Tour Description

The island of Gramvousa is located 20km northwest of Kissamos, opposite the imposing Cape of Gramvousaand 2 miles northwest of the famous lagoon of Balos. Gramvousa is famous for its historical Venetian fortress, which still stands at a height of 137m, over the beach. The fort had also been used by pirates; one legend tells that there is a great treasure buried in the island. Also, the old wreck that was abandoned many years ago near the beach, has become an characteristic part of the landscape.
A great trip for any Chania visitor is the mini-cruise to Gamvousa and Balos!
On board and throughout the journey, you can enjoy your meal in the self-service restaurants of the ship, where traditional Cretan dishes are being offered, or at the ship’s bar.
