Join us on an unforgettable trip to Gramvousa and Balos!
We start by driving west across the island, making our first stop in Skaleta, near Rethymnon. Here, you will have some time to enjoy coffee or breakfast before we continue to Kissamos, where our boat journey begins.
The boat ride to our first destination takes about an hour. Along the way, we see a fascinating cave, which was likely an ancient shipyard. We also witness a rare natural phenomenon—one side of the island is rising while the other is sinking. The western side has risen between 6 and 9 meters above sea level!
Our first stop is Gramvousa, also called the “pirates’ island.” This area is home to over 100 bird species and 400 plant species, making it one of the most important natural habitats in the Eastern Mediterranean. You can visit the famous Venetian fortress of Gramvousa, built in 1579, which stands high on a rock. If you climb to the top, you will be rewarded with an amazing view. After exploring the area, you can swim in the crystal-clear waters of the beautiful beach or enjoy lunch on the boat.
In the early afternoon, we continue to Balos Lagoon, one of the most stunning places in Greece. Its breathtaking beauty is often compared to the exotic beaches of the Caribbean. You will have around 3 hours to relax and enjoy this paradise—an experience you will never forget!
