This year's tourist season in Crete is slowly starting. Every week more and more tourists come to explore the island. In just a dozen or so days, the use of the attractions will be made possible by the well-known company Cretan Daily Cruises, which is launching its standard three routes for all-day cruises. These include excursions to well-known places such as Balos Lagoon, Chrissi Island and Koufonissi Island. Cruises most often chosen by tourists will start the fastest to Balos and Gramvousa and to the island of Chrissi. A few days later, a cruise to the island of Koufunissi will be launched.

Balos and Gramvousa

The cruise to Balos and Gramvousa is undoubtedly one of the most popular trips in Crete. You can recommend it primarily to people vacationing in the western part of Crete. Access from more remote regions of the island is possible, but it greatly extends the overall trip time. The first cruise this year is scheduled for April 28. The ship will depart from the port of Kissamos at 10:40 AM and will return at 5:45 PM. The price for an adult ticket is 25 €, for children aged 3-12 - 12 €, and the smallest children travel for free. However, please note that all tourists over the age of 13 must pay an additional € 1 administration fee. This fee is also charged when traveling by car.

Cruise on Chrissi

From May 1, people vacationing in the area of Ierapetra in the south-east of Crete will be able to go on a cruise to the beautiful "golden" island of Chrissi. The ship will depart at 11:00 am from the port of Ierapetra. The cost of the tickets is slightly lower on this cruise. An adult ticket costs 23 €, for children 3-12 years old - 11 €. As with the Balos cruise, the youngest children travel for free. There is also an additional administration fee of € 1 for a cruise to Chrissi for each traveler over 4 years of age.

From this year, in order to protect the cedar forest growing on this island, new rules governing cruises and stricter rules for moving around the island will be introduced.

Cruise to Koufonissi

At the latest, on May 6, cruises to the picturesque and wild island of Koufonissi will begin. This is a proposal for people who will be in the vicinity of Makra Gialos - Ierapetra in the far east of Crete. On the first cruise this year, the ship will depart from the marina in the port of Makry Gialos at 11:10 am. The return is scheduled for 17:15. Ticket costs are the same as for the Chrissi cruise. This is the least popular cruise due to the remote location of the islet, although in our opinion Koufonissi is worth seeing.

Koufonissi

All cruises do not include meals, but all cruises offer lunch for € 8 per person. If you plan to organize these trips yourself, you can now buy tickets via the carrier's website. Cretan Daily Cruises

According to the carrier's announcements, the flights to Balos and Chrissi will be operated by the end of October, and to Koufonissi by the end of September. However, the actual end date of the cruise season will depend primarily on the current weather.
