At the eastern end of the juniper wood of Chrisi we meet the small beach at Fragou Mnima. The area hosts a small saltpan, which the locals call Kaki Alyki and in winter it turns into a small swamp.
In addition to the junipers, small pine clusters have been developed at this point, which can cause problems to the junipers of the island due to their ecosystem pe*******on. The bottom is rocky and the beach is generally empty.

Stefanou beach is located at the position of Seitan Limania (i.e. satan harbours), 22km northeast of Chania and 2km east of the village Chordaki, at the east side of Akrotiri Cape. The wider area is named Seitan Limania, after the wild landscape, the steep cliffs and the strong sea streams which are considered dangerous. Here are situated three parallel narrow coves, well protected from the waves.
In the northern cove a tiny fantastic beach is shaped, with deep azure waters, namely the beach of Stefanou. The beach has fine pebbles and sand, transferred there from the nearby quarry through the canyon Diplohahalo. On the right and the left sides of the cove, huge marble rocks are standing high to protect the beach from the bad weather. The fame of the beach has faced a rapid increase since 2010, some years after the asphalt road reached the place; the beach is crowded in during peak season. There is a narrow steep path starting from the parking place and leading to the beach, so make sure you wear sneakers.
The beach is also known as Saint Rafael, named after the church at the starting point of the gorge. Moreover, another name is Saint Spyridon, after the old cavernous temple closeby.

Skinaria Beach (or Shinaria) is located 33km south of Rethymno, 3km south of the village Lefkogia, in the east part of the wider Plakias area. Skinaria is a small beach with soft gray-beige sand and fine pebbles, with crystal blue deep water. The seabed is rocky, but on the north part of the beach, it is sandy.
Life thrives in the area, both inside and outside of the sea. On the beach, there are small ponds with fresh water that comes from springs that carry water from the mountain of Kouroupa. Around these lakes lush vegetation has been developed, reminiscent of tropical landscapes. Moreover, locals say that life in the sea is as vivid as that on the beach. Indeed, the seabed of Skinaria is one of the richest on the island. It hosts huge morays, blackfish, octopus, and generally all types of local marine biology, in abundance. Furthermore, water clarity is really impressive, usually exceeding 40m in the horizontal direction. Indeed, it is no coincidence that most scuba diving centers in Crete have Skinaria as their program.
The beach is slightly organized, with a tavern offering a few umbrellas and refreshments; the last time we visited the beach, umbrellas, and sunbeds were free if you bought refreshments. The beach can be accessed via a narrow road that starts from Lefkogia. The very narrow road that starts from Lefkogia leads to the beach after 2km. On the way to the beach, you'll see an amazing cylindric cave on your left hand, inside a rock.

The beach of Agiofarago is located about 80km south of Heraklion city, at the exit of the Gorge Agiofarago. To get there you must either cross the gorge, by easy hiking of about 25-50’, or catch a boat from Matala, Agia Galini, Kokkinos Pirgos or Kali Limenes. We definitely recommend the first option, as the route within the vertical walls of the gorge is breathtaking. On the way you will see the large caves were some hermits from Odigitria monastery still live and the chapel of St. Anthony with a small well with brackish water. The beach at the exit of the gorge is stunning, with fine pebbles and clear blue water, which is usually calm. West of the beach a beautiful rocky arch is formed, beneath which you can swim. Vertical cliffs surround the beach. Naturiism should be avoided here, as the wider area is one of the most religious places of Crete.
If you have your sneakers with you, in the afternoon you should climb the cliffs on the east and reach the top. The view from there is fantastic. If you walk southeast you will meet a hidden saltish lake, called Vourvoulitis, surrounded by vertical cliffs. It is an open sinkhole communicating with the open sea by an undersea passage. You can descend to the lake, but it’s extremely dangerous.
If you want to get here from Heraklion, you should drive the road to Sivas village and then to Odigitria Monastery. From Odigitria you should take the dirt track heading to church of Saint Anthony (the road on the right hand heads to Vathi) After 4km you have to turn right (there is a road sign to Agiofarago) and continue till you reach no end, in a small plateau used for parking. Do not leave your car under any tree for shade if you don't want to see it ruined by goats, that get on the car roof to eat leafs from the tree. Then walk through the gorge for half an hour until you reach the sea. On the way to the beach, you'll meet the small church of Saint Anthony and the cave of Goumenospilios. If you come by boat, you can visit the rocky islet just opposite Agiofarago, that is called Papadoplaka with some small ponds with clear sea salt, usually gathered by the locals.

Spilies or “Tou Maliou to Riaki” (i.e. Maliou stream) is located 15km east of Rethymnon city, in a quiet area, just a few kilometers east of Skaleta and west of Geropotamos. It is quite unknown to most visitors, though it is very close to the highway that connects Heraklion and Rethymno. It is formed in a small rocky bay with a pebbly beach and crystal clear deep waters, protected by vertical cliffs. Characteristic of the cove are the beautiful cavernous rocks that protect the small beach on the west. Beyond the west and the east end of the beach, there are several sea caves and rocks with amazing formations. A part of the east caves collapsed in winter 2011-12. These caves are very important for species such as the endangered Mediterranean monk seal. A great idea is to explore the rocky shores east of the beach and walk to the amazing natural rocky arch of Geropotamos.
On the beach there are some umbrellas and beds and a small canteen; that’s all! The only problem here might be waves, due to common north winds. To reach the beach from Rethymnon, you have to drive in the main road to Heraklion. After Skaleta, you will see “Creta Farm” and after some meters you will see two gas station on both sides of the road. There is a short road leading to the beach (there is a draft sign to Spilies (ΣΠΗΛΙΕΣ)), starting behind the gas station that is located on your left hand. In order not to turn left while in the national road, we suggest that you enter the station on your right and then turn back towards Rethymno.

The monastery Diskouri is located 43km east of Rethymnon and is considered one of the oldest monasteries in Crete. Its age is evidenced by the nearby richly decorated Byzantine church of Saint John the Baptist.
The complex, owned today by the monastery of Halepa, is believed to have been built over an ancient temple of Dioscuri, but this is not proved. It acquired its current form in the last years of the Venetian rule when it resembled a fortress.
In the center of the courtyard, there is the church of Saint George. The old icon of Saint George is famous to the Cretan herders, who swear on that when they are accused of stealing animals.
The monastery was badly damaged by the Turks and the distasteful interventions of the 20th century, so it has substantially altered its initial form. In the courtyard were buried the bishops Parthenios and Meletios, and the chieftain of Arkadi Monastery, Paul Dedidakis.

The seaside village of Platanias is located 11km west of Chania city. The area has faced a great development in tourism during the last decades and the small viillage has now turned into a lively suburb of Chania. The proximity to Chania, the beautiful beach and the regular bus services from Chania have made Platanias the most popular beach near Chania city. The old village is built on a hillside with fantastic view of the sea and the islet of Thodorou.
The beach of Platanias is a lovely long sandy beach, along which there are many hotels of all categories and all the usual touristic facilities. On the beach you will find everything that is provided on well organized beaches, such as beach bars, umbrellas, showers, snack bars, lifeguards, water sports etc. On the east side of the local harbor, close to Agia Marina, you can enjoy swimming in the several small artificial coves. During summer nights, the night clubs in the area host thousands of people, both Greeks and foreigners, who dance till dawn.

Ligres is located 51km south of Rethymno and 7km south of the village Kerames, at the foot of the imposing mount of Siderotas. It is actually the north part of the beachfront called Akoumiani Gialia, starting from Mellissa cape to the south.
Ligres is a vast beach with coarse sand and fantastic deep sea. The relatively tough access has fortunately kept the development of tourism away, making it one of the nicest, tranquil and most secluded beaches on the island. The beach is not organized, but there are taverns and a few rooms on the west part of the beach, which can be accessed by car through a bad asphalt road. At the west end of the beach there is a beautiful waterfall having water all year round, which falls next to the sea!
Beside the northern part of the beach, which is known as Katsouni, there is a nice beach mainly preferred by nudists, and is completely secluded. However, there are many places where you can swim n**e in this vast and emtpy beach.
You should walk the beachfront to Triopetra, till Xiromilia area, with the amazing rock formations. In the middle of Ligres, a nice reddish big rock stands near the sea.

Kaminaki Beach is located 58km south of Heraklion, in the southeastern outskirts of Asterousia Mountains. The surrounding wild mountains form a purely Cretan landscape, with inaccessible gorges, bare rocks, steep cliffs and remote beaches accessible mainly on boat. The beach of Kaminaki is formed at the exit of the wild Perivoliano Gorge, also known as Gerontzou.
Access to the beach is possible mainly through sea, as the gorge is very hard to descend and the beach is too far from the nearest road. The nearest harbor is located 3km to the west in Treis Ekklisies. The beach of Kaminaki is pebbly and is ideal for seclusion and fishing. Here, you will usually find nobody. 400m on the west, you will find the small beach in Agio Pnevma location, but it's not as beautiful as Kaminaki.
On the other side, 700m east of Kaminaki, you will meet a beach with its amazing turquoise water color and a perfect Δ shaped sea cave close to it. The beach is formed at the hug of Alykevra bay, at position Sfakidia, and is well protected by Cape Alykapounda. If you head west and overcome Alykapounda Cape, you will meet the area of Alykevra. There is a small rocky bay where a small spring with fresh water. Here, the local shepherds used to lead their flocks in order to meet their thirst. It was also easy to catch them here, as there are no other water springs in the area. There is only one beach in Alykevra and it is formed at the exit of a very narrow canyon at position Prikovlyhada. The tiny pebble beach of Prikovlyhada is only 5m wide, but it's really amazing as the walls of the canyon can protect you from the sun. There are some amazing caves west of the beach.
