    Description

    Balos is a spectacular coastal lagoon on the Gramvousa Peninsula, in northwestern Crete (Chania region). Its pale coral-white and pink sand, shallow turquoise waters, and wild surrounding landscape make it one of Crete’s iconic natural beaches. The lagoon is separated by sandy bars and islets, giving a dreamy, otherworldly feel.
