About this tour
🌊 Set sail on the grandest and most luxurious sailing yacht in Crete and have the pleasure to uncover two of the island’s most breathtaking destinations: Gramvousa Island and Balos Lagoon. This is a cruise where comfort, elegance, and adventure blend seamlessly together into one unforgettable sea escape. You’ll come back with beautiful memories!
🛥️ Begin your journey at Kissamos Port. Settle onto spacious sunbeds or relax under the shaded outdoor cockpit as you glide along the dramatic coastline of Gramvousa Cape, a view that feels straight out of a postcard. The impressive size and weight of the yacht keep your ride smooth and stable, so you can fully enjoy every moment.
🏝️ Arrive at Gramvousa Island and enjoy 1.5 to 2 hours of free time to explore. Hike up to the legendary Venetian fortress for panoramic views, swim near the famous shipwreck, or snorkel through hidden underwater treasures. If the dock is available, you’ll step directly onto shore; otherwise, a tender boat takes you there comfortably and easily. This island is rugged, wild, and full of beauty waiting to be discovered.
🍽️ Once back on board, you can enjoy a freshly prepared Mediterranean buffet crafted with local ingredients. From Greek salads and Cretan appetizers to shrimp linguini and truffle risotto, every bite is rich in flavor! 🍤🥗 Also, pair your meal with unlimited wine, beer, or soft drinks (the choiche is yours!), and take in the sea breeze and stunning views as you dine in comfort.
🌈 Sail next to Balos Lagoon, where shallow turquoise waters meet bright white sands in one of the most exotic ways on planet earth. Enjoy 1.5 to 2 hours of swimming, sunbathing, or simply soaking in the magic of this place. Arrive before the big ferries and have the beach mostly to yourself. Whether you prefer diving from the yacht’s deck or stepping ashore via tender, the choice is yours.
🤿 Looking for more excitement? Snorkeling and paddleboarding gear is available! Just let the captain know, and gear up for some light adventure in crystal-clear waters.
🌅 As you sail back to Kissamos, let the golden sunset, soft breeze, and calm sea carry you into pure relaxation. With the yacht’s smooth, spacious design, every moment feels effortless — the perfect close to a beautiful day filled with luxury, discovery, and unforgettable memories.
Don’t just dream about paradise! Book your sea adventure now and make memories that will last a lifetime! 🌊☀️🛥️
