Balos Lagoon - Balos Lagoon, once visited by Princess Diana and Prince Charles, is renowned for its stunning exotic landscape, untamed natural beauty, and breathtaking turquoise waters. The lagoon features a mix of turquoise, vivid blue, and exotic white waters. In some areas, the sand has a striking pink hue due to countless crushed shells. Venturing further into the sea, beyond the natural rock boundaries, the water becomes colder and deeper, perfect for snorkeling.
Balos Lagoon is protected under the Natura 2000 program due to its rare flora and fauna. Approximately 400 plant species have been documented in the area, with 25 species native to Crete, and three unique to Balos. The lagoon is a haven for numerous migratory birds that feed and breed here, including Eleonora falcons, cormorants, and shags nesting in nearby caves. The area also serves as a sanctuary for the protected loggerhead or Caretta-Caretta sea turtle and monk seal.
