Boat Trip from Kissamos to Gramvousa Island and Balos Lagoon with Snorkeling

About the Activity

What to Expect

Come aboard our top-equipped motorboat and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Crete’s hidden gems during our boat trip from Kissamos. In a small group, you and your loved ones will be able to enjoy picturesque coastal views and fascinating landmarks that are rich in history, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

After our departure from the port of Kissamos, we will head directly to the island of Gramvousa, known as the “island of pirates”. Here, you will have the opportunity to visit unique sights such as the popular Gramvousa Fortress built by the Venetian in the 16th century or the Tersanas Cave, an ancient shipyard. Take the chance and explore its charming beach taking a dip in the crystal clear sea or enjoying some delicious snacks before we continue to the Balos Lagoon as the next highlight of our journey.

Outside the Balos Lagoon, you will have the opportunity to discover its turquoise waters by swimming or with our snorkeling equipment. Inside this popular natural landmark, you can enjoy stunning views of this spectacularly colored water in combination with white sand shimmering under the Cretan sun. At the end of our adventure, we will bring you back to our meeting point in Kissamos.
