Head to Balos beach with the option to purchase traditional Cretan food, Greek dishes, pizza, or toasted sandwiches on board. Quench your thirst with the option to buy wine, beer, water, coffee and soft drinks on board at the self-service bar.
Arrive at Balos beach where you are greeted by soft, white sands and a mesmerizingly-blue lagoon that is surrounded by tall, rocky mountains. Spend free time soaking up the sun, plunging into crystal-clear waters, and soaking up breathtaking views before returning to your boat.
