FAQ

Common questions about this trip

Is this better than the big ferry to Balos?

For guests who want privacy, flexible timing and a smaller group experience, a private boat is usually the more comfortable option. The route still depends on sea conditions.

Can we visit both Balos and Gramvousa?

Is Balos suitable for families?

Yes, the private pace works well for families, especially because the trip can be adjusted around swimming, heat and comfort.
