A secluded beach at the Asprolithos gorge in the hot, dry south east.
Votsalaki has sand and fine pebbles with crystal turquoise water, in one of the most arid parts of Crete.
The landscape is arid and rocky, one of the driest parts of Crete. It's secluded and peaceful.
The far south-east of Crete is one of the driest areas of Greece, with a landscape of rocks, thyme and carob trees. Votsalaki lies at the mouth of the Asprolithos gorge, and its water is crystal clear and turquoise. It's quiet and natural, perfect for those who love remote places.
Sitia is the far east of Crete, a quieter, less touristy area of dry hills, olive groves and vineyards. The town of Sitia has a pretty harbour, a Venetian fortress and museums, and the area includes the palm beach of Vai, the Toplou monastery, the Minoan palace of Zakros and the Gorge of the Dead. Much of the area is part of the Sitia UNESCO Geopark. The local olive oil is among the best in Greece.
Lasithi, the eastern end of Crete, is quieter and greener than you might expect. Agios Nikolaos wraps around a small lake and a lively harbour, with cafés on the water and beaches within walking distance. Just north, Elounda and Plaka look across to the fortress island of Spinalonga, one of the most moving places on the island. Περισσότερα για Λασίθι
