The most beautiful natural sites to discover Iles grecques

Small white sand beach on the west coast. Family friendly and friendly. You can also stay there, or simply lunch in one of the two good taverns. To get there, take the bus in Hora, direction Pano Meria. Get off at Angali (solitary bus stop on the hill). Next, 15 minutes walk on an asphalt road (on foot or on a âne).

The beaches around Kefalos are the most beautiful of the island: quieter, less crowded and clearer than in the north of Kos, they offer miles of sand and a serenity that is rarely found elsewhere. The ones closest to the village are also the most developed, with tavernas and deckchairs, but the further away you go, the more you will feel like you are alone in the world.

In the bay of Kefalos itself, you will have to leave the village beach and go eastwards to find the pretty beach of Aghios Stefanos and the ruins of its Byzantine church (5th-6th centuries) overlooking the islet of Kastri. Further on, the small bay of Camel Beach can quickly fill up. Beyond, a wide sandy bay links the beaches of Paradise Beach, Lagada, Psilos Gremos and Magic Beach. They are also busy, with sunbeds and tavernas, but remain relatively unspoilt. Finally, Exotic Beach, at the eastern end of the bay, is less visited.

The beaches on the west coast of the peninsula are much less accessible and therefore much less crowded. Agios Theologou, where there is a beach tavern, has a particularly clear sea but the waves can be impressive depending on the wind. As you head south along the coast, you will discover a succession of small, isolated and quiet coves. There are no facilities so bring water and a picnic. The sandy beach of Paradiso and its small hut are a true paradise, preserved and solitary, at the end of the chaotic road.

It owes its name to the color of the sand. Less crowded than the beach of Matala, this beach with cliffs is beautiful, especially at sunset. The view over the Bay of Matala and the beach of Kokkinos is superb when you reach the top of the hill which separates them. Possible possible. A French hippie stayed there several years, we still see his sculptures in the caves, in the form of octopus, sirène…

Visitors are not allowed to stay in the gorge at night. Keep the ticket for the exit.

Sport access in mobylette, also prefer caicos. Sand beach where you can show yourself, where you'll even be exhale to triumph over the cult of the body. Gay vacationers, happily nudist, prefer the right side of the beach. At both ends of the beach, two bars take care of the atmosphere. Explosive!

It is the only freshwater lake in all Crete, in which there are an impressive number of eels and, apparently, turtles. It is also possible to bathe in this beautiful lake surrounded by mountains, as well as to rent pedal boats for pleasant walks on its waters.
