Overview
The experience begins with a private pickup from your accommodation and a drive to the most famous and widely photographed spot in Crete, the Balos Viewpoint. Access is by Jeep, and entrance fees are already covered. From this point, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Balos lagoon without waiting, hassle from boats, or crowds.
