A popular tourist resort, Bali is yet ideal for a quiet family holiday. It sits on the side of an ancient town – Astali, which the Venetians later shortened to Atali, before the Turks gave it is present name.
Here you will find amenities such as a doctor and a pharmacy, and many shops. Within the village there operate a great number of hotels, apartments and rooms for rent, restaurants, tavernas (fresh fish and the delights of the Cretan cuisine). In the summer months, a ‘water taxi’ will ferry people too and from Rethymnon.
Bali has five sheltered beaches – all sandy and with greeny-grey crystal waters .. and a small harbour.
For lovers of water-sports, Bali hosts a diving school.
The first beach you encounter on entering Bali is the largest of all. It is well-equipped, and attracts a crowd in the summer.
The second beach lies a little to the east – it, however, has no infrastructure and therefore has less visitors.
The third beach is small and sheltered, with sand and clear waters – recently becoming developed, there are on every side now tavernas that have fresh fish too, as well as hotels and apartments to rent.
By this is the small port, with a tiny each associated: though small it too is reasonably organized and you will find all you need nearby.
The fifth and final strand is the most scenic: organized, with umbrellas and sunbeds, it yet does not boast the same array of amenities that the others can.
When here, remember to pay a call to the Atalis Monastery: built in the 17th century AD, and dedicated to Aghios Ioannis.
Continuing eastwards, the next beach encountered is that of Korakia.

The Rural Greece is an online portal that connects travellers with unique destinations and local businesses in the countryside, offering authentic experiences through activities that highlight nature, traditions and culture.
For the Rural Greece accessibility is fundamental to enhancing an inclusive tourism experience. Following the principles of inclusion and equality, the epaithros Rural Tourism Network and its member businesses are constantly working to enhance the tourism services provided, ensuring that all visitors have the opportunity to experience the authentic beauty of the Greek countryside.
Sustainability in tourism refers to a way of developing tourism that respects and protects the environment while strengthening the local economy and preserving cultural traditions. The aim of sustainable tourism is to provide unique and authentic experiences for visitors without harming the natural and social environment, while ensuring that local communities benefit from tourism activity.
This type of tourism is based on three pillars:
With sustainable tourism, visitors can have authentic experiences, knowing that the impact of tourism on the region is positive and lasting for future generations.
For Rural Greece, localism is one of the most important factors for the development of sustainable tourism, as it promotes a strong link between the tourism product and the local society, economy and culture. Through localism, visitors get the opportunity to explore authentic elements of the destination, such as local products, traditions and culture. This not only boosts the local economy, but also helps to sustain and strengthen local businesses, creating new jobs and supporting the development of local communities.
Furthermore, localism contributes to the sustainability of the tourism sector, as it reduces the use of resources from other regions and encourages the use of local goods and services, reducing the ecological footprint of tourism activities. Thus, integrating localism into tourism practices enhances sustainability awareness, both among visitors and local businesses, creating a more responsible and sustainable tourism destination.
