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.

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.
