If you’re planning a trip to Crete, make sure Balos Beach is on your list of must-visit destinations. Renowned for its turquoise waters, pristine white sand, and breathtaking landscapes, this iconic beach is a true gem for those seeking an idyllic getaway. Whether you’re an adventure enthusiast or just looking for a serene escape, Balos Beach offers something for everyone.
Balos Beach is more of a spectacle of natural beauty than just a beach. Situated on the northwest coast of Crete, this dreamy lagoon comes framed by rugged cliffs near Kissamos and is kissed by gentle waves. Shallow, warm waters paired with a unique pinkish colour due to crushed seashells make the beach well-known.
This is a perfect place to relax in the sun-kissed Mediterranean Sea and enjoy a swim in its crystal waters, along with taking Instagrammable pictures for everyone at home.
The road trip to the Balos Beach is just as memorable as the destination. You can also get here by boat from the port of Kissamos; this, too, provides a rather scenic ride around the coast of Crete. If you are adventurous enough, drive the dirt road along to take in views of the lagoon that the trail affords.
Pro tip: It is best to go during early morning or late afternoon as the crowds are fewer, and the place is quiet.
