Itinerary
- Day 1
Located between Cape Gramvousa and Cape Tigani, Balos Lagoon is a famous destination in Crete, beloved by travelers visiting Crete from all over the world. Its turquoise waters, pink sands, and shallow waters make it ideal for families and snorkelers. Protected as an important natural ecosystem (Natura 2000), it is a haven for rare flora and fauna. This 2-day cruise is the best way to explore Balos and Gramvousa. Discover the unique seashore of Imeri Gramvousa islet and maybe even spot dolphins along the way.
- Day 2
The uninhabited islets of Agria and Imeri Gramvousa, lie just 2 miles northwest of Balos Lagoon. Imeri Gramvousa is known for its ancient Venetian fort that stands at an altitude of 137m. Also used by pirates, it is rumored to hide a great buried treasure.
A wrecked ship, now part of the landscape, rests close to the seaside, adding to its charm. Disembarking from our vessel, explore the fort, and enjoy the crystal-clear waters, ideal for snorkeling.
The island is a protected area (NATURA 2000), without any amenities to alter its unique, exotic character.
