Kisamos et la plage de Balos
... l'a trouvée, est assez jolie. Nous visitons plusieurs auberges recommandées par les guides, mais elles sont trop chères. C'est partout la même chose.

Nous tentons de trouver quelque chose un peu plus loin, et arrêtons par hasard à un coin de rue, devant grande maison qui affiche des chambres à louer. Il s'agit en fait ...
