About this excursion
The experience begins with a private pickup from your accommodation and a drive to the most famous and widely photographed spot in Crete, the Balos Viewpoint.
Access is by Jeep, and entrance fees are already covered. From this point, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Balos lagoon without waiting, hassle from boats, or crowds.
After an easy 10-minute walk, you will admire the stunning views of Balos, the Wild Gramvousa, and the colorful waters surrounding the lagoon — perfect for memorable photos.
Following a short 15–20 minute break at the Balos Viewpoint, we will head to Falassarna beach.
Falassarna, one of Europe’s top five beaches, offers you three hours of free time to swim in crystal-clear waters and relax on its sandy shore.
At the end of your time in Falassarna, the private Jeep will be waiting to take you back to your accommodation, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free transfer.
