Crociera di un giorno a Gramvousa e Balos da La Canea
Descrizione
Il nostro viaggio inizia dal tuo hotel o da una posizione nelle vicinanze, con il nostro autobus. La nostra destinazione è il porto di Kissamos. Non appena raggiungeremo il porto, salirai a bordo della nave per partire per la crociera. La nave parte dal porto alle 10:20. Un'ora più tardi raggiungerai la piccola isola di Gramvousa. La nave rimarrà attraccata per due ore. Il castello di Gramvousa si trova in cima all'isola. Se lo desideri, puoi risalire il percorso fino al castello oppure rimanere in spiaggia e nuotare (il tratto in salita per raggiungere il castello richiede almeno 20 minuti. Le scarpe da trekking obbligatorie!). La nave parte dall'isola di Gramvousa alle 13:30. Prossima fermata: la splendida laguna di Balos. Le parole non possono esprimere appieno la bellezza selvaggia che i tuoi occhi vedranno una volta raggiunta Balos. La sabbia bianca e rosa, le acque turchesi calde e poco profonde, le rocce che sembrano arrivare a toccare il cielo intorno alla laguna: tutti questi incredibili elementi si uniscono per creare un paesaggio paradisiaco!

Itinerario
Non appena raggiungiamo il porto, sali a bordo della nave per partire per la crociera. La nave parte dal porto alle 10:20. Un'ora dopo si raggiunge la piccola isola di Gramvousa. La nave rimane sull'isola per due ore. Il castello di Gramvousa si trova in cima all'isola... costruito dai veneziani in cima ad alcune ripide scogliere per fungere da una fortificazione che protegge l'isola, oggi offre ai visitatori una vista panoramica sulle acque incredibilmente blu del mare di Creta.
La nave parte dall'isola di Gramvousa alle 13:30, la laguna mozzafiato di Balos è la sua destinazione... Il viaggio è breve e dura solo circa 20 minuti. La nave raggiunge Balos alle 13:45 e rimane lì per 2 ore. Le parole non possono rendere giustizia alla bellezza selvaggia che i tuoi occhi incontreranno una volta raggiunto Balos... La sabbia bianca e in alcuni punti rosa, le acque turchesi calde e poco profonde, le rocce che si innalzano verso il cielo intorno alla laguna... tutti questi elementi straordinari si uniscono per creare un paesaggio paradisiaco, a cui sicuramente vorrai continuare a tornare!
A bordo e durante il viaggio, potrai gustare il tuo pasto nei ristoranti self-service della nave, dove vengono offerti piatti tradizionali cretesi, o al bar della nave. Raggiungi il porto di Kissamos un'ora dopo; il nostro autobus ti aspetterà lì per riportarti al tuo hotel.

Great trip to Balos and Gramvousa Beach! The ferry to the beach was quite large and clean with convenient cafe for drinks/food and "beach stuff". Balos Beach was incredible with amazing clear water! Gramvousa beach was more rocky but nice and it you want, you can climb up to the castle. My only criticism is that the ferry should leave a little ealier (like 10am) to give us more time at Balos Beach. But we loved this trip and would recommend to everyone!

Somewhat overrated but the sail there was visually awesome! Off the boat onto very sharp rocky walk to beach...not pleasant!

This was an extremely disappointing experience. My partner and I were excited to explore Balos in particular, but when the boat stopped 100 metres from shore with no explanation and then people just started jumping off the back of the boat for a swim, we were very confused. We did some research online only to find that the boat company had announced on their website a week prior that the boat was not allowed to dock at the beach anymore and this was as close as we’d get to Balos. We’re both strong swimmers, but did not want to just jump off the back of the boat and tread water with everyone else. We had no choice but to sit on the overcrowded boat for 2 hours waiting for the time to be up. There was no communication of this change prior to boarding and if we had known this, we would not have gone. We were allowed off the boat in Garmvousa but there was hardly any shade on a very hot day so everyone was crowded together under tiny trees. The water was nice but there were so many rocks and coral to step over to get to where it was nice to swim. The lack of communication of this IMPORTANT change was the major issue and we were very disappointed that we paid this money, came all this way and then just had to stare at Balos from the ocean and not even get to experience it.
We booked the day by ferry to Gramvousa and Balos. Nice stop in Gramvousa, but after getting back on (2 adults and 2 boys) we are told that the ship can not get to Balos and for those who want can take a swim in the water near the ship. All the tourists on board showed their disappointment, we were angry because nothing had been said, we also paid the fee for Balos... we did 2 hours on the way out and 2 on the way back, we lost a day or almost a holiday. We should have been warned right away.
If you are going to go to in this tour, beware it is long due to pick ups st hotels. I would suggest, especially if you have a car, to go to the port in Kissamos and get a ferry ticket that takes you to the 2 beaches. It will shave about 21/2 hours off your day. Beautiful places to visit.
This was nothing more than a ferry ride with two stops at some nice beaches. There was no interpretation or any discussion of the area's flora, fauna, or geology. We were allocated 90 to 120 minutes at the two stops. We were disappointed that there wasn't more commentary. It appeared to d=be designed for getting to the two beaches. Since I grew up in southern California, the beach scene doesn't impress me. Others, I suppose would think this is great.
Don’t bother unless you like overcrowded boats, beaches, bathrooms, vendors. Lack of sand and any type of sun cover. Everyone is fighting for themselves and make the whole trip uncomfortable.
Very nice water and beautiful beaches. Unfortunately, totally overrun. We felt on the (ship) like sardines and overpriced for the price. Better take a private tour. Once and never again.
Neither of us (4 friends) enjoyed it. It was VERY windy and EXTREMELY crowded. We had to think about securing seats on time (to and from the destination) - otherwise you could end up being very uncomfortable or standing on the boat. Same about dinner - being smart with timing to not stand in a long line which is the last thing you want to think about on vacation. Overall - read descriptions carefully, do research: # of people on the trip, travel time (our's was 4 hours to and from which is not worth it) at the minimum.
