10 Private Tours in Kissamos That You Shouldn't Miss
Kissamos (Greek: Κίσσαμος) is a town and municipality, multiple (former) bishopric and Latin titular see in the west of the island of Crete, Greece. It is part of the Chania regional unit and of the former Kissamos Province which covers the northwest corner of the island. The city of Kissamos is also known as Kastelli Kissamou and often known simply as Kastelli after the Venetian castle that was there. It is now a port and fishing harbour, with a regular ferry from the Peloponnese via Kythira. A town museum is located in the old Venetian governor's palace and there have been important archaeological finds in the town, including fine mosaics, dating from the Roman city of Kisamos (Κίσαμος, Latinized as Cisamus). The head town of the municipality (Δήμος Κισσάμου) is Kastelli-Kissamos itself.

The crew is very friendly and we visited the prettiest beaches on our trip. We booked the 11 meter rib boat and were 5 people including the skipper. The boat has everything you want including a small fridge if you want to bring some drinks and enough space to lie down and tan during the trip. We also brought our speargun with us and the skipper stopped on some good spots where we could go for a couple dives. Definitely a must do when you go to Chania and I’m really looking forward to the next time!

So glad I was able to get a tour with Aliki! My son and I loved our walking tour of Chania and sharing a cold coffee to begin! Aliki completely tailored our time to what we wanted to see and accomplish. She has a great disposition and knows everyone in town, it seems! We learned a lot and took some beautiful pictures of the town. I recommend anyone take this tour- a local always knows the best places.

4. Gramvousa and Balos Private Tour from Chania
Overall Ratings
2.0 based on 1 reviews
A great trip for any Chania visitor is the mini-cruise to Gramvousa and Balos! Our trip starts at your hotel or a location in its vicinity, with our bus. Our destination is the port of Kisamos. As soon as we reach the port, you go aboard the ship to set out on the cruise. The ship departs from the port at 10:20. An hour later you reach the small island of Gramvousa. The ship stays at the island for two hours. The castle of Gramvousa is to be found at the top of the island… built by Venetians on top of some steep cliffs in order to act as a fortification protecting the island, today it offers visitors a panoramic view to the amazingly blue waters of the Cretan sea. If you wish so, you can climb up the path to the castle, if not, you can stay on the beach and swim. (Climbing will take you at least 20 min to reach the castle. Proper hiking shoes are a must!).The ship departs from Gramvousa Island at 13:30, the breath-taking lagoon of Balos being its destination…
