Balos – Gramvousa

Escape to the legendary Blue Lagoon of Balos and the pirate island of Gramvousa on an unforgettable Cretan adventure!

Your journey to paradise begins bright and early from Georgioupoli around 8:30 AM, whisking you away to the port of Kissamos. By 10:30 AM, you’ll be embarking on a pleasant voyage, hugging the stunning coastline. Keep your eyes peeled! Along the way, witness a truly remarkable sight – the ancient phenomenon of land elevation, where the coastline has risen 6 to 9 meters over the last 2000 years, a geological marvel more prominent here than anywhere else on Crete.

The main event: the world-famous Balos Lagoon. Prepare to be mesmerized by this shallow, warm-water haven. Wade into the shiny, jade-like waters, a stunning hue created by the pristine white sand seabed. It’s a picture-perfect paradise! Throughout your stay at Balos, feel free to relax and enjoy the convenience of the boat’s halls and bars, always at your disposal.

After you will see captivating island of Gramvousa. Here, adventure awaits! Ascend a footpath (approx. 15 mins) to explore the magnificent Venetian castle, perched dramatically atop a steep rock, 137 meters above the sea. Considered one of Crete’s most impressive fortresses, the breathtaking panoramic views from the top and on your way back are simply spectacular. Afterwards, cool off with a refreshing swim in the island’s crystal-clear waters.

Don’t just dream of paradise – experience it! Join us for a day of incredible scenery, fascinating history, and blissful relaxation at Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island.
