Notes
- Please note that the hike to Balos Beach can be demanding for elderly visitors, pregnant women, and those with lower fitness levels. The trail begins with a downhill walk from the parking area to the beach, followed by an uphill climb on the return. During the summer months (due to the heat) the hike might be a bit challenging for everyone.
Smart Tip: Balos beach is not organized with sun-beds and umbrellas. There are only a few available for rent and no reservations can be made. Please advise your clients accordingly.
