Balos Lagoon Tours

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.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (246 reviews)
The rooms and property exceeded my expectations. Well maintained and beautifully appointed. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. The property is on the hillside giving gorgeous views. I was nervous about dragging my suitcase up the hill but I was met in the parking area and everything was taken care of for me proactively. They have a lovely bar/restaurant area with a good selection of food and wine. You can't go wrong booking this wonderful property.

8.8/10 Excellent! (115 reviews)
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.
