Bali lies on the north coast of the Greek island of Crete. Thirty-five kilometres east of Rethymnon, it is a small
village that has developed on the cliffs above the bay. Surrounded by verdant hills, Bali is a very picturesque resort with a wide range of amenities. There are several beaches in the area offering a range of leisure activities. Bali is an ideal place for families, fairly quiet and with good facilities both on and off the beaches. The waters around the coast are sparklingly clear, perfect for snorkelling and diving. Sailing, jet skiing and paragliding are all available. Most popular time to visit Bali is in the summer. The season extends from April to October when the temperature range from 25-38 degrees. Bali, originally a small fishing village, still has only three hundred and fifty permanent residents. Bali has a small harbour and five small coves, beaches offering water sports and tavernas and bars serving good traditional food. The old St. John’s Monastery, a short walk from the town, is well worth visiting. Those who wish to explore beyond Bali will find facilities for car hire and local buses which go to Rethymnon and Heraklion city. |
