It's a tedious process, it takes forever until the people are brought from the ship to shore in small boats. The bay is overcrowded and dirty

The following warnings for this trip:
Lots of time spent picking up people;
Bus was completely packed;
Tour guide barely narrated the trip;
Tour guide could not be understood half of the time;
They packed the cruise & it was impossible to find places to sit on the upper deck;
Be aware of the people rushing and cutting the lines to get in and and out of the boat.It was a disaster, but the view from top of the fort was worth a million dollars. 3 stars was too generous for Platos Tours !

Have a good day overall, the sites are magical even if there are a lot of people in the middle of August obviously. Comfortable, air-conditioned bus. Boat tickets should be included in the service. We had the possibility of having a round trip pickup at Analipsi but the chosen and confirmed meeting point was not respected. The guide Markos absolved himself of any responsibility and we had to battle with the driver Vassimi for the return who did not want to make too much effort! Plan a big day with a very early departure and a return around 9 p.m.

Such a wonderful way to explore Balos and Gramvousa Island. They give you more than enough time to explore, have a comfortable coach and organised. The only downside is how busy the ferry can be so if you get there late you may not get a seat and it’s a long boat ride.
