Bali

Bali is tucked away in a hilly and idyllic section of the coast.

It’s 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 bougainvillaea is in flower).

The resort winds aroundseveral 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.
