Bali Bay and the villas on the hillside above it

Location

Bali, Crete

Rethymno · Greece

A bay in the middle of the island

Bali is one of the most loved seaside destinations in Crete, known for its clear water, picturesque bays and the way the mountains come down to meet the sea. It sits almost at the centre of the island, which makes it an easy base both for beach days and for exploring.

The area has several organised sandy beaches and small hidden coves, along with beach bars, traditional taverns, cafés, bakeries, mini markets and shops — everything needed for a carefree holiday. Swimming, boat trips, water sports, seaside dining and sunsets are all a short distance away.

Despite being lively through the summer, Bali keeps its authentic Cretan character and its quiet. The villas sit above the bay, a ten-minute walk from the beach.
