About the activity

This 7-hour private boat trip around the Gramvousa and Rodopou Peninsulas begins at Chania's old port, near the Antigonis restaurant. There, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will help you board and give you a thorough safety and activity briefing. Once you're ready, you'll sail off! The first stop on this amazing adventure is the famous beach of Balos, where you can take in the breathtaking view of the sea and the Cretan "table" mountains, as well as discover the calm Kissamos Gulf, and the gorgeous Balos Lagoon. You'll stop to swim or snorkel and enjoy the tranquil waters.

The following stop will be Gramvousa Island. Gramvousa is well-known for its historical Venetian fortress, which still stands 137 meters above the beach. The fort was built on a rock in 1579 by the Venetians to protect their ships from the attack of Ottoman Corsairs. The fort was also used by pirates, and legend has it that a large treasure is buried on the island. In addition, an old wreck that was abandoned near the beach many years ago has become a distinguishing feature of the landscape. There are two large bays on the south side of the island, with the wreck located between them.
