Traveling in Greece: Chania on Crete Island and Balos Pink Beach. Take an overnight ferry from Athens to Chania, the second largest city on Crete Island, known for its well-preserved old town and Venetian harbor. At sunrise, the ancient lighthouse at the Venetian harbor and the pink clouds look like a painting. On a city walk through Chania’s old town, the architecture blending Venetian and Ottoman styles and the narrow streets full of medieval charm make for a very pleasant stroll in the sea breeze.
From the town of Kissamos, take a Jeep with eDay Travel Tours & More to Balos to check out the pink beach. Hiking to and from the beach from the mountaintop, experiencing strong winds, sun, rain, ever-changing weather, and sheep everywhere is a very unique experience.
