Mavromouri Beach, also known as Psilos Ammos (“Fine Sand”), lies in the Ellinon Spitia area, just north of Karoumes Beach, at the remote eastern edge of the Lassithi region.

On the western side of the largest island of the Dionysades, Dragonada, and just before we meet the impressive cape of Gaidouropoda, 6 imposing stone columns, which the locals call columns, rise up to 40 meters high from the water.

Gremopezes beach is located within the limits of the naval base in Kyriamadi, Sitia, and below the radar of Kefala in Cape Sidero. Opposite is the rocky islet of Sidero and to the west are the rocks of Ftena Trachilia.

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.

Dragonada island and in general the complex of the Dionysades islands, in addition to its ecological interest due to the population of Eleonora's falcon, also has exceptional geological interest.

Armenopetra is located in a rather difficult location to the south of mount Vouvala, between Agia Galini and Agios Pavlos, in the vicinity of the village Melambes

Almyrida is a small seaside settlement in the vicinity of the village of Sises in the Mylopotamos district, 38 km east of the city of Rethymno. The settlement is not particularly developed, so you will mainly see locals.

Finikidia beach is located in the territory of the village of Saktouria of Agios Vasilios, between Agia Galini and Agios Pavlos. It is formed near a stream, on the banks of which there is a fairly large cluster of Cretan palm trees (Phoenix theophrastii).
