From Chania: Balos Beach & Gramvousa Cruise (Boat +Transfer)｜Greece

Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in a modern, air-conditioned bus heading to the port of Kissamos. As you set sail, enjoy the stunning coastal scenery, including a massive ancient sea cave believed to be the shipyard of "Tarsanas." Along the way, witness a unique geological phenomenon: the western part of Crete rising while the east sinks, a historical shift caused by ancient earthquakes.

As the boat navigates past the islet of Agria Gramvousa and Cape Vouxa, you will be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of Valenti, Pontikonisi, and the mesmerizing colors of the sea.

After roughly an hour of sailing, arrive at the island of Gramvousa. Perched 137 meters above the sea is the imposing Venetian Fortress built in 1579. A scenic 20-minute hike takes you to the top of the steep cliff, where you can marvel at the 272-meter-long walls and take in awe-inspiring views of the Cretan Sea. Don't forget to listen out for the legendary tales of hidden pirate treasures. After your hike, take a cooling dip in the clear waters below.

Next, a short 15-minute boat ride takes you to the world-famous Balos Lagoon. The boat will anchor in the shimmering turquoise waters, inviting you to step into a tropical paradise. Walk along the romantic white sands, swim in the shallow, emerald-tinted lagoon, and soak up the serene atmosphere. The onboard restaurants remain open throughout the cruise, offering food and refreshments to fuel your day before your luxury bus takes you comfortably back to your pickup point.
