What To Expect
Balos Lagoon
Starting the trip our ride to Balos will last 30min. We will stop at the turquoise waters spending an hour. The wild nature beauty and beautiful exotic scenery will enchant you. The sea is vey shallow and warm, ideal for young children. In many places the sand has a lovely pinkish color because of millions of crushed shells. Come back on board for a cold drink, our staff always willing to assist you. Gramvousa island stands just across. Please make sure you are going back on board on time.
Gramvousa Beach
Our next stop is going to be just across "the island of Gramvousa" for one more hour. Gramvousa is famous for its historical Venetian fortress, which still stands at a height of 137m, over the beach. The fort had also been used by pirates, one legend tells that there is a great treasure buried in the island.The view from there is stunning. A good idea in case you are going to admire that 360 panoramic view is to bring a pair of sneakers with you, because there is only a trail that will guide you at the top. Also the old wreck that was abandoned many years ago near the beach, has become an characteristic part of the landscape. We do offer on board free drinks. Welcome on board and enjoy!

4.00Remote location for pick up. Rent a car! You won’t regret it :) Check in was easy. Staff were friendly. Sit in back, lounge…you won’t regret that either. Both locations have remarkable water for swims. A bit rocky, water shoes are helpful. You’ll meet lovely people and swim in turquoise waters.
Best Way for Quality Balos Beach Time

5.00This experience is amazing for those who are interested in spending quality time at some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. This is a super efficient way to get to Balos and Gramvousa beaches. If your goal is to have a long and leisurely luxury sailing trip, this is not for you. However, if your goal is to spend the time on the sand and natural beauty of Crete, I strongly recommend this experience. They are a well organized small group that gets you to the beaches in 20 minutes time. Parking is plentiful and it is not crowded at all. Everyone from the base to the boat was super professional and friendly. This tour may not be for everyone, but it certainly was amazing for what we were looking for!
Loved every second!
