As you drive along the rugged road en route to Balos, be sure to keep your camera ready to capture the sight of countless goats and sheep dotting the landscape. With stunning views at every turn, you'll have plenty of opportunities to snap some amazing shots.
After a brisk 10-minute walk, you'll be at the Balos View Point. It's recommended that you wear sports shoes or sandals to make the hike easy and safe. From the top of the mountain, you'll be greeted with an awe-inspiring view of the natural beauty surrounding you. Crystal-clear water glistens on the west side, while on the east side, you'll spot goats and sheep grazing on the mountainside. It's a truly unique and picturesque scene that you won't want to miss.

Coffee, bottled water, or soft drinks are included in the price during your time at the beach. When hunger strikes, you'll head to a local restaurant just behind the beach for a delicious lunch. With local tastes, wine, and beer, you'll get to indulge in the authentic flavors of Crete.
