Discover a Grecian paradise on this excursion to the island of Gramvousa and Balos Lagoon. Enjoy a day soaking in the natural beauty of stunning beaches.
Gramvousa & Balos Lagoon Excursion
We'll meet at the indicated time in Malia. From there, we'll head west until we reach Skaleta, a small town where we'll make a stop for breakfast.
With our batteries charged, we'll go to Kissamos, where we will board a boat to Gramvousa. Approaching, you will see the natural beauty of this island, known as 'Pirates Island.' From the boat, we will also witness a peculiar geological phenomenon: the simultaneous lifting and sinking of both sides of the island.
Once on Gramvousa, we will visit the Venetian fortress and learn about the island's history of pirates while enjoying views of the surrounding area. A great spot for photos!
You will have free time to relax on the beaches, swim in crystalline waters, explore the famous shipwreck, and bask in the sun.
In the afternoon, we will return to the boat to visit Balos Lagoon, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete. Here, you will have more free time to soak up the sun and enjoy paradise, before we return to our starting point.
The tour will end after a total of 16 hours.
