Join this dreamy 4 hours tour for unforgettable memories visiting some of the most well-known and photographed beaches on NorthWest Crete, Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa.

Balos is famous for its white sand and exotic white, vivid blue and turquoise waters, the wild natural beauty, and the beautiful exotic scenery.

Absolutely a unique beach full of many different crushed shells, given a lovely pinkish color, with shallow and warm waters, ideal for young children. Beyond the rocks at the boundaries of the lagoon, the water is deeper and colder, ideal for snorkeling. The lagoon and the wider area, with rare species of flora and fauna, are protected under the Natura 2000 program.

Leaving Chania harbor we are enjoying the ride while heading to secluded bays. After about an hour we reach Balos Lagoon - before the big ferries arrive full of people - so we can peacefully enjoy a refreshing break in the majestic blue lagoon.

After Balos we continue to Gramvousa Island and the small port of Gramvousa with the famous castle built in 1579 by the Venetians at the highest point of the island, on top of a steep, 137-meter-high rock. Its majestic beauty combined with the panoramic view of Balos lagoon and the legend of hidden pirate treasure linked to it, are good reasons to put on comfortable shoes and take the 20-minute walk that will get you up there.

Here you can also swim in the beautiful crystal clear waters. Leaving the Gramvousa Island and Balos Lagoon we follow the same route back close to the Rocky Mountains where the views are breathtaking until we return back to Chania old harbor.

Paradise is closer than you think.
