Old hag's jump

This beach is a real gem, but don't be fooled by its pristine appearance. Access is a nightmare, with a treacherous dirt road and rocky terrain that make it a challenge for even the most intrepid beach-goers. The shoreline is littered with jagged stones of all shapes and sizes, making it a treacherous place to navigate. But don't let that deter you - there are plenty of swimming spots that are relatively safe, even for those who aren't strong swimmers. Just watch out for the sudden drop-offs that can catch you off guard. And while it may be a small bay, don't let that fool you - when the winds blow from the south, the waves can be downright dangerous. So unless you're prepared to be pummeled by the surf, it's best to stay on shore and admire the view from a safe distance.

Southern Crete boasts yet another idyllic beach that is a true paradise for beachgoers. It is advisable to bring along food and water as the beach is remote and there are no nearby amenities. If you are lucky enough to obtain permission to explore the nearby caves, you will be rewarded with a refreshing respite from the heat. The beach is ideal for snorkeling, and the water is so crystal clear that it feels like swimming in a sea of jelly. As the sun sets early, around six in the evening, the beach becomes shaded, providing a cool and comfortable atmosphere.

Nestled along a rugged coastline, lies a stunning and unspoiled beach that offers a sense of adventure and exploration. Accessible via a slightly challenging road, this hidden gem is flanked by a few unsightly waste deposits, but don't let that deter you. Alternatively, you can park your car near a quaint church, where flickering candles offer a charming welcome to Greece's rich culture. As you make your way down to the beach, you'll discover a small cave that provides some respite from the sun's rays, although it does not offer much relief from the heat. The beach is enclosed by a natural stone wall that amplifies the warmth of the sun, but the breathtaking views more than make up for this. While the marine life is not particularly diverse, you'll still be able to spot some ordinary fish and other small creatures. From a bird's eye view, this beach is a sight to behold - a true natural wonder that will leave you feeling invigorated and inspired.

The serene and beautiful beach is a perfect getaway for those seeking tranquility. The location offers a peaceful atmosphere that is ideal for relaxation and rejuvenation.

The shoreline is prone to the influence of powerful waves that often deposit a significant amount of debris along the sandy expanse.
