Could have spent time around the shops and had lunch :) But overall it was great!”

The only thing I didn’t like was that our transfer was a little late picking us up in the morning so this delayed things a little bit & we didn’t get much time to explore one of the islands. But everything else was fantastic. Thank you”

Chania: Balos Gramvousa Cruise with Transfer and Boat Ticket

7.Balos Gramvousa Cruise with Transfer and Boat Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 925 reviews · from $47

Travel from Chania to Kissamos Port by air-conditioned bus, then cruise to Gramvousa and Balos Lagoon. You get time to swim, snorkel, hike to a Venetian castle, and use the boat’s bar-restaurant. Pickup is from a nearby meeting point, with Greek and English guidance.

“The trip to Balos is absolutely a must when in Chania! The beach is gorgeous and I would visit again any day! While I think making the trip to Balos is worth while, the only real value that buying it here is the arranged transportation by bus from a stop near your hotel. But otherwise, it’s entirely possible to organize the trip yourself given that the tour guide does not join for the trip to the beaches. The tour guide only stayed with us until we got to the ferry and then wasn’t there for the return. Chania has a great bus system with buses leaving to Balos from Chania…”

8.Transfer & Cruise to Symi Island & St. George Bay

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 919 reviews · from $67

Take the modern Doll from Rhodes to St. George’s Bay for a 1.5-hour swim and snorkel stop, then spend three hours in Symi’s handsome harbour town, Yialos. Hotel transfers, snorkel gear, Wi-Fi, shaded seating, toilets, and an air-conditioned salon are included. Lunch and drinks cost extra.

“My only complaint was the lack of any form of safety instruction and hardly any interaction from the crew of Doll. Once you were onboard you got the minimum announcements and that was it. Positives: transfers were good, a bit haphazard with timings but that’s ok. Boat was spectacular. Symi was a joy, what a stunning place and the restaurant we found up a side street , Taverna Napaloa, served great fresh food at a very reasonable price. It’s easy to while away 3 hours in Symi, a leisurely stroll around the harbour looking at the lovely stalls and shops and a stop off for a beer while looking out…”

“This was a simple but enjoyable daytime cruise around Santorini which was about 4.5 hours. The pick up location was changed via email in advance so check your messages- this was due to the small streets and lack of access. Plan on the pick up being 45 minutes before your cruise time, depending on where you are staying. We cruised to the sulfur springs (not actually hot), Palia Kameni and Nea Kameni, over to the red beach and the white beach. Swimming at all locations. Towels provided. BBQ at the white beach which included options of fish, chicken, pork and vegetarian options. Plus a small buffet of items that were…”

Some parts of the hike were intense for a mid-aged not in a great shape woman, but we stopped to rest and hear more stories or learn about plants and nature. Definitely worth the efforts! Highly recommend”
