6.Chania/Almyrida: Balos Gramvousa Day Trip with Boat Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 590 reviews · 12 hours · from $64

Ride an air-conditioned bus from Chania-area pickup points to Kissamos, then sail to Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa. Swim in clear, shallow water, see the Dimitrios P shipwreck, and climb to a 16th-century Venetian fortress. Guides such as Vicky, Eva, and Irene are praised for keeping the long day organized.

“Not only was Balos Lagoon beautiful, but we got to finish the day with Gramvousa which honestly I preferred to Balos! I hiked up to the fortress then went for a quick swim in the beautiful water. Whole docking at Balos took entirely too long (I think maybe 45 minutes?) and cut into our time, that was the only downside. Our guide was just lovely and warm and I really enjoyed meeting her. Highly recommend!”

“The ferry was ferry nice, upscale and comfortable! I loved thang they had a coffee shop and bakery inside! Once the ferry took off, you could get up and move around throughout. We arrived at our destination in the allotted time and found our bus right away. The guide recommended a few famous photo places but never took us there, you were on your own. I would recommend you get all of your goods and souvenirs in Santorini main area because it’s significantly cheaper than when the guide took us to the lesser known city of Santorini. I was so glad I decided to do that. Disappointed I didn’t think…”

I called the number and it went straight to voicemail where I was told to send an email, which I did and also left a voicemail to call me back ASAP. A security guard told us that the ferry was leaving from the Port of Miami so we went there. After we confirmed the ferry was not leaving from the Port of Miami with the local personnel, I received a text showing an email from 3 Feb stating the ferry was cancelled. I never received the email…”

Travel from Dubrovnik to Montenegro by air-conditioned minivan or coach, stopping in Perast and Kotor. You’ll take a boat to Our Lady of the Rocks, hear local history from English-speaking guides, and get about two hours to explore Kotor Old Town.

“The description of the trip doesn’t match up to what we got to actually do. It definitely wasn’t worth the 12 hour trip, could’ve spent it in Croatia instead! Majority of the trip, you’re on different forms of transportation! Not much to see overall! Also, upon booking or confirmation I was never informed of a 6 euro tourist tax that I would need to pay on the bus. I was then told I could exchange usd for euros when we get to our 3rd stop. And when we got to our 3rd stop, all the banks said they either don’t exchange or were done exchanging for the day. We were…”

“It's a shame your company is, by advertising and making profits, causing travellers like myself and thousands of others to descend on a little island clearly totally unable to cope with the volume of tourists and so spoiling what should have been a quiet and enjoyable day. Nowhere to relax, nowhere to enjoy the beauty, just the most stressful and suffocating experience I've ever encountered - too many people!!!!!!!!!!”
