Gramvousa Balos with Boat

Option 1 – Gramvousa Balos Boat Ticket Only

A full-day cruise to the most famous attractions of Crete and Greece for every visitor to Chania. The cruise begins with your boarding of the boat, which departs at approximately 10:35, heading to the island of Gramvousa and the lagoon of Balos (depending on the itinerary). During the trip, you will have the opportunity to admire the wild beauty of the Cape. After about an hour, you will reach the small island of Gramvousa, where the boat will stay for approximately 1.5 hours. You can choose to visit the Venetian Castle, built on a steep rock 137 meters high, and enjoy the unique view of the emerald waters and the wild beauty of the landscape that will remain unforgettable. If you prefer, instead of visiting the castle, you can stay on the beach and swim.

Afterward, the boat will depart from the island of Gramvousa, heading to the lagoon of Balos, a 20-minute journey. Balos is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. What you will see cannot be described in words. You will witness the white and, in some places, pink sand, turquoise waters, and the unique natural landscape. At Balos, you will have the chance to swim and explore the beach for about 2.5 to 3 hours. During the boat trip, you can enjoy traditional food at the restaurant-bar of your choice. The boat will return to the port of Kisamos at approximately 17:45.
