Balos Beach is one of the best in the world 🇬🇷
#beachcheck
Visiting Balos Beach in Crete was an unforgettable experience! 🏖️💙 Located on the northwestern tip of the island, this place is a true paradise. The drive to the beach is a bit of an adventure itself, with a dirt road and a bit of a hike down to the beach, but trust me, it's worth every effort! 🚶♂️ When you finally see the stunning turquoise waters and the white sand, you'll know you've arrived at one of the most beautiful spots in Greece. The water is shallow and crystal clear, perfect for a refreshing swim. 🌊
There’s no entrance fee to get to Balos, but if you prefer a more comfortable journey, you can take a boat tour from Kissamos, which costs around €30. The boat ride offers breathtaking views of the coastline and stops at the island of Gramvousa, where you can explore a Venetian fortress. 🏰 I spent my time at Balos sunbathing and snorkeling; the underwater life is amazing! 🐠 If you’re into photography, make sure to bring your camera because every angle is picture-perfect.
Nearby, you can explore Falassarna Beach, another stunning spot, or visit the town of Chania, about an hour’s drive away, to enjoy some traditional Cretan cuisine. 🍲 If you're planning a trip to Crete, don't miss out on Balos Beach. It’s the perfect spot to relax, soak up the sun, and marvel at nature’s beauty. 🌺 #trip #BalosBeach #CreteParadise #GreekIslands #BeachLife #TravelGreece
Balos Logoon ! Top spots in Crete!
Balos lagoon is one of the best destinations to visit in Crete, it’s located in Kissamoss, near Chania Airport, Crete (40 min driving) .
Kissamoss port provides a ferry cruise ticket package which starts at 10:30 am bringing you to this beautiful and transparent lagoon for 2 hours visit, after brings you to another two hours to Gramvousa beach, where you can see a Castle and also the Dimitros old wreck ship, and bring you back to Kissamoss port around 5pm.
I think it’s one of the best destination for a day tour in Crete, and Kissamoss will also offer many choices of traditional Greek restaurants for dinner after the tour.
The beaches are very clean and rich of life!
Getting There - Ferry from Kissamoss 10:30 am only
Attractions - lagoon, beaches, landscape and sea
Beautiful beach in Crete! Gramvousa
Gramvousa beach is very clean, beautiful and full of fishes and special rocks, it’s an unpopulated spot only reachable by boat ferry at 10:30 at from Kissamoss port in Crete, in 40 min driving from Chania.
I highly recommend to pass by , because kissamoss offer a ticket ferry which includes not only Gramvousa beach , but also Balon lagoon, those are top best destinations to go in Crete !
Getting There - From Chania airport in Crete you can choose some hotels near the beautiful old town, from there you can choose to go by excursions with the many travel agencies on the road , or choose to rent a car (much cheaper) and drive by yourself (40 min). Do not forget the ferry is 10:30 am
Attractions - beach, beautiful landscape and cultural buildings and the Dimitrios Ship Wreck
Food & Restaurants - food is very limited, there is a canteen/bar in the ferry which will park the whole day to the beach, or only a small bar near the beach.
Feel like a goddess in Aphrodite beach

Small rocky beach not far from Paphos airport
If you like snorkelling the amount of different species of fish there was breathtaking. Water was nice and clear and not cold for October. Would not recommend to any people with a disability or very old as there are a lot of steps to get to the beach and on the way back up was a killer in the heat . Only one restaurant close that was up the top of the steps but a stunning view looking down on to the beach.
I would also take sea shoes with you as there was a lots of rocks on the beach as well as in the sea .
This is where Aphrodite - The Goddess of Love appeared from the sea and it is a picturesque and well visited place with a small store with icecream etc and you actually walk through a tunnel under the road to get there. I’ve been told that It is considered very fortune to swim around the rock 3 time but… look at the last picture! The sea stepped out so far and now you could only run around the rock
Falassarna beach Crete 🏖️
#beachvacation
Falassarna Beach in Crete, Greece, is an absolute gem that stole my heart. Nestled on the island's western coast, this beach is a stunning combination of natural beauty and tranquility.
As I approached the shore, I was greeted by the soft, golden sand and crystal-clear, azure waters. The beach's wide expanse allows for plenty of space to relax without feeling crowded.
What truly sets Falassarna apart is its breathtaking sunsets. Watching the sun dip below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, was a surreal experience.
The beach's laid-back atmosphere and nearby beach bars make it an ideal spot to unwind. Falassarna Beach is a hidden paradise in Crete, and it's a must-visit destination for anyone seeking natural beauty and serenity in the Mediterranean. #ukcreator #greece #crete

Attractions Balos Lagoon Greece
breathtaking view😍❤️❣️
It is like a roller coaster trip before you arrive on this lovely view. You need to walk almost 7 km but it is like you do hiking due to Rocky road and a bit dangerous steps.
