Beautiful Balos! - 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!

Wonderful tour of Balos and nearby - Absolutely wonderful tour. Our guide Sakis was amazing. He went above and beyond, taking us to an amazing resturant for lunch and making an extra stop to show us some historical places.

Awesome & Unforgettable 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!

Experience with Sakis - Sakis turned our tour into an unforgettable adventure. More than a guide, he was a friend, sharing Crete’s secrets while ensuring we were comfortable and well-fed. Balos Beach was breathtaking, Falassarna was pure paradise, and the hidden cave felt like stepping into a legend. The lunch? Simply incredible. If you want more than just a tour—if you want an experience—this is it!

A perfect day of relaxation outside of Chania - From the moment we were picked up from our apartment, we knew we were in for a fantastic day. Our driver, Leonidas, was not only friendly and welcoming but also full of fascinating stories about Crete’s history and culture, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations. Our first stop at Balos left us speechless with its breathtaking views, while Falasarna Beach was pure paradise—golden sands, crystal-clear waters, and the perfect spot to relax. If you’re looking for a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation, this tour is an absolute must—highly recommended!
