We had an unforgettable experience on this small-group tour to Balos Lagoon and Falassarna Beach! Since it was the end of the season, it turned out to be a private tour, which made it even more special. Our guide, Nassos, picked us up directly from our Airbnb and was fantastic throughout the day, sharing fascinating stories about Crete’s history, local traditions, and personal anecdotes that added a unique touch to the experience.
The journey began with a stop at a stunning viewpoint overlooking Balos, where we could take in the breathtaking views and capture some beautiful photos. We then spent a relaxing three hours at Falassarna Beach on a private sunbed with a canopy, perfect for unwinding - and also protected from the actual wind. Nassos ensured we were comfortable and was always available for our questions, making us feel welcome and well taken care of.
The day concluded with a delicious Cretan lunch at a restaurant right on the beach. We had a private table close to the water, which made the meal even more enjoyable. This tour is perfect for anyone looking to skip the usual stress of navigating Crete independently and fully immerse themselves in the local culture and scenery. Highly recommended!
