WHY WE LOVE IT

Take the best pictures of Balos lagoon following a local insider and enjoy an incredible swim at Falassarna beach - the best beach day in Chania (and an Instagram-worthy excursion of the area!)

Activity Description

Follow a local insider on a road trip to the West side of Crete, towards the peninsula of Gramvousa. Driving in a 4x4 jeep along the coastal dirt road you will reach the starting point of a short 15 min trek that will lead you to the breathtaking view point towards the Balos lagoon. The next destination is the famous Falassarna beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Crete with its wonderful fine white sand and warm, crystal-clear water. There, you will unwind and will have plenty of time to enjoy the beach on the sand or in one of the café-bars on the beach (a great spot also to get a snack and drinks!)
