    Arriving at Balos Lagoon, you'll step into one of Crete’s most breathtaking locations. Famous for its shallow turquoise waters and soft white sand, Balos feels like a tropical paradise.

The striking rock formations and wild islets surrounding the lagoon create an otherworldly landscape, making it a dream location for photography.

    Balos Lagoon & Gramvousa

    Arriving at Gramvousa Island, you’ll be greeted by a landscape where history and nature blend harmoniously. This island, once a pirate hideout, offers a mix of adventure, stunning scenery, and rich heritage. You will have 1 hour and 15 minutes to explore its wonders. One of the highlights is the Venetian fortress, perched 137 meters above sea level. A 20-minute hike takes you to its ancient walls, where you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean and Balos Lagoon. If you prefer to relax, the island’s secluded beach invites you to swim in crystal-clear waters, sunbathe on the soft sand, or snorkel around a shipwreck, a hauntingly beautiful remnant of the past. The rugged cliffs, golden-hued rocks, and wild flora create an awe-inspiring atmosphere. Whether you choose to dive into history or unwind by the shore, Gramvousa promises an experience that is both invigorating and unforgettable.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Falasarna Balos and Gramvousa Private Boat Trip?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
