(CHQ55) Powerboat Tour to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island Full Day

Balos Lagoon stands out as one of Greece’s most breathtaking destinations, featuring a unique beach adorned with various sea shells. The crystal-clear waters invite you for a swim, creating an illusion so mesmerizing that you might think you’re dreaming. Departing from Chania harbor, we cruise towards secluded bays, reaching Balos Lagoon just before the influx of large ferries, ensuring a tranquil experience in the majestic blue lagoon. Our journey continues to Gramvousa Island, home to the renowned castle built by the Venetians in 1579. A 20-minute walk (Optional) takes you to the castle’s highest point, offering panoramic views of Balos Lagoon and a chance to swim in the pristine waters. As we sail back, enjoy breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains and stop at Menies beach for a swim in a secluded and picturesque setting. Our final swim stop takes place at Theodorou Island, a protected park famous for the Cretan Ibex “Kri-Kri,” providing a fitting conclusion to our journey.
