6Balos Lagoon
Located on the Gramvousa Peninsula in northwestern Crete, Balos Lagoon is a breathtaking natural wonder. Its shallow waters create a stunning palette of blues and greens, and the white sand is soft underfoot. Accessible by boat or a hike from the nearby parking area, Balos offers a sense of adventure for those who make the journey.
Visitors will find a mix of pristine nature and history, with the nearby Venetian fortress on Gramvousa Island adding a touch of intrigue. The best time to visit is early in the day to experience the lagoon before the arrival of excursion boats.
