Summer in Crete
About
In Crete during the summer, the sun-drenched beaches of Elafonissi and Balos Beach draw visitors with their turquoise waters and soft sands. At Elafonissi, the shallow lagoon invites families and couples alike to wade through its warm shallows. Meanwhile, in Balos, the stunning natural scenery rewards those who make the journey, with dramatic cliffs and a unique blend of sea and land that feels distinctively Cretan.
