Well-known, famous, much photographed, dreamy, heavenly, unique are some of the features of Balos Lagoon. You just have to visit it and give your description to one of the most beautiful Greek regions. It is located on the southwest part of the prefecture of Chania, near Kissamos within 55 km from the city of Chania and 17 km from Kissamos. It has shallow waters, the sea is warm with bright blue and turquoise waters and stunning color in the sand, which, at many of the points, it has a wonderful pink hue that is given by the countless broken shells, as in Elafonissi.
