Our trip starts early in the morning, when a comfortable tourist coach picks you up at your hotel. During our journey along the north coast of Crete, you will enjoy the beautiful scenery of the island.

Upon arrival at the port of Kissamos, we board a comfortable ship that leaves for Balos Bay. Along the way, we will be able to admire indescribable views of the sea and mountains.

There are about 3 hours of free time for swimming and exploring the surrounding area on Balos. You can enjoy the rich underwater world, the beauty of the beaches, and the ruggedness of the mountains.

After Balos, we head to the rocky island of Gramvousa, which lies not far from Balos. The Venetians built, a fortress at an altitude of 136 m above sea level in the Middle Ages. Today you can either visit this fortress, which offers a beautiful view of the surroundings, or continue swimming and sunbathing.

On the way back to Kissamos, you can enjoy drinks or ice cream at the ships bar.
