Loved this experience! Our tour guide (forgot her name) was lovely and on top of everything. Our driver Nikko was great too. They communicated with us all along the way and answered all of our questions. Especially at the bus stop where there were multiple travel agencies and multiple busses. The ferry ride was great and had wonderful selection of food and drinks. Balos was stunning! A must see beach- especially for our 3 teenagers. The Gramvousa (2nd stop) was also very beautiful. Highly recommend!!

We were picked up by tour bus that had people going to Elafonessi Beach as well as Balos and Gramvousa so it took a while to get to the port if you were some of the first pick-ups. We had about an hour at the port before the boat departed but it was a good time to grab some breakfast. The boat had a pretty good selection - you could only pay with a card. The hour long cruise around the islands was beautiful and the beaches were wonderful for swimming. There were no loungers and sand at Balos was very wet - our towels soaked it up like a sponge. Gramvousa had another nice swimming area and a fortress atop the hill that you could hike up to. Fairly strenuous hike but worth it as the view from the top was lovely. We had about 2 hrs at each beach. Altogether a very nice outing.
