Discover the stunning beaches of Balos Lagoon and Falasarna in Crete on this private guided jeep tour from Chania!

Chania is a beautiful coastal city in northern Crete, the largest of the Greek Islands. The city is known for its old harbour, narrow streets, and breathtaking natural beauty, framed by the White Mountains to the south and the deep blue waters of the Aegean Sea to the north. On this jeep tour in Chania, you'll visit two of the most iconic beach destinations in the area!

This excursion is for private groups of up to 6 participants. You will receive an exclusive tour with an experienced guide. The trip can also be altered and personalised to suit your preferences! To start your adventure, the local guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Chania (please specify your location when booking). After a quick itinerary briefing, your tour to Balos Lagoon begins! The guide will drive through the picturesque scenery of north-western Crete, sharing insights about the local landmarks, charming villages, and unique olive groves you pass.

You'll drive down the Gramvousa Peninsula and be treated to mesmerising panoramic coastal views of Balos Lagoon and Gramvosa Island. After parking the jeep, you have the option of walking for 10 minutes to a natural balcony, which serves as a perfect viewpoint of the sandy beach and the azure waters below. Balos Lagoon is famous for its exotic mix of turquoise, shallow waters and fine white-pink sand, created by crushed shells. After capturing some memorable photos, the jeep tour in Chania continues to Falasarna Beach.

Falasarna is often ranked among the best beaches in Greece!
