The premise of getting lost in Crete is simple. We will get you ‘lost’ in one of the world’s most spectacular and awe-inspiring seascapes.

Wild but with a soft heart. Hosting a palate of ever-changing blues. Perfectly mixing fossilized pink shells with soft white sands. And teeming with extraordinary wildlife. Balos Laguna is an unforgettable must.

The ultimate experience is to discover this Great Cretan Seascape on your own relaxation rhythm without being bonded to ferryboats. Let us take you along the off-road route of Gramvousa Peninsula. When the road ends, prepare to hike down to the mountainside until you reach the paradise of Balos Lagoon.

Now imagine yourself basking in the warm waters of heaven on earth. Not to mention how much your Instagram feed will be thanking you. This is your Balos escape. Dreamed by you, planned by us.

Itinerary
1
Heraklion Prefecture An exclusive luxury Safari to Balos Lagoon with fully customizable chronological order and comfort since you don't have to schedule your entire day according to the ferry departure and return times to the port of Kissamos.

Duration:  3 hours

2
Balos Lagoon Enjoy a personal pick up and drop off by your local insider guide and follow bespoke itineraries to the Western Crete. You will drive along the Northern coastal desert road to Balos to a specific spot where you will have to park the vehicle. From there you will have to short-hike about 20 to 40 minutes. On your way down to the mountainside, when finally Balos lagoon will be visible, you will have to assume that it requires an act of pilgrimage, as it is perfectly fitting for such a fine place! Enjoy your moments on the white sandy beaches of Balos which is an endless palette - it's so hard to describe the infinite beauty of this place! There are sides to choose from, ones with cool deep turquoise water and others with shallow warm water.

Duration:  3 hours
