Description - What to expect
Embark on a dreamy tour that promises unforgettable memories as you explore some of the most iconic and photogenic beaches in Northwest Crete.Balos Lagoon is a true gem and one of Greece’s most breathtaking destinations. Its unique beach, adorned with sea shells and surrounded by crystal-clear waters, invites you to swim in a setting so surreal, it feels like a dream. Departing from Chania harbor, we glide through secluded bays and arrive at Balos before the arrival of large ferries, ensuring a peaceful and serene experience in the stunning blue lagoon.
Next, we set sail for Gramvousa island, home to the impressive Venetian castle built in 1579. For those seeking adventure, an optional 20-minute walk leads to the castle’s highest point, offering panoramic views of Balos Lagoon and the surrounding landscape. You can also take a dip in the island’s pristine waters before we continue our journey.
On our return, enjoy the awe-inspiring scenery of the Rocky Mountains and stop at Menies beach for a swim in a hidden and picturesque cove. We conclude the tour at Theodorou island, a protected park known for its wild Cretan Ibex (“Kri-Kri”) offering an ideal final swim in an unspoiled environment.
Charter our Wellcraft Scarab Excel 31” 850hp Powerboat and enjoy the freedom and comfort of a full-day private tour.
