Close to the sea yet protected from its might, Balos Lagoon is an ideal place to sit in contemplation and get some artistic photos of the scenery.

A trip to this area of shallow water won't cost a thing, which is fantastic news if you're on a budget. You'll find Balos Lagoon in Chania. There are plenty more attractions to visit in the area, including Balos Beach, Falassarna Beach and Phalasarna.

We have visiting many hotels and although they were impressive, this hotel left me wanting more. The service everywhere was amazing. Everything was spotless and everywhere you looked the surroundings made you smile! We can’t wait to come back❤️

The owners, Matthew and Kim, are incredibly sweet and welcoming, and they’ve created a truly beautiful hotel. My children absolutely loved it here. The property features two pools and is set in a quiet, picturesque location that’s perfect for relaxing. The accommodations were wonderful—spacious rooms, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic and clearly prepared with care. The nearby restaurant options were excellent, offering great variety within easy walking distance. Two beautiful beaches are just a short drive away—both small, peaceful, and never too crowded—which made our days by the sea even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a beautiful experience from start to finish. I loved every moment of my stay and would highly recommend Paradice Luxury Hotel to anyone visiting Crete.

Bring sturdy footwear for the trek down. Especially if it has rained, it will be muddy and slippery.
