Gramvousa – Balos

The lagoon of Balos is an area of outstanding natural beauty with shallow turquoise waters and white, and in some places, even pink sand. It was created when Crete lifted in the west by approximately 9 metres and tipped down in the east thousands of years ago. Reached by a daily boat trip from the port of Kissamos the journey there also includes a visit to the island of Gramvousa. Alternatively you can drive on an unmade road from the village of Kaliviani and walk the last 30 minutes down to the beach on a path.

Falasarna

Falasarna – Together with Elafonissi, Falassarna is probably the most famous beach in Crete and indeed Greece. Well deserved of its fame due to the vast expanse of fine sand and crystal clear open sea. It is 15km from Kissamos and lies on the far west coast of Crete. It has various different beaches all with fine sand and some with rocks, and there are facilities, cafes and tavernas. In recent years Falassarna has also hosted an annual beach party on the first Saturday in August which has become famous throughout Greece and Europe.
