ATTRACTION
 

Elafonisi Beach 

While all of Crete’s beaches are beautiful, there is something very special about the beaches that can be found on the island of Elafonisi. Located in South-west Crete, Elafonisi is separated from Crete’s shores by a very shallow lagoon. In fact, it is so shallow that visitors can easily walk the 200 meters (650 feet) to the island. The waters around this island are crystal clear, and its sand ranges from sparkling white to a soft pink hue.

Samaria Gorge 

The Samaria Gorge is a 16 km (10 miles) long canyon in southwest Crete. Walking the Samaria Gorge is extremely popular and more than a quarter million tourists do so each year. The walk takes 4 to 7 hours and passes through forests of ancient cypresses and pines, then cuts between vertical cliffs through the mountains to emerge at Agia Roumeli on the Libyan sea.

The Arkadi Monastery 

The Arkadi Monastery was the site of one of the most tragic incidents in Crete’s history. In 1866, the Cretan residents, who were then under Turkish rule, decided to revolt. At one point during the rebellion, more than 940 Greeks, mostly women and children, took sanctuary in the monastery.

Rethymnon Old Town 

The old town of Rethymnon (or Rethimno) is located in the midst of the modern city and features a rather unique blend of Venetian and Crete architecture. Rethymnon was established in 1204, after the Venetians had conquered Crete, so most of the remaining buildings in the old town area are of Venetian creation. The Old Town’s narrow streets and its small Venetian harbor are wonderful for walking, shopping, enjoying dinner at a small tavern and taking in Rethymnon’s remarkable architecture.

Agios Nikolaos 

Situated on lovely Mirabello Bay in eastern Crete, Agios Nikolaos offers visitors a mix of the modern and the traditional. It is a medium-size port town that is extremely picturesque and has some style and charm, which it exploits to the full. The town’s Lake Voulismeni, which is lined with charming small cafes and boutiques, has been the subject of a number of legends.

Falasarna beach 

Τhe beach in Falassarna is one of the largest in the province. It is 59 kilometers west of Chania, and you need a vehicle to get there. Ιt is worth staying on the beach till sundown, to enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in Greece, where the sun “dives” in the water right in front of the horizon …

Mpalos beach 

It is one of those landscapes that one sees once in his lifetime and where the greatness of nature is fully depicted. To visit Mpalo beach you can board on one of the cruise boats that depart from Kissamos and sail to Mpalos and the islet of Gramvousa with its own lovely beach.

The Topolia Gorge 

The gorge of Topolia is located in western Crete, along the road that leads to Elafonissi.
