Balos Lagoon
Skip the ferry crowds and reach Balos on your own terms. We navigate the rugged off-road trail of the Gramvousa peninsula in our premium vehicle, leading you to the famous viewpoint for the most iconic panoramic photos of Crete. After a short hike down, you’ll find the iconic viewpoint of the Lagoon, if you like you can continue the hike down to the beach and explore the turquoise shallow waters and rare pink sands of the lagoon. This is the ultimate way to experience Balos with 100% privacy and flexibility.

Gramboussa Restaurant
After your hike back from the lagoon, we pause for an optional lunch at the renowned "Gramvousa" restaurant, famous for its traditional recipes. Feeling more like a swimmer than a foodie? This stop is entirely flexible. We can skip the meal to extend your time at the beaches or discover hidden inland spots. Your driver adjusts the schedule to your mood and pace.
