What you'll do

Embark on a scenic adventure to two of the most beautiful places in Crete. Your driver/guide will pick you up from your accommodation, and together, you'll set off on a rough road route to Balos Lagoon. Although the road to Lagoon Beach can be challenging, comfortable A/C 4WD vehicles provide a smooth ride and take you on a rugged off-road route that regular cars simply can't handle. You'll have the chance to experience the thrill and excitement of a true off-road adventure while taking in the stunning beauty of Lagoon Beach. 

As you drive along the rugged road en route to Balos, be sure to keep your camera ready to capture the sight of countless goats and sheep dotting the landscape. With stunning views at every turn, you'll have plenty of opportunities to snap some amazing shots.

After a brisk 10-minute walk, you'll be at the Balos View Point. It's recommended that you wear sports shoes or sandals to make the hike easy and safe. From the top of the mountain, you'll be greeted with an awe-inspiring view of the natural beauty surrounding you. Crystal-clear water glistens on the west side, while on the east side, you'll spot goats and sheep grazing on the mountainside. It's a truly unique and picturesque scene that you won't want to miss. 

After Balos, head to Falassarna Beach, where reserved sunbeds and umbrellas await you. With three whole hours to spend here, you'll have plenty of time to take a dip in the crystal-clear waters or simply bask in the warmth of the sun. Coffee, bottled water, or soft drinks are included in the price during your time at the beach. When hunger strikes, you'll head to a local restaurant just behind the beach for a delicious lunch. With local tastes, wine, and beer, you'll get to indulge in the authentic flavors of Crete.
