About the experience

Embark on an unforgettable voyage aboard Sailing Yacht ELECTRA and discover the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea on a private cruise to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island. Departing from Kissamos Port at 09:00 am, this exclusive sailing experience combines relaxation, exploration away from the crowds, and authentic Cretan cuisine.

As you glide across the turquoise sea, take in the stunning coastal landscapes and dramatic cliffs that frame this picturesque voyage. Your first stop is the world-famous Balos Lagoon, renowned for its otherworldly beauty, shallow turquoise waters, and soft white-pink sand. Here, you’ll have ample time to swim, snorkel, or simply relax and take in the mesmerizing scenery. The lagoon's unique combination of saltwater and freshwater creates an incredible gradient of colors, making it one of the most photographed locations in Greece.

Next, sail toward the iconic Gramvousa Island, a breathtaking location steeped in history. Climb to the Venetian fortress, perched high above the sea, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding islands and the crystal-clear waters below. Alternatively, soak up the sun on the pristine sandy beach or dive into the shimmering sea for a refreshing swim.

As you bask in the serenity of this paradise, indulge in the Magic Gastronomic of Simplicity in a delicious traditional Cretan lunch freshly prepared onboard. Savor the rich flavors of local ingredients as you enjoy an authentic taste of Crete while surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Aegean.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat in nature, a chance to explore hidden gems, or a romantic sailing experience, this cruise to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the magic of Crete.

    From the booking process to getting to the boat, everything was easy with Mitropoulos. The boat was even nicer than the images and the food and service on board was excellent. We had a great time with 9 of us and would book again!

    Great day! There were 9 of us adults, we came back with lots of wonderful memories! Just a quick criticism: 2 bottles of wine for 9 was a bit tight for our taste, beer in limited quantity too.... That's our French side, sorry ?

    Great trip, the two of them were very competent. The trip was really fun. The next time we are in the region, Vasilis will be our first port of call for a sailing trip. Thank you and see you soon.

    It was a really good boat ride. We had quite a lot of big waves and that knocked out the people ;) However, they took really good care of us and we had a lot of fun in Balos.

    The boat trip with Vasilis was awesome. He has a beautiful 49 foot sailboat that was great for our group of 10. Everyone raved about the lunch that was served. Thanks for the great experience !!!

    Vasilis was a great skipper and host. His boat is brand new (2022), super comfortable and in great condition. The lunch was really good and perfect for the ocassion. He took us to Gramvousa Island and Balos Beach, two amazing destinations, and allowing us plenty of time in each. I definitively recommend sailing with Vasilis!
