    Hiking

    I can only agree with Andreas. There is no order at all. It is pure chaos.

    Hiking

    In the high season, there are often thousands (!) of rental cars on the way to Balos every day. Then there is nowhere near enough parking space and people park along the gravel road. Chaos is inevitable. The 2 euros were collected at the beginning of the gravel road in May. Even in May, the parking lot is in chaos around midday. Arriving and departing cars get in each other's way - it took us 15 minutes to escape the chaos. I don't really want to go there in the summer.

    There is no way it is organized - chaotic would be a better description. You still have to see Balos. To avoid the parking chaos, get there early and leave by noon at the latest.
