Review of the Gramvousa and Balos tour from Chania, with ferry travel, beach time, castle views, costs, crowds, and practical tips.
“Apart from a number of pick up points, the journey to the boat was an interesting insight of the Island. Our guide Carolina was very informative. After boarding the boat (an old car ferry) which was very comfortable and offered food and drinks the entire trip, we sailed to the Pirate Island of Gramvousa. You are able to go onto the Island. It has a sandy beach with limited shade and view the old fortification there if you fancy the climb. Trainers or walking footwear needed. Balos lagoon is also nice. No shade. You need wet style footwear. In all the trip was excellent.”

“Excellente excursion... La prise en charge le matin a proximité de notre Hôtel est vraiment appréciable... horaire respecté. Notre guide très sympathique nous a bien expliqué le fonctionnement de la journée. Par contre il faut comprendre l'anglais aucune explication en Français ! Le temps d'arrêt sur les sites est suffisant et le bâteau vraiment pratique, tout a disposition même des douches. Mais excursion a faire hors période touristique car vraiment énormément de Mais néanmoins magnifique journée ! monde ce qui gâche un peu la journée.”

Review of the Chania to Balos and Gramvousa day trip, with boat costs, rocky landing, bus transfers, swim time, and practical tips.
“Nice daily excursion with a full program. The downside was the full boat (~700 people) that had to disembark through the water at Balos, on a rocky terrain. This created a crowded disembarkation with sailors in the water trying to help the people get across. Quite an adventure (not a bad thing), but with significant wasted time.”

“Fabulously well presented exhibits and descriptions. Great physical space to be in and great coffee and views from the elevated coffee shop. Good quality offering in the gift shop. The audio was heavily American accented, which I personally found somewhat irritating.”
