What to Expect from Boat Trip To Balos Beach And Gramvousa Islands

Your Cretan adventure begins at Chania’s old port. Here, you’ll embark on an unforgettable boat trip to Balos and the majestic Gramvousa Island. Awaiting you is a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) vessel, primed for this journey. With a skilled skipper at the helm, familiar not just with the waves but also with Crete’s rich history, you’re in for an enlightening ride.

The vessel first charts a course to Menies Beach. This slice of paradise offers an hour of bliss, with its crystal clear waters offering a tempting invitation. Bask under the Cretan sun, feeling the grains of Balos Beach under your feet and the whispers of ancient ruins.

The boat trip’s next chapter takes you towards Gramvousa Island, a beacon of Crete’s historical tapestry. The Venetian fortress here stands as a testament to the island’s resilient past. Gramvousa’s cliffs and vantage points also offer spectacular views, especially of the nearby Balos Lagoon. After taking in the island’s sights, your cruise to Balos Beach promises even more enchantment. Here, the Balos Lagoon unfurls its beauty, with its unique palette of blues and greens. For two hours, Balos captivates, whether you choose to sunbathe, swim, or simply revel in the view.

But the journey isn’t over yet. Your return cruise to Chania is peppered with surprises. Depending on the day’s weather, the skipper might adjust the itinerary slightly, possibly introducing you to hidden gems along Crete’s coastline. Kissamos, with its picturesque Kissamos Port, might just be on the cards. And if you’re lucky, the tranquil lagoon of Balos might make a second appearance.
