Day Trip Details

We'll pick you up at the indicated time from your hotel in Chania and from there, we'll travel to the north-west of Crete. Are you ready to visit two of the most beautiful places on the island?

After a journey of about 45 minutes, we'll arrive at the port of Kissamos, where a boat will be waiting to take us to Balos Lagoon. We'll reach this enclave after a pleasant hour-long crossing.

Once we arrive at this paradise, you'll have 4 hours of free time to take a refreshing dip in this idyllic corner of the Aegean Sea, snorkel in its crystal-clear waters and eat the food you have brought with you.

At the end of this free time, we'll meet again to sail to the island of Gramvousa, where we'll see the remains of its ancient Venetian fortress. The views from this spot are truly breathtaking!

After visiting these ruins, we'll leave the island behind and begin the journey back to Kissamos. After disembarking at the port, we'll take you back to your hotel in Chania, where we'll conclude this approximately 10-hour adventure.
