Tour Description:
Your tour will begin at the Old Venetian Harbor from where we will make our way to the north-western most tip of Crete to the historical island of Gramvousa.
One can follow the path from the beach, which leads to the 16th century Venetian castle which is situated at the highest point of the island, and once served to protect the island from the Turkish expansionism. It offers breath taking views of Balos Lagoon, as well as the neighbouring islands of Wild Gramvousa and Antikythera with a backdrop of the endless blue Mediterranean Sea. You can also enjoy swimming and snorkelling at the virgin waters and shipwreck there.
We will then continue our visit to Balos Lagoon, recognized as one of the worlds most beautiful beaches, and one which is a must see when visiting Crete. Here you can swim in the crystal turquoise water, stroll in the shallow waters and white sand of the lagoon and take amazing photos of the exotic landscape.
Enjoying a private cruise to Balos Lagoon is a once in a life time experience!
