About the experience

The price does not include the fuel. The fuel costs 120 euro.
** Basic price includes up to 5 people **
Extra : €20 each.


In just four hours, escape the everyday and immerse yourself in one of Crete’s most mystical corners — Menies Beach, where ancient history and pure serenity meet.

Departing from Kissamos Port, your private cruise traces the rugged beauty of Cape Spatha. After a scenic 50-minute sail, you’ll arrive at Menies, a secret pebble beach cradled by steep cliffs and kissed by deep blue waters. Unspoiled and quiet, this remote bay was once the sacred site of Diktinna, an ancient city devoted to the goddess Vritomartis. The temple ruins still linger, whispering forgotten myths into the sea breeze.

This is not a place for crowds or noise — it’s for those who crave stillness. Swim in crystalline waters, snorkel over undisturbed seabeds, or simply lie back and take in the untouched natural beauty that surrounds you.

Your experience is elevated by onboard comforts: snorkeling gear, stereo system, shadow awning, ice cooler, bow sunbed, swimming ladder, and refreshing soft drinks, water, and snacks — all designed to make your journey smooth and effortless.

Though just four hours, this escape feels timeless. A pure, peaceful pause in a place where the past still echoes and the sea belongs only to you.

Ready for a short escape with lasting impact? Book your private Menies cruise today — and let Crete’s hidden heart welcome you.

    Yannis was perfect. We had a wonderful day discovering some of the most wonderful places in the world. Yannis was very attentive, and we had a great time with him. If we return to Crete, we'll do exactly the same thing ?

    Very good experience. The boat is not very big but it was perfect for 4 people. The skipper's expertise allowed us to travel comfortably and discover beautiful places.

    Special mention to Captain Giannis. We had a very windy day with waves (up to 2 meters), and he handled the boat very well. I would definitely book with him again. The only thing I didn't like is that the ad says fuel is included, but then says it isn't. I thought it was excessive to pay an extra €80. Still, we enjoyed the experience. One thing to improve: instead of wine, some aperitif beers would be better.

    Excellent day with Dimitris who showed us the magnificent beach of Balos, the island of Gramvousa and small coves off the beaten track. I recommend it.
