Details
With our private boat trip from Falasarna, you will have the opportunity to swim at one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe and visit enchanting places of unspoilt nature such as the Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa. The itinerary is fully customisable, and it is up to you to decide where to make swimming stops.
You will start the trip in these turquoise and transparent waters, bordered by a long white sandy beach. After about 30 minutes of navigation, the first point of interest we will encounter is the Balos Lagoon, a nature reserve described by many as an earthly paradise. It is a lagoon formed by a tongue of sand separating it from the bay of the same name. Here, if you wish, you can stop for a swim and admire the surrounding landscape.
After resuming navigation, we can head towards Gramvousa, an archipelago composed of two small uninhabited islets with a landscape that is very rocky and wild. Here you can take the opportunity to make a second stop for swimming and diving once again in these wonderful waters. At the end of this stop, it will then be time to return to the starting point.Highlights
