Full Description

Balos And Gramvousa Island Day Tour From Chania 

Balos is the 1th Best Beach in the world 2025 and it’s a must-visit beach while travelling in Crete.

Our trip begins at 8:00 AM from Chania, as we set off towards the port of Kissamos. There, we board the ferry and enjoy a relaxing 1 hour cruise across the turquoise sea, taking in the breathtaking views as we sail toward Gramvousa Island.

Upon arrival, you’ll have 2 hours to make the most of this enchanting spot—climb up to the historic Venetian fortress for panoramic views, swim in the clear blue waters, or simply unwind on the golden sand surrounded by unspoiled nature.

Next, we continue to the stunning Balos Lagoon, one of Crete’s most iconic and photogenic destinations. With 3 full hours here, you’ll have plenty of time to swim in the shallow, warm waters, relax under the sun, and explore the striking landscapes that make Balos a must-see paradise.

Around 16:30, we set sail back to Kissamos, arriving at the port by approximately 17:45. Our comfortable bus will be waiting to take you back to Chania, wrapping up a day filled with unforgettable experiences and natural beauty.

We had plenty of free time at each stop, and everything was well-organized. Friendly guides.

Fiona

Gramvousa was breathtaking, we hiked up to the fortress it was worth it for the views. Balos was busy but stunning, with white sand and clear waters perfect for swimming.
