From Chania: Balos & Gramvousa Day Trip without Boat Ticket｜Greece

Start your adventure with a comfortable transfer from Chania’s main areas to Kissamos port, where your cruise boat awaits. As you sail along Crete’s wild western coastline, enjoy views of towering cliffs, deep-blue waters, and a centuries-old cave believed to have served as an ancient shipyard.

Your first stop is the rugged island of Gramvousa, a place where nature and history blend perfectly. Here you can:

• hike up to the impressive Venetian fortress perched 137 m above sea level
• admire breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean
• swim in crystal-clear waters near the small chapel of Agioi Apostoloi

Next, the boat continues to Balos Lagoon, one of Greece’s most iconic beaches and often listed among the most beautiful in the world. As the lagoon comes into view, you’ll be amazed by its pink-white sand, shallow turquoise waters, and exotic landscape.

Spend your free time swimming, exploring the sandbanks, or simply relaxing in this natural paradise.

After your visit, board the boat back to Kissamos and return comfortably by bus to your drop-off point.

Please note: The boat ticket is not included in the tour price and must be purchased separately.
