4 active departures The real Kissamos collection
2 DanEri Lux sailings Morning and afternoon on the flagship
2 smaller-group options Full-day and sunset Balos & Gramvousa choices
Port-time clarity 08:30 means boat departure from Kissamos Port, not transfer pickup
These are the four active Kissamos departures that matter most. Balos and Gramvousa stay the destination. Kissamos stays the port. The real choice is which boat and day shape fit you best.
Most Kissamos hesitation is not about the port. It is about which of the four departures fits the trip better. Start with whether you want the larger Lux or the smaller-group catamaran, then choose the morning full-day shape or the later sunset-style format.
An Intimate Day of Luxury at Sea
Only 22 guests aboard a luxury catamaran — with nutritionist-crafted meals, an open bar, and two of Crete's most iconic destinations all in one day. This is the more intimate Balos and Gramvousa option from Kissamos, designed for guests who want more space and a calmer deck atmosphere.
We have been operating the Kissamos route since 2017. Unlike the road access to Balos (which requires a steep dirt road and 20-minute hike), arriving by catamaran is the most comfortable and scenic way to reach the lagoon.
Balos Lagoon Pink sand meets endless blue horizon
Gramvousa Island Venetian fortress and wild shores
