The famous Balos lagoon is covered with white sand next to a rocky landscape and the blue sea. The white sand covers the bottom of the sea and grants to the sea an emerald color. You can get a boat from the port of Kissamos at about 10 am to visit the Balos lagoon, otherwise you have to go on foot. The road to the beach stops about 2 km before it and the visitor has to follow a pave road with gorgeous views to reach it. It takes about half an hour to go down, and the climb up in the end of the day, when you come back, is much more difficult. One beach canteen is provided.
