What to expect

Experience a breathtaking journey to the westernmost point of Crete, where pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and ancient history come together for an unforgettable adventure!

Your excursion begins with a scenic boat ride from Kissamos, offering spectacular views as we approach the Gramvousa Peninsula. Along the way, you’ll witness the fascinating geological phenomenon where the land has risen 6 to 9 meters above sea level, as well as the remains of the ancient Tersanas shipyard.

Upon arrival at Gramvousa Island, you’ll have two incredible options: relax on the stunning beach with its crystal-clear waters and endless sea views, or hike up to the Venetian castle perched on a steep rock, rewarding you with breathtaking panoramic vistas. Next, a short boat trip will bring you to the famous Balos Lagoon, a tropical paradise of shallow, warm turquoise waters and a white sandy beach. Spend time swimming, sunbathing, and exploring one of Crete’s most beautiful natural wonders.
