Balos lagoon

Gramvousa peninsula, Kissamos

Good to know

Crete's postcard: a shallow lagoon between the Gramvousa peninsula and the islet of Tigani, shading from white to deep blue. It is a protected Natura 2000 area.

You can get there by boat from Kissamos or by car on a dirt road, followed by a 30-minute walk down.
