It is a perfectly dreamy stretch of coast that makes for a perfect location for both romantic strolls or family days out. Photographed more than any other beach in Crete and famous for its turquoise waters and exotic surroundings, it can be a very busy spot and the water pools on the beach can be a little fragrant. However, in spot of this, the beach lives up to its reputation as one of the most beautiful in Crete and is truly a must for anyone holidaying in the area. Just find a vacation rental in Crete and spend a day splashing around in the warm waters, taking in the incredible views and enjoying the fresh air of Balos.

The most famous beach on the island, by far, it has to be one of the most memorable and picturesque beaches in all of Greece, as well. With azure waters that lap the white sands made up of fine pebbles of the beach and the foot of impossibly high cliffs, it paints quite the lovely picture. Just find a vacation rental in the Ionian Islands and come explore this photogenic beauty for yourself.
