Heraklion: Chrissi Island and Ierapetra Cruise with Lunch

Discover some of the best beaches and swim spots in the Libyan Sea on a guided cruise from Heraklion. Cruise to Ierapetra, Belegrina Beach, and Vougiou Mati Beach while taking in the scenery along the coast. Enjoy an included lunch on board.

Start your trip after taking off from the meeting point on a scenic drive to Ierapetra. Once you arrive, discover the southernmost and warmest town in Europe, Ierapetra, with 1.5 hours of free time before the boat sets sail on its enchanting cruise.

Be welcomed by the emerald waters of the Libyan Sea as you cruise towards the island’s northern beach, Belegrina, also known as Golden Beach. Set anchor and swim in the turquoise blue waters. Continue sailing along the island’s coastline to reach the south side.

At Vougiou Mati Beach, make another stop for swimming (alternative beaches may be visited depending on weather conditions). Before the end of the trip, head back to Lerapetra and anchor 50 meters away from the shore so you can dive in and swim to the island’s pristine beaches.
