ve got everything covered so you can just focus on the sun, the sea and the memories.

👉 Book now and live your best summer in style and serenity.
