Because we had so much time left at the end of our trip through Greece, we went to Crete. It was a great idea, i didn't want to have missed it. Everything is wonderful here. The land, monuments and also the people, who are exremely friendly and seem to always be relaxed. Especially the village of Matala, with it's Hippie caves, was very interesting, which were once tombs and are now under archeological protection. I can only recommend everybody to go to this nice island!

Situated in the proximity of Pigadia is a beautiful beach which is famous by the name of Achata Beach. The presence of huge number of pebbles in this beach and the clean plus beautiful waters of this beach add to its importance. You can also enjoy local sea food which is regularly sold on the beach itself. Another beach in the proximity of Pigadia is Apella Beach which has an awesome tavern that adds to the beauty of the beach. The surrounding mountains and the awesome relaxing atmosphere is something which no one would like to miss while in this island.... Read more »
