Balos Lagoon! .. Undoubtably Crete's most stunning view 🇬🇷✨

If you’ve ever seen photos of Balos Lagoon, you’ll understand why it’s one of the places people dream about visiting in Crete… 😍

Turquoise and deep-blue waters, bright white sand and that incredible lagoon stretching out beneath the mountains - it honestly doesn’t look real! 🏝️

📍Located in the northwest of Crete, Balos is worth the effort to reach.

You can visit by boat, arriving from the sea and seeing the lagoon from a completely different perspective 🚤, or make your way there by road and enjoy the spectacular views as you approach.

💡 Crete Unlocked Tips: Many car rental compaines will not allow you to drive there due to the condition of the road. Also If you’re visiting in the warmer months, go early if you can - Balos can get very busy, and the experience is completely different when you have a little more space to enjoy the landscape.
And don't forget your camera… because you’ll probably want to photograph every single angle! 📸

Looking for somewhere a little quieter and away from the big organised beaches? Then put Spilies Beach on your list! 🏖️

Tucked away on Crete’s north coast, just east of Rethymno, this small pebble cove is surrounded by dramatic rocky cliffs and natural sea caves (which is where the name Spilies comes from).. 🌊⛰️

Its a gorgeous spot for swimming, exploring and simply enjoying the scenery. 🤿☀️

And you don’t have to worry about packing a whole picnic either! There’s a little taverna/beach bar where you can grab something cold to drink, a coffee or a light meal while enjoying the view 😍

📍 *Spilies Beach, Crete*
❤️ Save this for your next Crete adventure and tag someone you’d love to take here!

Agia Galini! .. One of South Crete’s Little Gems 😌

Tucked into the south coast of Crete, Agia Galini is one of those places that seems to have a little bit of everything - a charming harbour, colourful houses climbing up the hillside, beautiful sea views and that relaxed Cretan atmosphere we all love. 💙

Wander through the narrow streets, browse the little shops and cafés, then make your way down to the picturesque harbour where fishing boats bob on the water ⛵️
There are also plenty of traditional tavernas where you can sit overlooking the sea and enjoy fresh fish and local Cretan dishes 🤤
And if you’re looking for a beach day, Agia Galini Beach is right on your doorstep 🏖️

📍 Falassarna, Chania – Western Crete

There’s a reason Falassarna is one of the most talked about beaches in Crete…

With it's huge stretch of golden sand, clear water and dramatic mountain backdrop, it’s one of the most spectacular beaches in western Crete. 🌊

And there’s more to Falassarna than just the main beach 👇

🏖️ Big Falassarna - the main stretch, with plenty of space to swim, sunbathe and relax.
🌊 Smaller coves - explore the surrounding coastline and find quieter spots away from the busiest areas.
🍹 Beach bars & restaurants - perfect if you want to spend the whole day by the sea without having to pack everything.
🌅 Sunset - stay until the evening… Falassarna is *famous* for its incredible sunsets over the Cretan Sea! 🌅

💡 Our tip: Arrive earlier in the day if you want to enjoy the beach when it's calmer, then stay for sunset if you can. It’s one of those places that looks completely different as the light changes.

If its not already on your Crete bucklet list, it should be! 📝

Voulisma Beach! One of Crete's most beautiful beaches 😍

If you’re exploring the Agios Nikolaos & Mirabello Bay area, make sure Voulisma Beach is top of your list! 🏖️

There’s something for everyone, whether you're travelling with kids, looking for a relaxed swim, want a few cocktails with a view, or prefer a quieter connection with nature, Voulisma offers a little bit of everything. 💙

Makry Gialos - one of Crete’s little gems 🇬🇷

Down on the southeast coast of Crete, Makry Gialos has that lovely laid-back feeling where you can spend the day by the sea, wander around the harbour and finish with dinner overlooking the water 💙

The beach is long, sandy and beautifully calm, and when you’ve had enough sun, there are plenty of little tavernas and cafés around the waterfront where you can settle in for a slow Greek lunch or an evening drink. 🍷🐟

It’s a little further from the main tourist areas, which is exactly why we love it! Less rush, good food and that authentic Cretan atmosphere☀️

Would you put Makry Gialos on your Crete itinerary, or have you already discovered this part of the island? 👇
