From Kissamos Port: Balos Lagoon Boat Cruise

Sail from Kissamos Port past towering cliffs and hidden coves, revealing Crete’s rugged, untouched west coast.

Relax on deck with audio commentary in 4 languages, adding context to the landscapes as you cruise.

Cruise by a massive sea cave, believed to be an ancient shipyard, carved deep into the coastal rock.

Spot raised shorelines along the coast, clear evidence of tectonic shifts shaping Crete over time.

Swim in Balos Lagoon’s shallow, emerald waters, where white-pink sands form a calm natural pool.
