Balos Beach Crete Greece T-Shirts

Balos Beach is spectacular; it resides on a peninsular on the very northwest corner of Crete. I had spotted the beach on Google Maps and was determined to go there on an upcoming visit to the island. It's not the most accessible place. You have to drive a very rough road along the peninsular and then walk down about 500 feet on a very steep rocky trail. But it was worth it. This panoramic image was captured about halfway down to the beach and takes in about 180 degrees of the view.

Camera: Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III Balos beach (or lagoon, if you prefer), one or my favorite places in "my" island, Crete, Greece. *HOW TO GET THERE* Two ways you can go there: You can drive until Kasteli (Kissamos) and then take a boat and go all the way around the cape. This way you can also visit the tiny island on the left part of the picture, where you can visit a Venetian Castle and a shipwreck. The other way is to drive until the next village (Kalyviani) after Kasteli and there ask which way to Balos. You take a dificult dirt road and after 8 km you reach the end of the road. You leave your car or bike there and take a rocky path of about 2km. Suddenly you 'll come up with the beautiful view. If you are planning to camp there y...

The unbelievable beauty of Balos Lagoon with Cap Tigani in Crete, Greece

One of the many beautiful beaches in a small uninhabited island south of Crete (Greece), in the Libyan sea, called Koufonissi. Koufonissi is located around 20 miles to the the southeast of my hometown, Ierapetra. I can assure you there you will find some of the most beautiful beaches you have ever seen (and not "packed" even in the heart of August). There is a boat going, now and then, to Koufonissi, departing from the village of Makrigialos, 25 km east of Ierapetra. I went on a tour around the island with the boat of a friend, Mathios Petroulakis from Goudouras (a village in the south coast of Crete, about 3 miles from Koufonissi) and I swimmed in 4 of its beaches (there are around 20) always thinking that the last one was the b...

The caves in Matala (one of the most famous sites in Crete) were used as "homes" from the Neolithic Era, then they were used as a cemetery during the Roman Era and reached the peak of their "glory" during the 60's and 70's when the "Flower Power" generation converted the small fishing village to one of the "capitals" of their movement. Many of the flower children, the hippies, keep returning with their families and show to their sons and daughters the place where they spent their "wild" years, when the dream of a better world did not seem like a utopia.
