Grey beach

This beautiful beach boasts emerald-hued waters that perfectly blend the allure of southern Crete with a touch of Africa. During my visit, I was delighted to find that the area remained unspoiled, with only one boat arriving each day. The boat in question is a pirate vessel that departs from the far shore, adding a sense of adventure to the already enchanting experience.
