Details
Do you want to treat yourself and your friends or family to a trip filled with beautiful scenery and amazing swimming spots? Then our boat trip to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa is perfect for you! We depart from the port of Kastelli in the morning or the afternoon, depending on your preference. We then make our way to our first destination: Balos Lagoon. This unique beach forms a natural bridge between two capes and has been a popular tourist attraction for years. We will stop here, so you have plenty of time to lay on the white sand beach, take a dip in the bright blue water, and go snorkeling with the equipment we provide.
When everyone is refreshed and back on the boat, we will cruise towards the island Gramvousa. During your time on the boat, you can enjoy a drink, while our friendly skipper answers all the questions you might have about your surroundings. When we reach Gramvousa, we will stop a second time. During the break, you can admire the Venetian fortress, built on a rock in 1579. You will also be able to see an impressive shipwreck, that sunk right before the beach of this island. Satisfied with all the beautiful things we have seen, we will then slowly make our way back to Kissamos.
If you book a tour with a duration of 4 hours or more, you will have more time to swim and relax and Balos Lagoon. Additionally, we will go on land at Gramvousa, to climb up to the fortress together and enjoy the view.

Our captain Alex was very friendly and agile to sail out of the bay over the wild waves (lots of wind).
Balos is the most beautiful beach we have ever seen, and in our opinion also a lot more beautiful than Elafonissi.
We were allowed to choose where we moored at Gramvoussa and chose the wreck to snorkel among the fish. This is also recommended.
We were also offered plenty of drinks and Alex was proud to let us taste his sandwiches!
