Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience starting from Chania or Kissamos, boarding a comfortable, air-conditioned 19-seat minibus with an experienced local driver who speaks Greek, English, and German. Leave behind the stress of driving on rough roads or the worry that your rental car might get damaged. We take care of everything so you can enjoy the beauty of the route without any problems.
Head towards the enchanting peninsula of Gramvousa, crossing impressive rocky landscapes, lush Mediterranean vegetation, and enjoying a panoramic view of the vast Cretan Sea. Our vehicle takes you comfortably and safely along dirt roads that remain inaccessible to most – thus offering you an authentic, quieter version of a visit to Balos, away from the crowds of sea excursions.
The route ends at the path leading to the summit overlooking the famous Balos lagoon.

In the background, the island of Gramvousa with its historic Venetian castle stands proudly, completing the dreamlike picture.
This excursion is ideal for those seeking authenticity, privacy, and a unique way to visit one of Crete's most iconic natural treasures. Whether you want to relax, swim, or capture the moment with enchanting photos, Balos will reward you with every touch.
