Greece by Boat: 15 Day Cruises to Book

146 tours

The sea is flat until early afternoon almost everywhere in Greece, which is why the good boats leave in the morning. Below are the best boat trips and day cruises in the country: caldera sailings out of Santorini, Balos and Gramvousa from Kissamos, the Saronic run from Piraeus, Symi from Rhodes, and the Paxos blue caves from Corfu. Prices, meal inclusions and departure times are on every entry.

From Kissamos Port: Boat Cruise to Balos Lagoon & Gramvousa - Getting There From Kissamos Port (And Avoiding the Usual Stress)

1.From Kissamos Port: Boat Cruise to Balos Lagoon & Gramvousa

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 6,755 reviews · 7 hours · from $47Our pick

Sail from Kissamos to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa for emerald swimming, a Venetian castle hike, and big Cretan cliff views in 7 hours.

“We had SUCH a fun day on this trip, the boat crew were super nice & the beaches we visited were stunning. I took my 3year old & we did take a pram for her, but just be aware, you can't really take the prams onto the beaches as they're really stony. We left ours near the boat which was totally fine. Also make sure you have your ticket barcode ready for the boat beforehand as there is no wifi & queues can be long to get them at the ticket office. This was the best day of our trip by far & I got a fantastic tan ;)”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,031 reviews · 4h 30m · from $29Best value

Half-day boat from Agios Nikolaos to Spinalonga, with a swim stop at Kolokitha Bay and guided history on board and on the island.

“Communication leading up to the booking time was clear and precise. It was well organised from the moment you arrive at the meeting point. The swim was beautiful. Please note the boat does not go to land for the swim but they drop anchor in the bay and you swim off the boat. Good historic information from the guides on the island while there with plenty of time to look around. The boat trip was very smooth and enjoyable. The food on the boat has limited selection but nice tasting food at reasonable prices. Recommend this tour as it’s a great price for a full afternoon.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,963 reviews · from $61

Cruise from Corfu to Paxos and Antipaxos for Blue Caves, cliff views, Lakka village time, and beach swimming.

“This cruise is a must. The day is long and you are on the ship for hours but it's worth it for the whole experience. Our guide was Elena who was excellent, very knowledgeable and made the experience more enjoyable. The Blue Caves were utterly beautiful and the short stay in Lakka was lovely which I mostly spent on Harami beach and strolled around the tiny village. Antipaxos was good for the swimming and the DJ made the trip come alive on the way back when everybody danced and joined in with the Greek dancers. Great value and highly recommended.Read more”

“very nice trip, the staff is amazing - funny, friendly, always smiling and trying to help. Great moment with greek dance at the begining of the Cruise. The Paxos island where you spend 2hours it's magnifique! The stop for swiming at Antipaxos ... not so much. There are a lot of boats coming almost in the same time and it's like swiming in a basin:)) It would be great if they could manage the cruises so the boats wont meet there. After all, amazing experience!”
