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. ❤️🐐

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir würden jederzeit wieder die Jeep Safari dort buchen. 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

Begin with a scenic drive through magnificent nature from the north coast to the southwest, passing through small, picturesque mountain villages. Stop at the Monastery Chryssoskalitisa, one of the most impressive monasteries in Crete, known for its unique architecture, rich history, and breathtaking location near Elafonisi. Explore the small ecclesiastical museum, showcasing important religious artifacts.
Continue to the beach of Elafonissi, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Crete. Admire the crystal-clear waters, white and pink sand, and shells adorning its shores. The exotic character of the landscape, combined with the region’s unique natural beauty, offers an unforgettable experience. Wade through the shallow bridge of blue waters to the offshore island of Elafonissi. At its nearest point, it sits only 140 miles from the north coast of Africa, enhancing its tropical sun-kissed beach with soft coral sand and the deepest shades of white and pink.
After a morning of sea and sun, stop at a popular winery on the way back to your hotel. Taste delicious Cretan wine and reflect on your day of adventure.
