Elafonisi is one of the most well-known beaches not only in Crete but also entire Greece as I learned. A famous summer hotspot with a strange morphology and a stunning, beige dust like sand. Located at the western part of Hania the area offers two adjacent beaches that are connected to the small peninsula right opposite them with a sandy pice of land, the place is a heaven. The sand has taken its exceptional pink-beige hue from broken shells, while the wide area is a shelter for endangered careta-careta turtles.
Frangokastello is the location of a castle and scattered settlement on the south coast of Crete which was built by the Venetians in 1371-74 as a garrison to impose order on the rebellious Sfakia region, to deter pirates, and to protect Venetian nobles and their properties. Orthi Ammos is a sandy oasis app. 10min walk at the road from Frangokastelo to the east. Orthi Ammos is partially protected from south winds and has beautiful turquoise waters, the sand dunes and the overall unspoiled scenery made swimming merely unforgettable!
