2025 Mylopotamos Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

This is my 5th time here. Bali(on), the fishing village is waking up, captivating more and more travellers and influencers . Approx 1 hour from Heraklion, Crete island's main airport, 30m from Rethrymno; this place is mesmerising. The traditional white stone buildings mixed with newly built villas, coloured apartments, the blue sea, the cuddling mountains and the sand & rock formations. Despite being acrelatively quiet place, there are an abundance of restaurants, shops with locally made produce, and beaches. Yes, you can choose between 5 beaches which all connected by the main road and even if you walk, it can be visited easily. Choose Mythos beach for family fun including snorkeling or the Karavastosi beach for clean and crisp water with a chance of seeing turtles. I visited over 30 countries, been to other 4 Greek destinations, yet I never get bored of Bali, this tinker box of Crete island. #ambience #beach #travel#greece #crete

The Minoan Palace Centers on Crete comprise a series of six archaeological sites dating from 1900 to 1100 BC. These sites represent the Minoan civilization, a significant prehistoric Mediterranean culture. The palace centers served as administrative, economic, and religious hubs, featuring advanced architecture, urban planning, and vibrant frescoes. They reveal early writing systems, maritime networks, and cultural exchanges, showcasing the complexity of Minoan social structures and their lasting impact on Mediterranean history. In 2025, the Minoan Palace Centers were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
