Top 10 East Crete 📍

During our June stay, we went exploring Eastern Crete: from coastal villages and famous beaches to historic monasteries, mountain towns, and archaeological sites.

This carousel features 10 places that we believe should be on every East Crete itinerary: Mochlos, Vai, Agios Nikolaos, Sitia, Kritsa, Kato Zakros, Xerocampos, Elounda, Toplou Monastery, and Voulisma Beach.

What makes Eastern Crete so special is the variety. You can wander through traditional villages in the morning, visit centuries-old landmarks in the afternoon, and end the day with a swim in crystal-clear waters. And while these are some of the region’s must-see highlights, they are only part of the story.

We visited many more beautiful places during our stay and quickly realised that Eastern Crete is a destination that rewards exploration. Around every corner, there seems to be another hidden beach, authentic taverna, scenic viewpoint, or charming village waiting to be discovered.

If you’re planning a trip to this part of Crete, start with these 10 places, but leave room in your itinerary for the unexpected. That’s where some of the best memories are made.

📍 Mochlos, Lasithi, Crete: The hidden seaside village you’ll wish you found sooner 🇬🇷✨

If you’re looking for the Crete that still feels authentic, slow, and untouched by mass tourism, put Mochlos at the top of your list. 🌊

This tiny fishing village on Crete’s northeast coast is where crystal-clear water meets waterfront tavernas, colorful fishing boats, and some of the most beautiful sunsets on the island. ☀️⛵

✨ Why visit Mochlos?
• Peaceful atmosphere away from the crowds
• Fresh seafood served right by the sea 🦞
• Stunning swimming spots with turquoise water 💙
• Ancient Minoan history on the small island just offshore 🏺
• Perfect base for exploring eastern Crete

Spend the morning swimming, enjoy a long seaside lunch, and watch the sun paint the bay golden as local life unfolds around you. This is the Crete many travelers never get to see.

📌 Save this for your next Crete trip.
