However…
As many ratings as you read, as many nice pictures as you see … Nothing can make you realize how you will feel when you come to Balos!
- When you’ ll walk through the serene lagoon or lie in.
- When you’ ll swim in its shallow, crystal, emerald, aquamarine waters.
- When you’ ll relax on the white sandy beach, pink in some spots because of the crushed shell powder.
- When you’ ll notice the wild natural beauty of the landscape, the cliffs and slopes rising above your head.
