Το Βάι βρίσκεται 94 χλμ ανατολικά του Αγίου Νικολάου και 24 χλμ ανατολικά της Σητείας. Είναι η πιο διάσημη παραλία της ανατολικής Κρήτης, καθώς κύριο χαρακτηριστικό του είναι το μεγάλο φοινικόδασος με δέντρα του Θεόφραστου (Phoenix theophrasti).

Elafonisi is located 76km west of Chania and 5km south of Chrysoskalitisa Monastery, in the southwesternmost point of Crete. Elafonisi is an oblong, which often "breaks" in two parts by water giving the impression of being a separate island.

The beach of Malia is the eastern part of the vast beach (6km length) starting from Stalis. It is a wide beach with fine sand and shallow waters. It is so crowded that there is no space between the sunbeds to fit a pin! Here you can find whatever comfort you ask.

Vai was totally unknown until the early 1970s, when a popular commercial for the Bounty chocolate with coconut was filmed here, using the magical background of palm trees. In the advert, coconuts were falling from trees, however Vai palms produce dates. Consequently coconuts had to be falsely hung to create the right impression. The ad made this unknown earthly paradise renowned throughout the world.
