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…”
