About the experience

Embark on a captivating full-day boat trip (approximately 4 hours) departing from Kissamos Port in Chania, designed to immerse you in the stunning natural beauty of western Crete. Our adventure begins as we sail to the iconic island of Gramvousa, a historical and natural landmark. Here, you will have the opportunity to explore the well-preserved Venetian fortress that sits dramatically at the top of the island, offering unparalleled panoramic views of the surrounding coastline and the azure Aegean Sea. Afterwards, enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal clear waters that fringe its shores.

Our journey continues to the world-famous Balos Lagoon, a truly magical location where shallow, vibrant turquoise waters meet expanses of pristine white and pink sand. This unique landscape is every photographer’s dream and an ideal place for a leisurely swim or simply to relax in the warm, shallow lagoon. Take time to enjoy the extraordinary beauty of this natural wonder, often described as one of the most stunning beaches in Crete.

While we focus on these two stunning destinations, our itinerary may also include glimpses of less crowded, more secluded private beaches along the coastline. These hidden gems offer a taste of tranquility and the untouched beauty of the Cretan coast, creating a contrast to the more popular spots. This 4-hour excursion offers a perfect combination of exploration, history and relaxation, allowing you to experience the sights of Gramvousa and Balos Lagoon in a convenient amount of time, creating unforgettable memories of the stunning west coast of Crete.

    We loved everything about our boat trip. Our Skipper, Harry, was fantastic. He understood we liked the quiet beaches and took us to some stunning locations where it was just us. Thank you!

    Excellent moment with Giorgios and his boat. Our kids loved the trip and so did we. We were even alone during our visit to Gramvousa castle. Definitely the best way to avoid the crowd of tourists in this area and enjoy the beautiful scenery . Highly recommended.

    Giorgos was very professional and knowledgeable. When we first booked out trip with him he suggested to change it to another day for he thought the ocean would be too rough on that day (it was almost 1 week away). He was right about it and we would not have known without his advice. Anyway, we rebooked it to the following day. The ocean was calm and we had a great time on his boat. He took us various hidden beaches avoiding large groups of tourists. We highly recommend his service!

    We had a great day out with Georgios as the skipper. We parked at Kissamos Harbour (lots of free parking so very stress free!) Georgios saw us walking around the harbour and waved us over to his boat. Very nice man, welcomed us aboard with nice cold water. Georgios also had a box full of ice cold soft drinks, beer and sandwiches which was so appreciated. Georgios knew the area very well and took us after the main crowds dispersed so it felt extra magical. Thank you so much for a great trip!

    We had a really nice day with Giorgos. He arranged for a taxi to come get us from Chania, who arrived early and was very nice- he even greeted us with cold water for the ride back. Giorgos was ready for us to arrive on time and we had a really nice visit to Gramvousa and Balos. He checked on us a few times, offering sandwiches and drinks. Only suggestion is make sure to bring good walking shoes for Gramvousa or ask in advance if he thinks you will need shoes. Thanks for a nice day!

    Great experience and great skipper. He knows perfectly the area and will show you some local gems. Very friendly and very discrete in the same time (we were 2 on the boat). Highly recommended!

    That was a perfect day! Nice boat. We were able to adapt each stop as we want. Balos is best beach we saw in our life. But we also appreciated the last stop. It was not expected. The blue of the water was just incredible! Never saw such blue. Thanks you giorgos for that day and your great service like the free snacks!
