Detailed description

Balos Beach & Gramvousa Tour from Kissamos by private boat with skipper

Those who spend their holidays in the west of Crete and want to get to know one of the most beautiful beaches of the island will find that the blue lagoon of Balos is the best place to be. Not for nothing is this colourful "South Sea paradise" one of the most photographed highlights of Crete. Of course, there are many large excursion boats with robbers moored there, who would like to swim in the turquoise water or walk along the long sandy beaches. A good alternative if you want to go from Kissamos to Balos alone with family and friends is a private boat trip. In this way you can be more independent and be on the water for yourself. For this half or full day trip, very comfortable and modern rigid inflatable boats (RIB) are available, which are perfectly suited for a beach tour on Crete. If you choose a private Balos boat tour from Kissamos with skipper, you can choose between a duration of 4 and 6 hours. 

The cruise to Balos and Gramvousa starts in the morning in the harbour of Kissamos and goes directly through the bay of the same name. The crossing to Balos takes only about 30 minutes. During this time you will get a glimpse of the coastal landscape of the West and can enjoy the warm wind and anticipation on board. Arrived in the lagoon of Balos, we anchor for an extensive bathing stay. If you choose the 4-hour tour, we will take about 1.5 hours for swimming and snorkeling, for the longer tour it is 2.5 hours. From Balos the Kissamos boat tour continues to Gramvousa. The island is only a few minutes drive away and is a Crete jewel, similar to Balos. It is especially famous for a Venetian castle high above the beach and a large wreck on the south side. Here too we drop anchor for a nice swim. Snorkelling equipment on board. The skipper serves drinks and snacks.

The Kissamos Balos tour in a private boat is pretty much the fastest and easiest way to get to this paradise.
