La signora dell’agenzia molto disponibile e professionale.Ci ha accompagnato Ilias, simpatico, competente oltre che ottimo autista. Ci ha descritto il  paesaggio trasmettendoci l’amore per la propria terra. Escursione di 6 amici friulani.  Assolutamente consigliato.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incroyable. Très clairement la meilleure façon de découvrir balos, surtout tôt le matin ou tard le soir. Choississez Panteli, le meilleur guide (on a pas testé les autres mais ça peut difficilement être mieux). Un très bon moment passé avec lui, rires, anecdotes, et supers conseils

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience! This is indeed the best way to get to the Balos lagoon. You drive over a picturesque road, and then get to an uncrowded part of the beach, enjoying the marvelous view of the lagoon from the top. We saw from the distance the crowds disembarking the boat and were so happy that we are not among them. We took a 9:00 trip, so it was a little hard to go back in the heat of 13:30, but definitely doable and worth the effort; the height difference is about 150 m. By the way, the road itself is not that bad, but full of sharp rocks, which can damage the tire of a regular car

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Les doy 5 estrellas porque no se pueden dar más. ⭐️ Una experiencia única e increíble.

Todos los empleados fueron majísimos, atentos y súper amables en todo momento. Incluso tuvieron el detalle de darnos galletas y agua fría tanto a la ida como a la vuelta, algo que se agradece muchísimo.

Mi pareja y yo decidimos optar por este servicio para llegar hasta Balos porque no sabíamos con certeza si nuestro coche de alquiler podría llegar. Además, muchas compañías de alquiler prohíben acceder a Balos con sus vehículos e incluso pueden llegar a imponer multas.

Sin duda, creemos que fue la mejor opción. No solo te evitas preocupaciones y posibles problemas con el coche, sino que además conviertes el trayecto en parte de la experiencia. Es entretenido, diferente y puedes disfrutar del recorrido tranquilamente, sin preocuparte por nada.

¡Una experiencia totalmente recomendable! Si volviera a Balos, repetiría sin ninguna duda. ❤️🐐

Die ganze Betreiberfamilie ist super freundlich, herzlich und hilfsbereit. Wir wurden sehr freundlich und kompetent beraten ohne aufdringliches verkaufen und hatten eine fantastische Zeit in Balos.

Full Description

Depart from the picturesque town of Kissamos in a comfortable, air-conditioned 4×4 vehicle with an experienced driver, and prepare for an unforgettable journey through the wild, unspoiled beauty of western Crete.

Forget the hassle of dirt roads or the risk of damaging your rental car – we’ve taken care of everything so you can relax and enjoy the ride.

Cross the rugged landscape of the Gramvousa Peninsula, with its rocky hills, Mediterranean vegetation, and stunning sea views. With safe 4×4 vehicles and skilled drivers, you’ll travel comfortably to the viewpoint above the world-famous Balos Lagoon, where the footpath normally begins.

However, our recommended itinerary is designed to offer a more relaxed and stress-free experience – without the hike. Instead of walking down to the beach, we suggest admiring the spectacular panoramic view of Balos from above, a spot that many consider even more breathtaking than the beach itself.

After taking in the incredible view, we continue to Falassarna Beach – one of the most beautiful, fully organized beaches in Crete, highly recommended by locals. Here, you’ll have up to 4 hours of free time to swim, sunbathe, and unwind at your own pace.

This excursion is not recommended for people with heart conditions or pregnant women.

Panoramic views of Falassarna Beach from above, perfect for photos.
