A great trip for any Chania visitor is the mini-cruise to Gramvousa and Balos! Our trip starts at your hotel or a location in its vicinity, with our bus. Our destination is the port of Kissamos. As soon as we reach the port, you go aboard the ship to set out on the cruise. The ship departs from the port at 10:40, the breathtaking lagoon of Balos being its destination. An hour later you reach the lagoon. Words can’t possibly do justice to the wild beauty your eyes will meet once you reach Balos. The ship departs 14:45 for the small island of Gramvousa. The journey lasts only about 20 minutes.

The ship stays at the island for one and a half hours. The castle of Gramvousa is to be found at the top of the island… built by Venetians on top of some steep cliffs in order to act as a fortification protecting the island, today it offers visitors a panoramic view to the amazingly blue waters of the Cretan sea. If you wish so, you can climb up the path to the castle, if not, you can stay on the beach and swim.
The ship departs from Gamvrousa Island at 16:45,. Onboard and throughout the journey, you can enjoy your meal in the self-service restaurants of the ship, where traditional Cretan dishes are being offered, or at the ship’s bar. You reach Kisamos Port an hour later our bus will be waiting for you there.
