Details
Step on board one of our private RIB boats, and enjoy a day at sea together with your friends or family! Our boat trip to Menies, Gramvousa and Balos Lagoon departs from the port of Kolymvari, and our kind skipper will steer the boat towards our first destination: Balos Lagoon. We will stop here, so you can lay down on the white sand beach and enjoy the bright blue sea.
We then make our way to Gramvousa, where we can visit a Venetian castle, and admire an old shipwreck that ran aground on the beach. When our break here comes to an end, we will head to our third stop: Menies. This beach is well known for its turquoise waters and ancient ruins. You can go for a swim, and explore the underwater life with snorkeling equipment we provide.
On our way back to Kolymvari, the skipper will take you past a few more private beaches and caves where you can enjoy peaceful moments and make some good holiday memories!
