One of the most beautiful places I ever visited! So many shades of blue, the water is clean and there are even a few patches of pink sand. If you rent an umbrella, just make sure you close it before going in for a swim, since the wind is pretty strong in the lagune.

The road to the beach is quite long, if you have a rental car the policy does not allows you to go on this route. We rented an ATV from the city next to it and it took about 25 minutes to the parking lot. But then you have to walk for about 20-30 minutes to get down to the beach. The water wasn’t so turquoise blue like in the pictures and definitely I couldn’t say it’s the most beautiful beach in Greece. Probably, going by boat would’ve been a better option.

Although we intended to take the ferry to get here, we didn't make it as it was fully booked and we were told that only one trip is made per day. So, we ended up taking the road trip but I think that's the best thing to happen to us. The road was difficult but it was definitely worth it, we stopped a couple of times to buy sandwiches and drinks that were local to the area. when we reached I thought we may not be able to get the parking as it was mentioned many times but when we got there, the locals charged us €2 to enter per person and parking facilities were good as the locals were managing it. From there we started a little hike down to the beach, the view was amazing. Took lots of pictures along the way. I couldn't get enough of it, simply beautiful. There weren't many people on the beach and it was peaceful. After spending an hour there we saw the ferry arriving at the beach, so many people got down at the same time and that was our cue to depart from the beach. All and all, it was a thing to remember. This is definitely a must to see the beach. Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful place to view from up top. Other than that it's interesting having all these people running, laying, sitting in the pond/swamp-like water, but not more than that. The closed off lagoon's water is dirty because of everyone going in. The shallow isn't good for swimming. The swimmable part of the beach is overwhelmed and has slippery pebbles till you get to somewhere you can enter the water. So yes - beautiful beach, not a good beach. Please keep clean and have in mind there are a lot of people there.

This is still one of the most impressive views after 5 years! It is quite challenging to get there following a narrow dirt road but so so worth it! Oh, even after reaching there by car, you need to walk like 2-30 min, it was quite tough because of the sun, but the hiking itself is doable with flipflops.

It's obviously stunning and a must see. The road there is 10km of bumpy and slow off-road and the place is a bit too touristy for my liking with a lot of sunbeds and umbrellas giving it a slight hotel resort feel. Wander off a bit to the other side and walk a loop around the lake over the rocks to get a more secluded feel

Love the beach so much! It has the blue color that i was always wanting to experience, water so clear and shallow so u are not scared of not being able to swim! Took a walk on the top and u can also see the panorama view! Juat that the ferry left so quick and u had no much time to explore! Wish the tour could last longer!

It was a very nice beach with a natural scenery view, but then walking down and up the mountain can be stressful. Make sure you wear very comfortable shoes (trainers) and make sure you are very fit or you could take a boat there instead. Driving there is not bad but dusty. In general you should visit beach, it’s a must see

Is it worth the drive trough the worst road ever, the hike down (20 mins) and back up (30-40 mins)? Absolutely yes! It hurt but that’s how you form precious core memories. Parking lot is too small so we found a 1km of cars parked alongside the last part of the road, so add this to the hike, you’re gonna park faaar away. Any how, it’s awesome and they have goats!

The beach is beautiful. There is a small part of water separated from the main see and which is very shallow, very good for kids. The entrance to the territory costs 1 euro per person and the parking costs another 3 euro. Then you have to take a small hike (~20 mins) and you will be there. The hike is very easy. The beach gets crowded towards 11:00. There are no big waves and swimming there is very joyful

This godly, otherworldly beach is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been in. Sapphire, crystal clear water with a lot of space to swim, agreeable temperature and the two rising mounts that are surrounding the place. You can easily get to the top of the hill, a bit rocky and it doesn't have a path but you have the checkpoints that will guide you there and you'll have a gorgeous view from the beach, the islands nearby and the mount. I arrived at the morning and I was able to enjoy a lot. It gets busy in the afternoon with all the tourists coming in from the boat but well, what can you do. Unfortunately I found plenty of plastic scattered around the hill and had to myself clean a little bit, so please watch out for anything that you will throw away. Getting there was easy by car, very comprehensive roads and a parking lot. We had to pay to enter and I think also for the parking but it's not much and it is worth it, of course. Specially if the money goes for conservating this paradise. The chairs under the parasols are paid and it was 20 euros.

Loved it! The toilet was broken or closed however when we where there during Easter week, and the time that took us to get there was really underestimated by oneself. Also not the easiest path to take, but worth it. I burned 1000 calories durjng this trip.

Suuuuch a beautiful place! Took a boat trip there. Waters are shallow for a large part but you can reach a swimable distance that is safe, warm yet refreshing waters. Bed and umbrellas free for anyone to use. You can drive there but be sure you’ll have to climb down a very big mountain for approx 20 min!

Beautiful beach and the lagoon is just amazing. Shallow and warm water with no waves. The only downside is the 9km dirt road and the 2.5km of walking down the cliff to the beach from the carpark. To be honest, it was even more difficult yo get back to the top.

Not worth the hassle in my eyes. 30 min drive on a very bad road, another 30 min walk to the beach which gets very crowded with people who arrive by boat. Places to actually swim are few and far between as the waters are quite shallow here. €1/person for entry, €3 for parking, and €20 for a beach set. Probably best to be the first or last to arrive in the day. The goats are cool though :)

Balos Beach is a true natural gem that left us in awe during our visit. The twenty minutes hike down to the beach, which included navigating through gravel, stones, and rocks, was an adventure in itself. We even had a delightful stop at the viewpoint, where we were treated to breathtaking scenery and encountered some curious goats along the way. Trust me, sturdy footwear is an absolute must for this trek. But once you arrive at the beach, it's like stepping onto another planet. The white sand is simply mesmerizing, contrasting beautifully with the clear blue waters of the sea. The picturesque setting makes it a fantastic spot for sunbathing, swimming, or simply soaking in the natural beauty. It's important to note that Balos Beach can get quite crowded around midday, as tour boats typically dock at twelve pm. If you prefer a quieter experience, consider arriving early in the morning or later in the afternoon. The only caveat is the hike back up, which is undoubtedly more challenging than the descent. However, the stunning beach and panoramic views make every step worthwhile. Balos Beach is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and beach lovers alike, just be prepared for that uphill journey!

Balos beach is a must see beach from the nearby hill. If visited by a boat, you have to climb the rocky path in order to see the entire beauty of it. This is the reason we picked the unpaved road. It takes about 10 km of it, not very pleasant to travel, however, it seems maintained and secure. You can see a lot of goats and sheep while driving as well as on the beach. Bring them snack or close your beach bags, so they don’t pick the threats themselves. The fee to enter the natural park is €1 per person (cash) for clean up and maintenance almost at the beginning of the dirt road. Then, parking costs €3 payable cash or by card in the coffee/sandwich shop at the parking lot. There is a person helping with the parking logistics in the morning as the parking can get really packed at lunch time. The journey down hill takes about 30 minutes and even more if you stop for pictures. You aren’t allowed to use your own umbrella, no need to carry it all the way down. If you get there early, there could be available beach chairs and umbrellas for €20 per set. It gets very busy after noon with the boats arriving. The bigger ones don’t turn their engines off while waiting for the tourists so it gets noisy, too. Apart from this and the too many small boats and water paddle boats, the nature is preserved, stunning views and colors.

This is a must go place. It is so breathtaking that no Words can describe its beauty. Awesome place, beach a nice canteen nearby and boats to rent in the area. You need to carry cash or you can literally not enter the natural reserve. Fee is 1 euro per person. Also, loads of hungry goats are there. It's phenomenal.

I took a ferry to come to this beach. We stayed 2-3 hours (we booked this through agency). I wish we got more time to spend here but in that amount of time spent here I absolutely loved it. The beach is nice and water is very warm (depends on what time of the year you go - we went in September). Walking to the beach it can be an awkward walk cause some of the stones can be really big so you have to take precautions. All in all I definitely recommend visiting this beach.

This was by far my favorite Crete beach simply because it is absolutely gorgeous. Having read the reviews we decided to go by car, because that would allow us a full day at the beach. The cruise companies only seem to spend a couple of hours here (which is a good thing in my opinion). Getting to Balos by car consists of driving along 11 kilometers of unpaved road, occasionally navigating turns and twists, there are sharp stones and except for a few places there is no railing on the sea side so I can see how some might find it uncomfortable driving there. But I thought that it is absolutely worth it. You pay 1 euro to enter the area and 3 euros for parking (which is also full of sharp stones). From the parking lot you have to go down to the beach, maybe a 20 minutes walk (on the way back it's uphill so maybe 30-40 minutes). The views of the beach from the path are breathtaking and there are many goats along the way. The beach has a toilet (1 euro) and a small shop selling sandwiches and drinks. You are not allowed to use your own umbrella so don't bother bringing any. There are a few umbrellas and beds available for rent, I don't remember how much we payed but it's in line with the other beaches of the island. Around lunch time the boats arrived and the beach became very crowded, but like I mentioned they only stay for an hour or two and then leave so in the afternoon it became less crowded again.

Driving to this beach is a bit difficult but not impossible. We need to drive almost 6 kms on a dirt road. From parking we need to walk about 45-60 mins for normal people or 20-30 mins for fit people. Walking is a bit difficult so please plan accordingly especially if you have a baby or elder people in your group. There is only one canteen at the beach, food and drink options are very limited. There is no shower as well. Beach is very beautiful and water is so clear. You can rent a boat there directly if you want. There is lot of sea weed at some parts of the beach but if you go inside the water there is nothing. All in all it’s an excellent beach in crete with some amazing views and awesome driving experience. We enjoyed our experience but hope to see some cable cars or so next time I visit here or at least they build some new roads.

Definitely a must see location, the rocky sides, the flora, the water there, it all makes this place very special. Sandy beaches, in some places you’ll find the same pink hues sand as in elafonissi beach. Highly recommend to visit. Tip: take proper water shoes with rubber sole and snorkeling mask with you, the water in some places might have quite sharp rocks but you’ll be rewarded with amazing fish and sea life

Located just below Elafonisi Beach, Kedrodasos is a hidden paradise in the region. This wonderful beach covered with juniper trees is completely isolated from the environment. There are no facilities or businesses. There is a path from Elafonisi to Kedrodasos that does not appear as a walking path on Google Maps. We reached the beach by walking in less than an hour via this road, which we learned by asking the people around. Kedrodasos, which we went to early in the morning, was quite calm and beautiful. While we were there, people started to come out of the tents set up in the juniper trees just behind the beach. Considering the people who came with their vehicles, it was obvious that the beach would be quite crowded in the following hours. After enjoying our morning, we went back the way we came. On the way back, it was also enjoyable to see mountain goats descending to the beach.

Very unique beach. clear water, plenty of shadows from the trees, snorkeling, not so many tourists. Stunning

Traveling from Chania it’s about 2 hours as you must drive at 30-40 kilometers per hour, through the mountains with a lot of turns! Take some moment to enjoy the mountains view 😊 Reaching the free parking area you leave your car and walk a path 10’ towards the beach 🏝️ The path is a bit difficult, but then you are on paradise 😍

In my opinion a very low key place visited by locals. It a great spot to relax and enjoy the waves crashing on the beach. It's also a great spot for camping. You just have to have great foot wear to hike up and down the trail.

A hidden gem. Amazing scenery. The walking path from the car parking to the beach is impressive. Good snorkelling for those interested. Well worth a visit beside the more famous Elafonissi.

A small corner of paradise, on the beach there are many trees ideal for a corner of shade. Unfortunately there are many campers and tents but generally there are not too many people like in the nearby Elafonissi. The road is paved up to a good point, it is recommended to leave the car at the beginning of the road thus avoiding ruining the car. Through a path you reach the beach in 5-8 minutes. Sea of a beautiful color and not too cold water

The beach itself is ok, fabulous water, crystal clear, unreal colors... BUT, to reach this beach you have to walk from a parking for a 15 minutes through a steep downhill. That road looks unsafe for a walk, it is slippery and damaged by the rain. And when you get enough strength and courage to walk this road anyway, you will see an unorganized beach, no umbrellas, no sunbeds, no nothing, just many hippies with their tents (probobly here since the spring began)... And when you decide to leave the beach, there begins the torture, the same road I'd described, but this time uphill... For me, this was the first and the last time to visit this beach, not worth it ....

Perfect and idyllic, like a postcard. Majestic – Grand and spectacular, with stunning views. Secluded – Hidden and remote, away from a lot of tourists.

This is a serene and peaceful utopia for me! the water is so clear, and the place is so hidden and peaceful. It requires a bit of hike down after parking. Its 100% worth going.

This is actually the best beach for me in Crete. Very peaceful place and most importantly a perfectly preserved piece of nature, where no building, restaurant or else is built. You have crystal clear and very blue waters. Perfect for snorkeling, a lot of different types of fish and sea creatures to see. The beach itself is amazing, it has some kind of pine trees coming out directly from the sand providing natural shade. Free of charge parking right above the beach. You just need to go down a rocky path to reach the beach.

Lovely forest, rocky shoreline, some sandy coves, and crystal clear water. And goats, back in the woods there are many cute goats.

One of the best beaches of Crete, far better than Elafonisi. It’s secluded, surrounded by beautiful trees and vegetation, the water has like 6 different shades of blue and you can actually see fishes swimming around the rocks. The sea is tranquil and fresh, the strips of sand are wide enough to host everybody and people here are respectful of nature and of others. There are no services whatsoever so go to the WC before coming and bring something to snack and drink. And from the parking lot is a way down a Little Rock path, so have comfortable shoes on. We stayed all afternoon and we loved it so much we are going again tomorrow morning.

Spectacular!! A beach with no services, all natural but bring yes or yes nautical shoes (it's all stones for walking and slippery) and goggles for swimming (it's amazing what you see under the water 😍 )

Probably the best beach in Crete! Natural, beautiful crystal clear water, warm sea, perfect entrance to the sea with a shallow beginning, sandy beach, not many people. It needs a small 10-minute hike down there from the parking, but worth it, better to wear something else than flip flops. There are no restaurants, pubs or umbrellas so be prepared to take everything you need. There are many campers among the trees but further to the other side it's much better.

Love this beach, there are both unclothed and clothed people, the trees provide shade and a place to rests and the sand groves are just very beautiful. Sure, there might be some trash here and there but that is our responsibility to pick up… the beach is rocky and the waves can get quite aggressive closer to the evening, so take that into consideration. A steep hike is required both ways, but it is an easy one, even our 2 year old managed just fine.

Secluded enough not to be too crowded. Crystal clear and warm water, flat and hard sea bottom, white sand with pink swirls here and there. Free parking. Nudist and gay friendly.

On my opinion this is the most beautiful beach on Crete. Soft send on the beach, shadows among the trees and crystal clear blue waters. It is quiet and a lot of couples visit it. Good for snorkeling. The parking is right above the beach and it takes 10 minutes to go down. It is not as crowded as Elafonisi, however, suitable shoes are mandatory for the rocky paths leading to it.

A magnificent beach! It takes about 10-15 minutes to go down from the parking lot, and then you will be part of a real paradise! The beach is wild, so make sure you have water, food and an umbrella. And if you don't want to be close to the water, you can choose the natural shade of a tree or maybe even a stone. The bottom is flat, the depth gradually increases. The sea is clean, clear, calm. Enjoy the cedar forest and this unique beach! 🙂😎

Beautiful sandy alternative to Elafonisi beach. Good for kids. No kiosk or loos just a beautiful beach. Without hordes of people

Beautiful beach with crystal clear and blue waters. The beach is covered with juniper trees so there's always some shade from the sun. The shore is rocky so it's a good place for snorkeling. There's free parking up the hill with an easy hike. It is an amazing place with way less turists than the Elafonsi beach next to it.

Incredibly beautiful beach! Perfect combination of crystal sea, sand dunes, juniper trees and aroma of thyme. No umbrellas, no sunbeds, no bars. Only nature. Keep in mind that the last few kilometers the road is non asphalt and you need to walk about 10 minutes down to the beach. The trail is steep and maybe not easy for some people, but it’s definitely worth it!

Nice exhibition, worth visiting if you are in town. Artifacts from Polyrinia, Falassarna and Kissamos including mosaic, vases, coins and more, dating from 5th century BC. 45 mins should be sufficient to visit the exhibition, I'm still a bit puzzled why pics are not allowed. 4€ entrance, 3€ reduced price (if I'm not mistaken).

Amazing place with lots of history of kissamos. Perfect to take small break and dive in history

Lovely little museum. Not as impressive as the larger ones on the island, but stunning mosaics and very quiet so plenty of time to see the artifacts. And always so fun to see locally found items.

A small cozy museum with amazing mosaics, a beautiful collection of coins and many other ancient objects from #Kissamos area. It's a good way to discover Kissamos and his histories.

Small but very interesting and well kept museum. I've never gotten to see mosaic floors like that before.

Small museum with multiple artefacts from the past. 4€ for entrance. Worth visiting if you’re nearby.

A small but insightful collection held in the museum, a real treat for curious people into the ancient civilisations. I was amazed by the displays as it was incredible to view the artefacts without having to stare through glass casings, alot of pieces were simply placed inside free to get up close and personal with.

Very interesting artefacts, especially if you want to visit the ruins at Phalasarna and Polyrrhenia of which the museum has many and further information about those sites. Some lovely mosaics displayed too.

Very small museum, but interesting mosaic upstairs

Cute and small museum but well maintained and friendly staff. So much history about this town definitely something you should do when visiting Kissamos

Excellent, small museum with enough to interest the non-specialist.

If you are in Kissamos I recommend this museum, but I would not drive there especially for it. It takes around 45 minutes to see/read everything and the price is 4€ pp or 2€ for seniors. Beautiful sculptures and mosaics, but overall the musem is pretty small. There is also a floor and elevator to it. I think combined with other museums it might be a good day spent. It is pretty clean and also there is a toilet inside.

It's a lovely beach ⛱️ with the sturdiest umbrellas I have ever seen. (belonging to the taverna Captain Fidias). The beach itself is only partially sandy, mostly pebbly. With a decent wind, there is a wonderful surf. Unfortunately, I don't like walking into the sea on big rocks, so I only dipped my toes.

Spectacular long beach with pebbles among the mountains, beautiful scenery! Almost empty, quite, very nice taverna options and good shade!

Pebble not sand. Quiet but not particularly attractive.

A nice quiet beach.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the good reviews are a deception... The area is away from tourism and you can easily reach the beach by car, the road is partly sandy and rubble, but passable. There are parking spaces, showers and restaurants available. Lying too. The beach is made of stones, we weren't in the water - the small river/stream that flows into the sea smells very disgusting and musty... since we didn't feel like taking any risks with my weak health, we skipped swimming. (Original) Leider sind die guten Bewertungen ein Trug... Die Gegend liegt abseits des Tourismus und die man erreicht den Beach ganz gut mit Auto, die Straße ist teils sandig und Schutt, aber befahrbar. Es sind Parkplätze, Dusche und Restaurants vorhanden. Liegen auch. Der Strand besteht aus Steinen, im Wasser waren wir nicht - der kleine Fluss/ Bach der ins Meer mundet riecht sehr abartig und muffig verdorben... da wir keine Lust hatten bei meinen schwachen Gesundheit Risiko einzugehen, haben wir das mit schwimmen sein gelassen.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach not very busy. Sucker Restaurants nearby (Original) Bella Spiaggia non molto frequentata. Ventosa Ristoranti vicino

(Translated by Google) The beach is not particularly beautiful compared to others in the area. But free umbrellas and sunbeds for those who eat. Excellent food at a good price. 35/40 euros for two. (Original) La spiaggia non è particolarmente bella rispetto ad altre della zona. Ma ombrelloni e lettini gratis per chi mangia. Cibo eccellente a un buon prezzo. 35/40 euro in due.

It's our third time in Crete and this is one of the best restaurants we've been to. The vibe is amazing, extremely romantic and relaxed - you sit below beautiful trees, hear the sound of the waves as well as their relaxed wedding-style music, the place was not too crowded. The service is amazing, you are welcomed right from the start and the waiters are responsive to you the entire stay, they even replaced our plates and took care that we will get exactly what we ordered, even with our modifications (my wife is pregnant). The food is amazing as well, very generous and varied plates, everything is fresh and tasty. We ordered a Greek Salad and Mixed Grills for 1 (replaced the Pork) and got excellent meat, accompanied with salad, Tzatziki and fried potato slices. We got water, uzo, fruit and treat on the house. We hope to have a chance to come again.

We went to the restaurant after a day trip . The place is beautiful, a restaurant by the sea. Food is delicious, tasty, and well presented. Staff are nice and friendly.

Amazing area, great terrace. Great staff, all really friendly. The food was great, starters (courgettes croquettes!!) and fishes. Everything homemade. To finish, they offer dessert with grapes and vanilla kind of yogourt, both amazing ! We would come back in the area just for that ! Thanks !

Really nice bar but the service needs a lot of improvement. Normal prices. Also the white wine was not good enough. The people there was also very nice. If you want a soda or a drink (except wine) is really ok.

The food is great - friendly and efficient service. Dessert is water melon and creme brûlée, which is a nice touch. Best of all though is how peaceful and quite it is - no traffic and tables right by the beach overlooking the bay. Gets busy so reservation is recommended.

2 stars for the beautiful view. Do not believe the reviews. Worst food of our trip. Garlic laden dips and a ‘mixed grill’ that included a burger, inedible lamb and chicken and a Greek sausage.

We visited the restaurant for dinner.we had a lovely view to the sea.We had suvlaki chicken,greek salad,tzatziki and garlic bread. We were very happy with the food and the service. The staff was very helpful.

Beautiful place and good location. Not expensive to eat here either!! Staff and owner are very friendly and the food is extremely good! We have dine here several times and loved every single time. We have dine on few restaurants and taverns, but Maria was the best one for us. Maria Beach Restaurant has also a lovely beach view. Highly recommended!

Excellent food with great view Wish I had gone here earlier, because the food here is amazing! We tried grilled calamari, grilled shrimps, pasta carbonara, and grilled sardines and they are all super tasty. The portion is not that big but we can enjoy more refined quality. Best one we tried so far in Kissamos area.

Tourist geared restaurant that offers very friendly staff and delicious food. We had some zucchini flowers filled with rice, garlic Bread, seafood risotto and imam. All very tasty. The seaside view also adds to the lovely atmosphere.

This hidden gem truly knows how to satisfy your cravings for authentic Greek cuisine. First things first, the food! We started our culinary adventure with the heavenly Tzatziki, a creamy and refreshing dip that paired perfectly with the warm garlic bread. It was love at first bite! Next up, the Greek Chicken Souvlaki, a dish that embodies the essence of Greece. Tender and flavorful chicken marinated to perfection, accompanied by fluffy pita bread and that magical tzatziki sauce. The stars of the show were the mouthwatering Moussakà and the indulgent Saganaki. The Moussakà, a traditional Greek casserole, was layers upon layers of pure deliciousness. The perfectly baked eggplant, seasoned ground meat, and creamy béchamel sauce combined harmoniously to create a heavenly symphony of flavors. And the Saganaki, oh my! The crispy outer layer and the gooey, melty cheese inside made it impossible to resist. It was a true cheese lover's dream come true. Maria Beach is nestled in a prime location on Agamemnonos Street, right in the heart of Kissamos. As we dined, we were treated to breathtaking views of the beach, adding an extra touch of magic to our experience. The setting was cozy, welcoming, and infused with a relaxing vibe. It's the kind of place where you can unwind, enjoy great company, and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. What truly set this restaurant apart, though, was the outstanding customer service. The staff at Maria Beach went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. They were attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making our dining experience memorable. Kudos to the team for their impeccable service! At Maria Beach, you not only get exceptional quality but also an excellent bang for your buck. Our group of five friends indulged in this culinary extravaganza and were pleasantly surprised when the bill arrived. The total came to 156€, which, considering the fantastic food, delightful ambiance, and top-notch service, was more than reasonable. In conclusion, our visit to Maria Beach was an absolute delight. The food was simply sensational, the location was perfect, the customer service was impeccable, and the overall experience was unforgettable. If you find yourself in Kissamos and craving an authentic Greek feast, do yourself a favor and make your way to Maria Beach. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

beautiful restaurant. They immediately brought us free water. They brought us huge portions that we had a hard time finishing, especially with hearty dishes such as Spaghetti Carbonara. Spaghetti Carbonara should have a different name because Carbonara doesn't taste like that, but I still liked it. What I have to criticize is very little bacon, which tasted more like ham.

Excellent food and location! Right on the beach. Delicious seafood platter. Enough for 3! Fast and friendly service. Free grappa and rika to boot! Don't miss it!

We had lunch here twice during our stay in Kissamos. The restaurant is located right next to the beach, so you get a great view. Both times the food was delicious and the service was fast and courteous.

The price and quality of the food does not much. Check the bill, as they add 23% taxes + another 13% taxes. It doesn't exis in another restaurants. When I asked for an explanation, they said that for some products they have to add a 23% tax for some 13.🙀Don't order Sangria, the worst Sangria that I had. 😒

Beautiful place. Restaurant view right next to the beach, the prices are good, waiters are very friendly and the food is phenomenal. Highly recommended.

The best shrimp saganaki I ve ever had! Also the grilled octopus and calamari were very good, as an appetizer try the zuchinni fried balls with tzatziki, super tasty! The final touch was the creme brulee on the house every time, I would go there only for this:))) sooo good! We ate here 4 times during our stay, everything super tasty, nice view over the beach, super comfortable beach chairs at only 10 euro/day, they have showers and very clean toilets.

Als korte tussenstop is het nog wel de moeite om even uit te stappen 🙂. (Translated by Google) As a short stopover, it is still worthwhile to get out 🙂.

Don't expect much, but it's a pretty cool natural feature, and you can climb it a bit! Considering it appears on quite a lot of tourist literature, surprisingly there's no parking, no way to get to it other than by car, and no information once there.

We had the place to ourselves. It was fun to hike all over these odd hills.

Beatiful scenery and there's free parking on the side of the road next to it.

Great place to stop at during the trip to the south.Very unusual and interesting place.

If you are going to balos or elfonisi beach you absolutely must stop here as it's on the way. A very interesting natural sand dune formation, that formed when this part of Crete was under water. Looks like you are walking on the moon. Usually you are on of the only person's there. You can park your car on the road next to it.

Very cool place on the way to Elafonissi beach. We spend about 30 minutes to explore

Interesting sculptures, not easy to climb, but if you go on the right hand side, you can get almost on the top. Prepare yourself to have dust everywhere. There are horses around.

Unbelievable that such pyramids were created 7 mln yrs ago and are here up this date. Nice surrounding beautiful views.

It's something additional to your main trip. We decided to check it out on the way back from Elafonisi. It's close to the main road so... why not? You can take an interesting photos there, especially when the evening light.

Strange clay landscape created by erosion. The site is rather small but worth a visit, especially if you're on your way to Elafonissi beach. Free access. The kids will love clambering all over the structures.

Cool natural formation. Worth a quick visit if you're traveling by. Easy to access by parking by the roadside.

Fence of ruin of a venetian house. As è visited there were two builders working on what was probably a large scale restoration. Walking around the house is fun enough but a visit is not worth any sizeable detour.

Ruins of nice old villa, you can not enter, not available for turist, in very bad condition, next to private houses, I would recommend it for people interested specifically in historical architecture. I enjoyed it a lot even if just for few minutes.

Pretty venetian villa reclaimed by flora and fauna over the coarse of time. Tread carefully if wearing flip flops as there's no footpath.

Old manor forgotten amongst the olive trees.

(Translated by Google) Venetian villa from the 16th century. Now in total and complete abandonment, unfortunately. It's worth going there even just to get lost among the olive trees. Interesting! (Original) Villa Veneziana del '500. Ora in totale e completo abbandono, purtroppo. Vale la pena andarci anche solo per perdersi tra gli ulivi. Interessante!

(Translated by Google) After years I returned to see Villa Trevisan which I found fenced off and in a state of total abandonment. (Original) Dopo anni sono tornata a vedere villa Trevisan che ho trovato recintata e in stato di abbandono totale.

(Translated by Google) Although it was very nice as a building and they could have used it as a museum, they left it to ruin, if they don't complete the work they had started in two or three years, it will all fall down. Pity and what a pity. (Original) Αν και ηταν παρα πολυ ωραιο σαν κτηριο και μπορουσαν να το αξιοποιησουν για μουσειο το αφησαν και ρημαξε,εαν δεν συναιχισουν τις εργασιες που ειχαν ξεκινησει σε δυο τρια χρονια θα πεσει ολο κατω.ΚΡΙΜΑ και παλι κριμα.
