Beginning early and heading west, the journey leads to the port of Kissamos. Here, the boat is boarded for an enjoyable one-hour sail along the coastline. Upon arrival at the port of the former pirate island of Gramvousa, stories are shared about how, during the Turkish occupation, the island’s residents began looting passing ships, earning the island its pirate reputation. A visit to the Venetian castle atop a steep rock is highly recommended, as it is one of Greece’s most impressive castles.
There is ample time for swimming or enjoying lunch on board. The boat then sets off for the Blue Lagoon of Balos, a shallow and warm water lagoon reminiscent of those in the Caribbean. Disembarkation occurs 50 meters from the shore, in compliance with the law, as there is no approach pier. Balos is renowned as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Delight in a wonderful swim and relax for about 3 hours before boarding for the return sail. This is truly an experience to cherish for a lifetime!
