Description
Balos is a paradise situated 60 km northwest of Chania. It has white sand, a soft seabed, and crystal clear water. From the hills, it looks like a lagoon. Opposite the beach lies an island called Gramvoussa, with a Venetian castle on top. It provides a magnificent view of the area and the sea.
To reach Balos, one can take a 10 km track road from Kaliviani, a village close to Kissamos, which can be traversed by a 4-wheel car. Alternatively, visitors can go by excursion boat from Kissamos. It is certainly one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete.
