 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abbiamo fatto una bella escursione da Kissamos alla laguna di Balos con il trasferimento fatto da Vasillis e la sua famiglia con jeep 4x4. Vasillis è stato davvero molto simpatico e disponibile e ci ha raccontato un sacco di cose sull'area. La gita dura 6 ore dalla partenza al rientro, di cui effettive in laguna, incluso il tratto da fare a piedi, di circa 3 ore e mezzo. Balos è fantastica, davvero unica ed irrinunciabile. La giornata era molto ventosa altrimenti saremmo stati volentieri più a lungo. Del resto non viaggiavano i barconi che ci hanno permesso di viverla senza calca. La strada sarebbe percorribile abbastanza bene anche da macchine a noleggio ma ATTENZIONE, QUASI SEMPRE OFF ROAD È ESCLUSO DAL CONTRATTO E PARE CHE TUTTE LE MACCHINE SIANO DITATE DI UN GPS CHE INFORMA AUTOMATICAMENTE LA COMPAGNIA CON PENALI SALATE. Consigliatissimo

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went to Balos today with my girlfriend and had a great experience with Vasilis. He was friendly, professional and told us some interesting stories about Crete along the way. The 4x4 was clean, comfortable and air-conditioned, and he drove very well on the rough road. He even stopped to pick some fresh thyme for us and, since we’re Italian, he put on some Marco Mengoni songs, which was a really nice touch. Balos is amazing, and seeing it from above is absolutely worth it. I’d definitely recommend going by 4x4 with Vasilis!
