  @@kerryanntpowell This boat trip says they can reach Balos Beach between 250 & 100 metres from the shore. They will do everything to get as close as they can. We were lucky and it wasn’t busy but still we were ancored a fair distance so my family didn’t want to swim to the beach but we enjoyed jumping into the sea and relaxing on the boat. This trip also pulled right up to Gramvousa Island so no swimming needed just walked straight off, I couldn’t say what other trips I like, sorry. I booked with these on the internet and really had a great day www.getyourguide.co.uk/crete-l404/full-day-boat-cruise-to-balos-lagoon-and-gramvousa-island-t157110/? they even provide a wonderful option to download a guide in various languages. I have heard that the new rules of not putting a jetting so the boats can pull up and passengers walk off to land is changing and the jetty’s will be back BUT I don’t know if that is true or not! Hope you have a lovely time if you go and it’s not too busy 🌞

  Thank you so much for your message. Depends where you are coming from but there are smaller roads pretty much linking all of Galini so you don’t need to walk on the main road. When you get to the Bridge on the main road near the petrol station you just cross over the main road and you follow the dirt track. it’s very easy and as an example at a reasonable pace it took my friends 15min from Plazza Greco Hotel only using small roads and then only crossing the main road by the bridge. Have a wonderful week 🌞

  We loved it here, great value for money, very relaxing, amazing views, the restaurant you can op for all inclusive which we did because there is else nothing around and we didn’t want to explore the point was to enjoy Kalypso. The only thing some of the higher rooms didn’t have good Wi-Fi and I needed it for work so moved to a lower room, it was such a shame because the higher room had an amazing balcony and view however that was a few years ago so maybe it is all fixed now. We enjoyed the pool and swimming off the rocks, the food breakfast, lunch and dinner was excellent with lots of choices. When we were there we didn’t go to the bar in the evenings but it always seemed pretty quiet when we walked past at night, so if you are looking for lively nightlife then this isn’t for you but again maybe it has changed now. The hotel also offer some good day trips, a taxi is easy to arrange to take you to Plakias or nearby, you can hire a car and self explore or walk, some brilliant walks straight from the hotel. I do have a website if you would like to take a look it has a map with all my videos and lots around that area cretalife.com/ Hope this helps and here if you need to know anything else. have a great holiday wherever you decide to go! 🌞

  Thank you for your lovely message. You have lots in and around Heraklion, the most famous being Knossos Palace - maps.app.goo.gl/ArkVtUr19o6VmbxU6?g_st=ic As far as boat trips I am sure the hotel will have excursion options but I am not so sure on where and what they will offer. From Heraklion port I believe you can organise boat trips and there is an island you can see called Dia which again I believe you can organize trips too. We were here too early in the season and nothing was properly open but I am sure there will be excursion shops offering different day trips or you can hire a car and drive along the coast in either direction. Hope this helps and let know if I can anymore. If you wanted too, I have a website and a map with all my videos on it, not so many around Heraklion but I do have places nearby you could check out. cretalife.com/ Have a wonderful holiday 🌞

  Hello so sorry for my late reply, The villas around the area looked lovely the only thing I would say is the immediate beaches in the area were not my favourite BUT Rethymo has an extremely Long Beach and so many places we loved. Along the coast you can organize water sports for sure and there is a hotel 15min drive from this villas which has water sports and I believe anyone can pay and do. For a car was a must, have us more freedom to explore the coastal line and the roads to walk are not that good, typical Greek with no walking path and cars driving fast. We are daytime people so we were out all day, found lovely places for lunch and then relaxed at the villas round the pool and on the roof top in the evenings and made snacks. I do have a website if you would like to look, it has all of my videos on a map and lots around this area cretalife.com/ I really hope this helps and please let me know if you need to know anything else.
