Get a dose of vitamin D at Balos Beach. After you've topped up your tan, hang around and watch the sky dance with different colors with the setting sun.

Balos Beach is an interesting place to begin discovering Chania. This stretch of coastline comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Allow some time for other attractions like Balos Lagoon, Phalasarna, and Imeri Gramvousa to really experience what's on offer in the area.

The hotel is beautiful, the food is excellent but what really made this place special is the guest relations team. They are all such wonderful ladies that made the stay so special and personal. A big thank you to Chrysa and Sofia.

One of a kind, excellent! This was our 4th visit over the last 7 years and the facilites, decor and food just keep getting better. The setting and interior is stunning, its luxury but also familt friendly so everyine wins. Go for the all inclusive option and you will genuinely be delighted with the variety of food options, drinks and restaurants. It's genuinely become our happy place and very hard to beat, its become the reason why we work! (We are 2 adults and 2 children under 7)

It’s wise to consider taking the Ferry because the hike back up isn’t very easy.

We didn't make it Balos Lagoon. Since drive was little dangerous if you are new to the road and it was raining and we saw bunch of land slide along the road. So we retracked on the way. But it was amazing view.
