Diaskari Beach - Green Beach

Diaskari beach (Παραλία Διασκάρι), also known as Green Beach, you will find less than 30 km east of Ierapetra. If you spend your holiday in Makry Gialos, you can easily go there on foot, because it is less than 3 km from this holiday resort. This quiet beach with a small and simple tavern is a good way to spend a relaxing day away from more crowded places.

Green Beach

Diaskari is a little known and not very popular beach, which will appeal to people who are looking for more secluded somewhat wild places. This does not mean that the beach is small, just the opposite. Its length is about 350 meters.

The beach is covered with thick sand and small pebbles washed by crystal clear water. When entering the sea, however, you need to show vigilance because the descent is lined with slippery, stone slabs on which it is easy to slip. Larger dimensions of the beach mean that, apart from the relatively small organized part, there is a lot of room for those seeking seclusion on the east side. Often the sympathizers of natureism also use this piece of beach.


Green Beach - Diaskari-Kiosk

Diaskari is also not overloaded with beach infrastructure, you will not find several rows of sun loungers here. For the price of 8 € you can only rent a so-called kiosk, that is, two sun loungers under a straw canopy.
Near the part, just off the asphalt road leading from Makry Gialos, there is also a small tavern. You can eat several freshly prepared Greek delicacies (eg okra in tomatoes) and make small purchases in a mini-market.

Green Beach - view of the beach

The eastern end of the Diaskari beach is marked by a small promontory, after which an even larger and three times longer Lagada beach begins, which is completely wild :)

Falasarna - beach with TOP 10

In 2002, Falasarna won the title of the best beach in Greece. This distinction is by no means accidental, because this place is truly unique by Crete standards. The long and, above all, wide beach called Pachia Amos is completely different from the majority

Beach at Skinaria

Beach at Skinaria

Skinaria is a small beach located along a small bay, whose outlet on both sides ends with a rocky coast. It is still a little-known place overlooked by mass tourism. Peace and quiet and an interesting bottom abounding in the marine flora and fauna are the biggest advantages of this beach. Under favorable conditions, crystal clear water allows visibility up to 40m deep into the sea. It should not be surprising that Skinaria is so eagerly visited by diving centers.

White Lake, or Aspri Limni

White Lake, or Aspri Limni

Aspri Limni means White Lake, although the lake is just a conventional name. Under this term there is a small bay almost completely separated by rocks from the open sea. Only a small narrow isthmus decides that it is not a lake. This fabulous place, full of peace and beautiful colors, is located about half a kilometer west of Chrysokalitissa Monastery.

 A za 10 lat będzie płacz, że turystyka zabija tradycje Kreteńczyków..
gość PiotrWie  Od czasu gdy możemy jechać na 25 - 27 dni myślę nad wyjazdem samochodem - przede wszystkim ze względu na możliwość zabrania rowerów. Dopóki pracowaliśmy i ograniczało nas 26 dni urlopu szkoda nam było 4 dni na przejazd do Aten i z powrotem. Wstępnie myślimy o tym, by w przyszłym roku majowy wyjazd zrealizować samochodem a wrześniowy - samolotem. (...)
gość dodekanezowiec  Przy czym Broń Panie Boże, nie że coś pejoratywnego. Po prostu skojarzyłem z faktem, że płace w Rumunii, co ciekawe, bardzo zbliżyły się wg różnych statystyk do polskich czy np. greckich.  
gość Wiel  „Pismo” czy ilustracje ewlidętnie „czyta” się od środka spiralnie do zewnątrz 
gość dodekanezowiec  Też potwierdzam - Spinalonga piękna i sorry że niestety pomarudzę, ale gdyby tak więcej miejsc na Krecie było z tak turkusową wodą w morzu...  
 Spinalonga to wyspa z duszą ❤️
 Byłam w tym dniu w wąwozie, nic nie zapowiadało takiego załamania pogody. Burza zaczęła się jak byłam gdzieś ok 10 km. To co się potem wydarzyło trudno opisać, z gór lała się woda z błotem, słychać było spadające kamienie. Trzeba było brodzić w rwącym potoku bo załamała się kładka. (...)
 Moje koledzy którzy mieszkają na Krecie mówią że według prognozy tego dnia nie przewidywano żadnego deszczu w tamtym rejonie wyspy.
gość PiotrWie  Na Krecie nie ma GOPR , ale w Samarii w zeszłym roku noga, w tym roku jedna osoba zginęła i piszą w całej Europie. A w Tatrach GOPR , lepsze oznakowanie i co roku kilkanaście trupów. Więc raczej na Krecie bezpieczniej. Ale faktem jest że jak zaczynaliśmy chodzenie po górach Krety przed kilkunastu laty to spotykało się pojedynczych ludzi - a teraz coraz więcej. (...)
 Jestem obecnie na Krecie i w środę byłam na wycieczce na Balos. Dzień wcześniej w prognozach i rano nic nie zapowiadało że będzie załamanie pogody. Burza i ulewny deszcz nadszedł dość gwałtownie. Na Samarię wyrusza się wcześnie rano a wtedy pogoda była ładna. Źle jest oceniać kogoś jeśli się nie zna okoliczności. (...)
