Vai

Explore

The eastern part of Crete hides some of the nicest surprises. The exotic beaches of the islands Chrissi and Lefki can be explored by taking a sea trip on excursion boats from Ierapetra and Makrigialos. The protected palm forest at Vai and Itanos strongly reminds of an African landscape, while the secluded beaches of Karoumes and Xerokambos are a must-see for nature lovers. The dry rocky landscape changes dramatically a few miles to the west, on the serene strands formed below the slopes of Thripti range. The capital of Lassithi, Agios Nikolaos, hosts the lovely beaches of Gargadoros, Istron and Ammoudara.

Παραλία Δραγονάδας

From the port of Dragonada, a short path leads us north to the large, sheltered bay of Dragonara with its clear blue waters and beautiful seabed. The beach is generally rocky with large pebbles, and there is shade from some junipers. In general, it is almost certain that you will be alone here.
