Chania is home to Balos Lagoon, a shallow bay known for its striking views, and Falassarna Beach, a long sandy shore favored by locals. This motorized jeep tour lasts about 7 to 8 hours and includes transport in a 7-seater 4WD vehicle with air conditioning and up to six guests per vehicle. The tour starts with a drive along an 18-kilometer (12-mile) rough road from Kaliviani village to the Balos parking lot, a route not accessible to larger buses or minibuses. Guests then walk a short distance to a viewpoint above Balos Lagoon to take photos and see the bay from above, but no hike down to the beach is included. After Balos, the tour continues to Falassarna Beach where guests have about three hours to relax. At Falassarna, loungers with pillows and umbrellas are reserved in the first row on the beach for sunbathing and swimming in the clear water. Lunch is served at a chosen restaurant and beach bar that meets the company's standards, featuring Cretan flavors along with a first round of wine or beer. Guests also receive coffee or soft drinks, fruits, local energy bars, dessert or fruit after lunch, and bottled water throughout the day. The local driver and host provides information about the area and ensures a smooth experience. Pickup is included within 5 kilometers east and 25 kilometers west of Chania. Gratuities and beach towels are not included.
