Northwest of Chania, 56 km west of the city and 17 km from Kissamos you will find Balos lagoon between the Cape and Gramvousas Cape Tigani.
Famous around the world for its wild natural beauty and an exotic landscape which has been endlessly photographed.

During the summer months Balos is flooded daily by thousands of tourists arriving mostly by boat from Kissamos who walk through the Kalyviani along the Cape of Gramvousa. The second option is the best as it gives you the opportunity to enjoy the panoramic view over Balos which is exquisitely unique.

Situated in the southwestern tip of Crete, 75 km from the city, is Elafonisi, an area of outstanding natural beauty which is protected by the network Natura 2000. What stands out at Elafonisi are its turquoise waters and pink sand which got its color from the countless shells crushed here over the centuries.

On the way you to Elafonissi you will come across the monastery Chryssoskalitissa, built up on a big rock. It is well worth a visit and to seek the golden stair according to tradition which only true believers can distinguish.

Every summer Elafonisi receives thousands of visitors every day. If you want to fully enjoy the beauty of Elafonissi it is best to go at the end of June or at the end of August. The surrounding area offers accommodation and taverns.
