Balos Lagoon

Gallery. Selected fresco and architectural details.

Balos is an exceptional example of a natural lagoon, where crystal-clear water spreads shallowly across wide sandbanks. The colors shift with the light and time of day, creating striking gradations of blue, turquoise, and pink. The area is protected, and rules are in place prohibiting activities such as collecting shells or driving off designated routes. The cliffs surrounding Balos provide shelter for birds and the wild kri-kri goats. Even in high season, taking just a few steps away from the main access point is enough to feel as though you’ve entered a secluded paradise.

The gallery contains 5 photographs.
