Product Info

Set off on an unforgettable full-day adventure starting from the beautiful region of Rethymnon, where you’ll be picked up in the morning by a comfortable, air-conditioned bus.

Your journey takes you to the picturesque port of Kissamos in Chania, where you’ll board a ferry and cruise along Crete’s stunning coastline. The first stop is the world-famous Balos Lagoon, a true slice of paradise. Admire the breathtaking views, relax on the white-sand beach, and swim in the shallow, turquoise waters that make Balos one of the most iconic locations on the island.

Next, the ferry continues to the historic peninsula of Gramvousa. Here, you’ll have free time to choose your own adventure: hike up to the impressive Venetian castle for panoramic views over the sea, or unwind by swimming in the crystal-clear waters surrounding the island.

As the day comes to an end, you’ll return by ferry to Kissamos Port, where the bus will be waiting to comfortably transfer you back to Rethymnon.

This experience perfectly combines natural beauty, history, and relaxation, offering a memorable day exploring some of Crete’s most spectacular and photographed destinations.
