Balos Beach, Greece
From series “Most Fabulous and Magic Beaches”
The favorite vacation spot among fans of beach activities in Greece is the island of Crete. Here, you can find the world-famous beach of Balos. This fabulous stretch of coast is characterized by unique landscapes. White sand with lots of multi-colored stones covers the beach. The color palette of the water is impressive too; it varies from bright blue to deep blue.
Those who like to relax at comfortable and well-equipped beaches have to consider that at Balos the infrastructure is almost non-existent. This place is attractive for its natural pristine beauty. A few cafes are open here at the high season, while services typical for many crowded beaches are completely absent. The Greek island of Agria, which is a popular tourist attraction, is perfectly visible from the coast.
