TO SEE
For those wanting to explore beyond Bali, Panormo village is an excellent nearby destination. With its well-organized beaches, traditional tavernas, and charming shops, it offers a beautiful setting to enjoy authentic Cretan life. Both Bali and Panormo are perfect for leisurely strolls, with their picturesque harbors and stunning sea views. In Bali, don’t miss the opportunity to take a boat excursion along the coast to Rethymno, where you can admire the dramatic rock formations and hidden caves along the way. Whether you’re relaxing by the sea or exploring the local shops, Dream Villas provide the perfect starting point for a memorable Cretan holiday.
TO DO
Bali’s stunning beaches are its main attraction, with four sandy coves featuring greenish, calm waters perfect for families and children. The organized beaches are equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, and offer water sports for those seeking a bit more excitement. For divers, there is a local diving school, and after a day of swimming, you can relax in one of Bali’s tavernas or bars. In addition, Panormo, another delightful seaside village, is just a 10-minute drive away and offers similarly beautiful sandy beaches, such as Limanaki and Limni, which are perfect for families due to their shallow waters and wind protection.
