Pervolitsa Bay 💎

Some places in Crete feel completely different once you arrive by boat, and Pervolitsa Bay is one of them!

If you love boat days, swimming in secluded coves and discovering a different side of Crete, put Pervolitsa Bay on your list. 🚤

There’s something completely different about Vai beach. Located on the far eastern coast of Crete, this spectacular beach is famous for its natural palm forest, giving the landscape an almost tropical feel. 🌴☀️

The contrast between the lush palms, golden sand and deep blue Sea makes Vai one of those places that feels instantly memorable.. so much so that It was used many years ago for the advert for bounty chocolate bar! 🥥

And if you’re exploring eastern Crete, Vai is easy to combine with a visit to Itanos, where ancient ruins meet beautiful, quieter beaches just a short drive away. 🏛️

Save this one for your Crete itinerary! 🇬🇷

Foteinari Beach, South Crete 🌊

Some beaches don’t need a beach bar, rows of sunbeds or a long list of things to do. Foteinari is simply somewhere you go, find your spot, get in the sea and do absolutely nothing for a while 🩵

Located on the south coast near Plakias, Foteinari is made up of a couple of small coves, and the water is usually calm and inviting, with the rocky seabed making it a lovely place to bring your mask and spend some time exploring underwater. 🤿

If you’re exploring the south coast by car, add Foteinari to your route and combine it with some of the other beautiful beaches and villages around Plakias! 🚗🇬🇷

SKINARIA BEACH 🇬🇷

If you’re looking for a beach that feels that little more wild, peaceful and authentic, Skinaria Beach is definitely one to add to your list 💙

Down on the south coast near Plakias, Skinaria is a small, beautiful bay surrounded by rugged cliffs and clear turquoise water. It is far less built-up than many of Crete’s famous beaches and is particularly popular with those who love snorkelling and exploring underwater, thanks to the rocky seabed and excellent visibility. 🤿🐠

The road down to the beach is a little steep in places, but the views along the way are part of the adventure,and once you reach the bay, you’ll understand why it’s worth the drive. 🚗

📍 Skinaria Beach, South Crete
💡 Creteunlocked tip: Combine your visit with Plakias, Damnoni or Ammoudaki for a fantastic day exploring the south coast.

Would you add Skinaria to your Crete beach bucket list? 👇💙

Voulolimni - one of western crete’s little hidden gems 💎

Tucked away near chrisoskalitissa, in the far west of crete, voulolimni is not your typical beach..
It’s a small, almost circular natural lagoon, surrounded by rocks and connected to the sea through a narrow opening. The water can be incredibly calm and beautifully clear - making it feel more like a hidden swimming pool than a coastal spot 😍

There’s no big beach club, no rows of sunbeds and no mass tourism… just turquoise water, rugged cretan landscape and that feeling of having discovered somewhere special ✨

🌊 perfect for a peaceful swim
📸 amazing for photos
🚗 best visited as part of a road trip around the west

Save this one for your next crete adventure! 🔐
