4.Balos & Gramvousa Luxury Catamaran Sailing Cruise from Kissamos

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 116 reviews · 7 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $235Top rated

Review of the Balos and Gramvousa luxury catamaran cruise from Kissamos, with food, timing, swimming, crowds, cost, and practical tips.

“This is a true luxury experience. It is a small group on the catamaran so you aren’t there with a ton of people. Comfortable seating. The crew is extremely attentive. Always asking if you need a drink, blanket, etc. Food is top notch. Dimitri’s, Jess and Yannis are the best crew. They also filled us in with all the history. I 100% recommend this excursion. Beautiful sites, great crew and food. You also get to beat the huge ferries that come in with tons of people. By the time they are arriving you are leaving.”
