5.00Our guide Antonis was excellent. Picked us up on time and a comfortable jeep. Shared the trip with 2 others, a lovely couple from Florida. Our first stop was to the Balos viewpoint. Breathtaking… but a short walk of 10 mins or so and you’ll need suitable shoes (no sandals!). For the walk Antonis got us some bananas and was fun to feed the goats our banana peel! The we drove to Falassarna Beach. Our reserved spot under cover was really close to the sea. We were lucky as it wasn’t too windy that day and the beach and the water was beautiful. After 3 hours chilling, relaxing on the beach and swimming it was time for a nice lunch. An excellent glass of wine included. Then it was time to return to Chania. All in all a lovely day, really well organized and we were lucky to have a really well informed and very friendly guide.
Wonderful
