Balos from the water feels like a whole other Crete. I love that this cruise delivers sea-only access to the isolated Balos Lagoon swimming area, with a full stretch of time in the water. I also like the onboard setup: cookies and cakes with espresso to start, plus unlimited cold bottled water, beer and house wine, and snorkeling gear included.
The big plus is that this is a small-group adult outing, which keeps the vibe relaxed instead of chaotic. One thing to plan around: it’s adult-only and not recommended for kids under 16, and the sailing depends on good weather.
