Great trip to Balos and Gramvousa Beach! The ferry to the beach was quite large and clean with convenient cafe for drinks/food and "beach stuff". Balos Beach was incredible with amazing clear water! Gramvousa beach was more rocky but nice and it you want, you can climb up to the castle. My only criticism is that the ferry should leave a little ealier (like 10am) to give us more time at Balos Beach.
But we loved this trip and would recommend to everyone!

Somewhat overrated but the sail there was visually awesome!
Off the boat onto very sharp rocky walk to beach...not pleasant!
