We travel by bus from Rethymno to the outskirts of Chania and the port of Kastelli. A boat will be waiting to take us to the island of Gramvousa and the beautiful lagoon of Balos. When sailing you will have the chance to see a large cave, which is thought to be an ancient shipyard. At the end of the bay, you will see an impressive geological phenomenon. In Gramvousa you will see a rusty shipwreck. This is “Dimitrios P”, a motor ship that sank in 1968. From the Venetian fort on the island of Gramvousa there is a breathtaking view over Balos. The boat continues to Balos (or the other way around depending on the itinerary). This exotic beach-lagoon and rare natural monument is situated between the Gramvousa peninsula and Cape Tigani. The boat is open to enter at all times and the self-service bar is open throughout the cruise, offering Cretan traditional delicacies and other dishes. Don’t forget your swimwear for our stay in the white/pink coral sanded lagoon of Balos.
