Balos Resort

The charming village with an even more charming, almost 0.5 km long beach, is located on the south-west of the Greek island of Samos, fringed by rocks and hills covered with low green vegetation. The best way to get to Samos is by a rented car or a motorbike. Accommodation facilities in Balos are mostly family ones, you won´t find there huge hotel complexes. In the local tavernas, you can enjoy fresh seafood, fish, pastry, fruit, vegetables and other traditional foodstuffs and homemade dishes.

Balos beaches

The Balos beach has no lifeguards, you won´t find there neither training centres of water sports nor the ubiquitous bars tempting their visitors for overpriced colourful drinks but all that is offset by a truly impressive scenery: crystal-clear turquoise water through which you can see up to the seabed to the distance of several dozens of metres from the shore, and huge green and grey lofty rocks as a background for all that splendour. Besides that, the place is really peaceful. You will never need to search your place where to put your blanket or deckchair as the beach is never full. Its surface is covered with pebbles, so, suitable shoes are recommended. Another nice beach in the surroundings is Psili Ammos which is a sandy beach where you can bathe naked.

What to do in Balos

Since Balos is only a small sleepy traditional village with a peaceful pace of life, don´t expect any hilarious parties or celebrations. Balos is a real paradise for those who want to enjoy complete peace and relaxation together with bathing in the sea or going on trips to the surroundings. The locals are really nice and will certainly help you to enjoy the time of your holiday.

If you are searching for more services, visit the nearby village of Pyrgos located about 10 km far away.
