About the experience

Experience the enchanting beauty of western Crete as day turns to night on our 4-hour sunset boat trip, departing from Kissamos Port, Chania at around 3:00 PM. First, we will sail to the island of Gramvousa, allowing us a late afternoon swim in its welcoming waters and a brief exploration of the historic Venetian fortress under the warm hues of light before sunset.

Our next destination is the enchanting lagoon of Balos, where we aim to arrive as the golden hour begins. You will see the shallow turquoise waters and white sandy beaches bathed in the magical light of the sunset, creating a truly unforgettable spectacle. Enjoy a dip in this stunning lagoon as the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant colors. The panoramic view from Balos at sunset is simply breathtaking.

As we travel, we will also pass by some quieter, less crowded private beaches, offering serene views of the coastline bathed in the soft, romantic light of the approaching twilight. While a long stop may not be possible, you will appreciate their serene beauty as part of our scenic journey.

Our return to the port of Kissamos will be timed to coincide with the final, dramatic moments of the sunset, allowing you to see the sky ablaze with colors as we return. This 4-hour excursion offers a unique perspective on the iconic Gramvousa and Balos, carefully planned to maximize your experience of the stunning Cretan sunset, creating cherished memories of a truly magical evening on the water.

    We loved everything about our boat trip. Our Skipper, Harry, was fantastic. He understood we liked the quiet beaches and took us to some stunning locations where it was just us. Thank you!

    Excellent moment with Giorgios and his boat. Our kids loved the trip and so did we. We were even alone during our visit to Gramvousa castle. Definitely the best way to avoid the crowd of tourists in this area and enjoy the beautiful scenery . Highly recommended.

    Giorgos was very professional and knowledgeable. When we first booked out trip with him he suggested to change it to another day for he thought the ocean would be too rough on that day (it was almost 1 week away). He was right about it and we would not have known without his advice. Anyway, we rebooked it to the following day. The ocean was calm and we had a great time on his boat. He took us various hidden beaches avoiding large groups of tourists. We highly recommend his service!

    We had a great day out with Georgios as the skipper. We parked at Kissamos Harbour (lots of free parking so very stress free!) Georgios saw us walking around the harbour and waved us over to his boat. Very nice man, welcomed us aboard with nice cold water. Georgios also had a box full of ice cold soft drinks, beer and sandwiches which was so appreciated. Georgios knew the area very well and took us after the main crowds dispersed so it felt extra magical. Thank you so much for a great trip!

    We had a really nice day with Giorgos. He arranged for a taxi to come get us from Chania, who arrived early and was very nice- he even greeted us with cold water for the ride back. Giorgos was ready for us to arrive on time and we had a really nice visit to Gramvousa and Balos. He checked on us a few times, offering sandwiches and drinks. Only suggestion is make sure to bring good walking shoes for Gramvousa or ask in advance if he thinks you will need shoes. Thanks for a nice day!

    Great experience and great skipper. He knows perfectly the area and will show you some local gems. Very friendly and very discrete in the same time (we were 2 on the boat). Highly recommended!

    That was a perfect day! Nice boat. We were able to adapt each stop as we want. Balos is best beach we saw in our life. But we also appreciated the last stop. It was not expected. The blue of the water was just incredible! Never saw such blue. Thanks you giorgos for that day and your great service like the free snacks!
