Bali
Couples and families who enjoy small bays, sea views and beach or pool days.
Bali is arranged around several separate bays on Crete’s northern coast, with small beaches, restaurants and accommodation extending up the hills. The bays shape the holiday rather than one continuous beach frontage.
Choose it for a stay focused on the sea and compare the individual coves and addresses. Sea conditions vary with the weather. The resort’s slopes and spread mean two properties in Bali can create very different walks and daily routines.
Our tip
Bali has slopes. Check the walk from a hillside villa to the actual beach, especially when travelling with small children.
