Discover the beauty of Greece during this boat trip to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Island with hotel pick-up and swimming stops! You will conveniently be picked up from a spot close to your accommodation by our air conditioned bus. The journey begins at Kissamos port, where you will board a comfortable boat equipped with shaded seating areas and refreshments available for purchase. As we depart, enjoy the scenic views of the coastline as we head towards Balos Lagoon.
Upon arrival at the renowned Balos Lagoon, you will be mesmerised by its turquoise waters and unspoiled natural beauty. The warm, shallow sea is ideal for families with young children, while the sandy beaches with their unique pinkish hue invite you to relax. For the more adventurous, beyond the lagoon's boundaries, the deeper and colder waters offer a perfect spot for snorkeling amidst a rich variety of rare flora and fauna. After enjoying the delights of Balos, the tour continues to Gramvousa Island.
On Gramvousa Island, explore the historical Venetian fortress that stands tall at a height of 137m, offering panoramic views and a glimpse into its intriguing past. The island's abandoned shipwreck near the beach adds a unique charm, making it a photographer’s paradise. After exploring these historical sites, we will head back to Kissamos port, where the bus will return you to your hotel. This trip is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the natural and historical beauty of Greece, with plenty of time to swim and explore.
