About the experience

Embark on an enjoyable 4-hour boat trip departing from Kissamos Port in Chania, designed to showcase the stunning natural beauty of western Crete. Our journey will take you to the iconic island of Gramvousa, where you will have the opportunity to take a refreshing dip in its turquoise waters and explore its historic Venetian fortress, perched atop the steep cliffs, offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding coastline.

Next, we will travel to the world-famous Balos Lagoon, a mesmerizing natural wonder with its shallow, sparkling turquoise waters and stretches of white sand. Here, you will have plenty of time for another refreshing swim in this idyllic setting, strolling in the shallow lagoon and simply enjoying the unparalleled beauty of this unique landscape.

While the focus is on these two stunning locations, our 4-hour excursion can also offer glimpses of less crowded, more secluded private beaches along the coastline, offering a taste of the quieter, untouched beauty that Crete has to offer. This excursion offers a perfect view of the most famous beaches in the area in a convenient amount of time, allowing you to experience the magic of Gramvousa and Balos Lagoon without committing to a full-day excursion. It is an ideal choice for those seeking an unforgettable and visually stunning experience with limited time.

It was a great day, skipper Gregory was very friendly, the sea was rough, so it was a bit choppy, but he reassured us. And the best thing about this type of small boat is that we were able to land as close as possible to the beaches, compared to the big boats that have to stay far away.

A wonderful experience! Recommended for seeing Balos, but also takes you to Gramvousa (first stop) and for a swim in the stunning sea (last stop). Sandwiches and beer/water are included in the price! Michalis, the skipper, is friendly and professional!
