The best way to visit Balos is by a private boat.

Our Chania to Balos Beach Boat will reveal to you the miracle of nature, exotic landscapes, a blue paradise lagoon, where you can swim in the shallow emerald waters and relax on the beautiful sandy beach. The famous Balos lagoon - the symbol of Crete - is located between Cape Gramvousa and the small Cape Tygani.
 

Balos is known for its wild natural beauty and exotic scenery. The lagoon has exotic white sand, bright blue and turquoise waters. The sea is very shallow and warm, ideal for young children.
 

In many places, sand has a beautiful pinkish shade due to millions of seashells broken by water. Outside the cliffs within the lagoon, the water is deeper and colder, which is ideal for snorkeling.
 

These few hours spent in such a heavenly place will remain in your memory forever.

GRAMVOUSA

After Balos we move to Gramvousa Island, famous for its Venetian fortress, which still stands at an altitude of 137 m. The fort was also used by pirates. One of the legends says that a large treasury is still hidden there. The fortress, built in the shape of an isosceles triangle, is located in the highest part of the island.

In addition, the old ship, which was abandoned many years ago near the shore, has become a characteristic part of the landscape. 

 

Between the island and the coast of Crete is located the picturesque lagoon of Balos, where the waters of three seas meet - the Aegean, Ionian and Libyan. Pure water plays in the sun in many different colors, and the shades of the sand vary from white to a pleasant pink.
