Lassithi beaches

The coastline of Lassithi combines sandy beaches, palm groves and wild rocky coves. In the South Cretan Sea, the beaches of Chrissi and Koufonissi stand out, while the eastern coast includes the palm forest of Vai, the beaches of Itanos, Karoumes and Xerokambos. Farther west, the landscape becomes greener below the slopes of the Thripti Mountains, while near Agios Nikolaos notable beaches include Gargadoros, Voulisma and Ammoudara.
