About this tour

This is the way to tour Balos!
We had a great time with Skipper Lefteris on our private Balos tour from Kissamos. Our group ranged from 6-70 yrs old and everybody enjoyed it.
He is very knowledgeable with the area and spent most of the trip pointing out points of interest and explaining the story behind each.
He made sure we all had a good time and saw all the amazing views.
The boat was also fully stocked with beer and soft drinks and good sandwiches were provided.

Balos is a place that you definitely need to visit when u are in Crete. The experience of taking a private boat to there is just amazing. The captain is awesome (he is also a great tour guide ) and the boat is so comfortable. Highly recommended !
