Agiofarago Beach

Overview

You're spoilt for choice when it comes to picturesque beaches in Crete. Yet, as summer gets busy with flocks of tourists, deciding to visit a spot that flies slightly under the radar with most will quickly pay you back and more.

In the southwest corner of the island, Agiofarago Beach is just the place. Flanked by towering cliffs and plunged in crystal-clear water, the trek through a gorge is worth the trip alone.

Take a quick detour to the nearby chapel for a history lesson.
