On the territory of the island of Crete there is a unique and incredibly beautiful bay of Balos, which has been attracting tourists from all over the world for many decades.

Balos Bay is mainly formed by the adjoining Tigani Peninsula, which also forms a good sandbank in the area. On most beaches, the water depth is never more than seventy or eighty centimeters, as a result of which the sea warms up to very high temperatures. Also, thanks to the rich underwater world, the water here plays with all colors. Often young artists create their masterpieces on the coasts of this picturesque harbor, trying to convey the wholethe beauty and color of these unique waters.
Balos Bay is surrounded by wide and spacious beaches covered with white sands. In some places, the sand even acquires a slightly pinkish tint, which gives a special magic and originality to this resort. It is also worth noting that the overwhelming majority of the beaches in the harbor are not equipped with modern sun loungers, awnings, as well as various restaurants, discos and other entertainment complexes. You can rent a sunbed at your hotel, although there is no particular need for this, because there is nothing more beautiful than basking on the snow-white southern sand.
