Bali

Bali, once a quiet fishing hamlet, has grown into a charming and lively coastal village while still retaining its authentic Greek character. Its pretty whitewashed houses, cascading flowers, and sunny coves give the village a quintessentially Cretan feel, perfect for a relaxed seaside escape.

Life here moves at a gentle, easy-going pace, ideal for unwinding on one of the tiny sand and shingle beaches. For those seeking a little adventure, a day trip to the Melidoni Cave near the traditional mountain village of Margarites—just 25 minutes’ drive away—is highly recommended, offering a fascinating glimpse into Crete’s ancient past.

Bali has plenty to keep visitors entertained, with a wide selection of tavernas, restaurants, cafés, and shops, ensuring you can enjoy authentic local cuisine and browse for souvenirs at leisure. For those looking for evening fun, the village also offers a nightclub or two, while still maintaining a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Whether you’re seeking sun-soaked beaches, historic excursions, or a taste of traditional Cretan life, Bali provides a perfectly balanced coastal getaway for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
