Beautiful beaches. Spent most of our time at Balos. Wonderful views and amazing look at nature in Crete! So many goats/sheep! Amazing walk/trek to the lagoon. Definitely wear tennis shoes/Tevas/Chaco/etc… (no flip flops)! Be prepared for the hike back! Water was cold but here in late Apri! Excellent lunch at Gramboussa! Amazing Cretan food! Falasarna Beach was also beautiful with cold water but amazing waves! All in all a great experience!

We had an unforgettable experience with Sakis. He was early to pick us up and kept us safe and comfortable the entire day. He even bought us some greek chocolate! He gave us time to explore Balos Lagoon (pls wear comfortable shoes, it can be challenging going down & up) and Falassarna beach on our own. He also took us to a church in a cave. Sakis was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed hearing his stories about Crete. It was a very special experience. Highly recommend this experience even during the off season!
Pleasant day out to Balos and Falassarna

Pleasant way to make this trip by car and get personal tips and advice. The driver drove very calmly and safely along the winding roads. Nice arrangement where we got to influence the choice of lunch restaurant ourselves.
Very special place-fantastic experience

So glad we did this! While it is a quite the drive and the road into the lagoon is no joke our driver was very careful as well as pleasant. The view from the top is spectacular and the colors of the water amazing. The hike in and out is not easy but doable even if you are not in great shape. This was an amazing experience and I recommend doing it if you can!
