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

Gramvousa and Balos are two of Crete's most beautiful and interesting places to visit. Many people choose to do so together to fully enjoy the island's natural beauty.

A small island called Gramvousa, which is sometimes called "Pirate Island," is close to Crete. An old Venetian castle is ruins that can be seen from the top of its tallest point. From the castle, which was built in the 1600s, you can see the beautiful blue seas and the stunning shoreline of Crete. The past of the island is full of tales of pirates and war, which makes the already beautiful scenery even more interesting. Explore the incredibly clear seas around Gramvousa, which are great for swimming and showing off a healthy marine life.

The beautiful Balos Lagoon is only a short boat ride from Gramvousa. The white sand beaches and teal and deep blue waters here blend together perfectly, creating a beautiful patchwork of colours that makes you feel amazed and awed. For people who love the beach and taking pictures of beautiful scenes, Balos is the perfect place to be. The shallow, clear water and stunning view of the Gramvousa Peninsula make for a truly amazing experience. The bay is a protected natural area that is full of different kinds of sea life and is a safe place for the rare monk seal.

Visitors usually take a boat from the port of Kissamos to get to Gramvousa. The trip is more exciting as they sail across the beautiful Cretan Sea. When they get to Balos, the sand beaches and clear water of the lake make them want to relax, go for a swim, and enjoy the peace and quiet of one of Greece's most famous landscapes.

Discover the fascinating mix of Gramvousa's long past and the stunning beauty of Balos Lagoon. This trip is a must for anyone visiting Crete because it offers a day of excitement, peace, and views that you will never forget.
