Photographer's Note
Before I have witnessed it, I was not really aware that Crete has some beaches which can easily compete for the title of the best beach in the word. I think I could spend the whole week in the place like Balos Beach itself (in this photo) without getting bored. Each and every fragment of it offered great photo opportunities. This photo was taken from the same POV as my previous photo from this beach here:

Hello Mariusz,
It's clear that Balos has a lot of possibilities in the field of photography.
It seems to me less the place where you look for a spot on the sand to spend a few hours, although I suspect that a lot of visitors do this. I think I would wander around there all the time, always looking for a different viewpoint and different composition :)
Also here I find the colour of the sea amazing.
I suppose we see a sea inlet here or is it maybe a lagoon? In the latter case, you would probably have named your photo 'The blue lagoon'.
I see some on the beach have also set up a tent. Is Balos very remote?
One last question: Is Crete nowadays also a Mediterranean destination frequented by people who like parties and fun and noise all night long? I've seen too many of these places in Cambodia and Thailand ...
Best regards, Paul

Hello Mariusz!
I didn't know Balos beach and had to look at Google Maps: far remote in the extreme west of the island. We did not get farther than to Chania on our honeymoon (which was in 1987), so thanks for reminding me of those magnificent colours.
BTW: We do not dare to return, lest our memories might be spoilt by the certainly different views of the presence.

Hello Mariusz,
A great vantage point to overlook the beach and the clear and calm water. The colours are wonderful and the light and greenish tones of the water on this side of the narrow strip of sand and the darker blue of the open sea make a great contrast.

Hello Mariusz,
A beach, like this, which has beauty and lovely sandy surfaces is a bonus for a family, like yours. Your wife and daughter can enjoy the sea and a little sunbathing, whilst you have an opportunity to search out interesting, photographic features and views.
It's amazing how you have been able to lay so much emphasis on the sea and still have a fine composition! The shallow water is touching on jade hues, whilst the deeper water is deep sapphire, the sky, a little paler.
The beach is not overrun with tourists, even in August, possibly due to the pandemic, but also a bonus for you!
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Piekna kolorystyka z tej greckiej wyspy i chyba jednej z popularniejszych plaz w tej okolicy.Kolorystyka wody i kontrast niesamowity. Nie wiem jakie byly warunki do kadrowania na miejscu, ale wydaje mi sie ciekawym gdyby dodac nieco szerszy fragment nieba - wprowadzilo by to dodatkowy kolor w tym kolorowym pasiaku.
Urokliwe miejsce ladnie pokazane
pozdrawiam

Hi Mariusz,
A great study in blue and green. Nice and sharp and well composed. As you say, it looks like a great place for photography, especially on a sunny day like this.

Good morning Mariusz,
The water turquoise color at the lagoon is an eyes catching object, than on my second glance realized the wide beach and the scale given with the people there.
They keep social distances according to the rules...
Have a nice sunday,
Ike

Mariusz, the hill overlooking this lagoon represents an excellent vantage point to get a general view. The lagoon is separated from the ocean by reefs and we can distinguish two different colors. It means two different depths. Some parasols are installed on the beach. The turquoise hue is very attractive. Fine colors, perfect sharpness, regards.
