Balos: A Cretan beach you have to visit at least once in your life! White sand, tropical vivid clear waters and natural exotic beauty. That’s Balos. With a breathtaking view, the lagoon of Balos offers you a unique sightseeing.
It is located around 56 km northwest of Chania City. The cape Gramvousa and the small cape Tigani are the natural borders of this sandy beach.
Relax in the pink and white sand that was created by small crushed shells, swim in the clear and warm turquoise waters and let the children play freely in the shallow sea. If you are into snorkeling, the bottom next to the rocks will reward you.
Balos is under the Natura Protection program since it has various and uncommon kinds of plants and animals. It’s also a shelter for Caretta Caretta and the monk seal. According to The Guardian newspaper, Balos is one of the best beaches in Europe and Tripadvisor listed it among the 10 best beaches in the world.
There are not enough words to describe the beauty of Balos. It has been fairly photographed countless times as it is one of the most charming places in Greece. Cretan Harmony Cruises give you the possibility to visit this one of a kind place with all the comforts.
