A boat trip to an island with an attractive beach and a lagoon-like beach.

Balos-Gramvousa island can be accessed by boat from Kissamos. Clear waters are all around the island. The nearby Balos sandy beach is formed as a lagoon with blue and green waters.

Reached by boat from Kissamos, the island of Gramvoussa with its Venetian fortress attracts the interest of tourists who combine the visit with a dive into the clear waters around the island. The Balos white sandy beach can be reached either by the same boat that takes you to Gramvoussa or on foot from the Kaliviani village (a little further to the west from Kissamos, 30 minute walk). No facilities exist on this beach where the sea is shaped in a lagoon with blue and green waters, while some parts are pink due to the corals that crushed into sand. In case you have a suitable car, you can also drive to the Balos beach through very rough stone country road.
