Crete is one of the most beautiful islands in the Aegean Sea and is famous for its beaches all over the world. Many of Cretan Beaches have a Blue Flag and are fully organized but most Cretan beaches are quiet, almost hidden, without umbrellas and deck chairs, but they have a crystal clear water. To get to many of them, you have to leave your car and walk. But as those who know, “the harder you get to a beach, the better it is.”
