About this tour
Set sail on a breathtaking journey across the Cretan sea on a luxurious sailing yacht 🚤. Destination? The stunning, turquoise gem of Crete — Balos Lagoon 💙. This isn’t just a cruise; it’s an experience full of beauty, flavour, fun, and a golden hour finale straight out of a movie 🎬🌅.
The trip starts from the port of Kissamos, where the friendly crew will greet you with refreshments and good vibes. Lounge on the sunbeds or take in the panoramic views from the deck as the yacht glides past the dramatic Gramvousa coastline 🏞️. The sail to Balos takes about 1.5 hours—enough time to get into holiday mode.
Once anchored in the lagoon, the magic begins. Take a dip straight off the yacht 🏊, snorkel in the crystal clear waters 🤿, or try your balance with stand-up paddleboarding 🏄♂️. No crowds on shore—just the sea and the freedom to explore.
Onboard, snacks and unlimited drinks will keep you energised and your taste buds happy 🥂🍴. And when you think it can’t get any better, the return journey delivers a Cretan sunset that’s pure gold 📸✨.
Limited guests, no rush, just vibes. Balos is calling—answer with sails up!
