The beaches of Crete
Most visitors who come to Crete between spring and autumn are here to relax on the beautiful beaches of the island.Not all the beaches here are created equal.Some of the beaches in Crete are pebbles, but some are among the most beautiful soft sand beaches in the world, with clear water like the crystal, which shines a turquoise color under the Mediterranean sun.Both are at a striking distance from Chania.And, although these are places to visit, they are really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to remarkable beaches in Crete.Here you will find Matala, a wonderful town, with a fantastic beach stretch, lined at one end of caves.Preventi beach, located at the end of a gorge and supported by huge rocks, but still accessible by a short hike, is another top attraction on this part of the island.One of the top choices here is Voulisma beach, but if you have time to explore a little further, Vai beach, also known as Palm Beach, is one of the top beaches in Crete
