Bali , Crete

Bali is small and scenic and although relatively heavily developed it’s still one of the prettiest beach resorts in Crete. The landscape in parts might make you think of the Amalfi Coast (especially when the bougainvillea is in flower). The resort winds around several bays, each with a small beach. Due to the hills, it feels pretty remote from its neighbouring resorts although the main road between Heraklion and Rethymnon passes just behind the town. One of the prime benefits of its geography is the amazing views from every corner. It’s perfect for young couples and adults looking for somewhere with a romantic but modern vibe and not too quiet. Bali is not an extensive resort and this isn’t a party town – think sunset cocktails at a beach bar rather than thumping clubs. The vibe is a pleasant mix of traditional Greek and international tourism. You’ll also find Greek tavernas, bakeries, and boho cafes with panoramic views.
