KISSAMOS- AGIOS SOZON-BALOS- GRAMVOUSA-MENIES & HIDDEN BEACHES

Set sail from Kissamos Port and enter a voyage where every wave carries a legend, and every stop is a chapter in a story written by time and the sea.
This private cruise blends raw nature, ancient myths, and soul-soothing moments into one unforgettable journey.

Your first destination is Agios Sozon — a hidden beach tucked beneath wild cliffs and next to a humble chapel. The waters are crystalline, the energy calm. It’s a place to pause and simply exist.

Next stop: Balos Lagoon, where pink sand kisses turquoise waters and the coastline looks like it was carved from a dream. Protected by the Natura 2000 program, Balos is more than iconic — it’s sacred ground for lovers of the sea.

The journey continues to Imeri Gramvousa, home to a dramatic Venetian fortress and the ghostly remains of a shipwreck. Swim in its emerald bay, hike up to history, and feel time unravel beneath your feet.

And then — the unexpected. A turn northeast brings you to Menies. Remote, mystical, and steeped in ancient worship, this beach was once home to the temple of the goddess Vritomartis. Pebbles beneath your feet, deep blue all around, and ruins whispering stories of Hellenistic and Roman pilgrims.

Finally, as the sun leans westward, we guide you to secret beaches, untouched and only reachable by boat. There, silence is golden, solitude divine, and the Aegean yours to keep — if only for a moment.

Where myth meets the horizon.
The pink sands of Balos, the fortress of Gramvousa, and the hidden cove of Agios Sozon invite you on a journey through time, sea, and silence.
