8Balos Lagoon, Crete, Greece

Crete’s Balos Lagoon is a striking blend of aquamarine and emerald waters framed by pink-tinged sand. Known for its shallow, crystal-clear sea, Balos is a dream for wading and swimming.

The clarity is so intense that it feels like floating in liquid glass. In the off season, when the crowds vanish, this lagoon becomes an otherworldly paradise of stillness and beauty.
