Boat Trip from Marathi Bay to
Seitan Limani, Balos, Gramvousa & Elafonisi

TOUR DESCRIPTION

See Crete’s most famous coastal highlights in a single day—by boat. This 9-hour boat trip from Marathi Bay (Chania) combines dramatic coves, turquoise lagoons, historic island views, and one of Greece’s most iconic beaches. It’s the ideal choice if you want to visit Seitan Limani, Balos Lagoon, Gramvousa Island, and Elafonisi Beach with a smooth, time-efficient itinerary.

Seitan Limani Beach
Our first stop is Seitan Limani, a spectacular narrow bay framed by steep cliffs and bright, clear water. It’s one of the most photographed locations in Chania—perfect for a refreshing swim and incredible photos from the sea.

Balos Lagoon
Next, we head to the world-famous Balos Lagoon, known for its shallow, warm waters and unreal shades of blue and turquoise. Arriving by boat gives you a unique perspective of the lagoon and the surrounding wild landscape. Swim, snorkel, and relax in one of Crete’s most unforgettable natural settings.

Gramvousa Island
Gramvousa Island is included in the trip—where history meets breathtaking scenery. If you choose to hike up, the Venetian fortress offers panoramic views over Balos and the coastline. Or stay closer to the water and enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear sea around the island.

Elafonisi Beach
We finish with Elafonisi Beach, famous for its pink sand and luminous lagoons. With plenty of space to unwind, it’s perfect for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the unique landscape that makes Elafonisi one of the best beaches in Crete.

Optional Stop: Menies Beach
If conditions allow—and depending on what the group wants—we can add Menies Beach as an optional extra stop. Menies is quieter and more remote, ideal for guests who want a more secluded swim away from the crowds.
