Join us on a fun and relaxing trip to Gramvousa Island and Balos Lagoon, two of the most stunning spots in Crete. We begin with a scenic drive west to the port of Kissamos, with a stop in Skaleta for coffee or a light breakfast.

From Kissamos, we board the boat for a one-hour cruise along the coast. Along the way, you’ll see a sea cave once used as a shipyard and observe a rare geological phenomenon—parts of the land are slowly rising or sinking.

Our first stop is Gramvousa Island, also called the “pirates’ island.” It’s rich in nature and history, with over 100 bird species and a 16th-century Venetian fortress. You can hike to the top for amazing views or swim in the crystal-clear sea before lunch on the boat.

Then we head to Balos Lagoon, famous for its turquoise water and soft white sand—often compared to the Caribbean. Spend about three hours here swimming, relaxing, and enjoying one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece.

It’s the perfect day to connect with nature, take stunning photos, and experience Crete’s wild beauty.
