Crete is a Greek island, that has so much to offer. Whether you’re in Crete to relax on the Elafonisi shoreline, see the Palace of Knossos or simply spend your holiday taverna hopping, make sure to carve out time to visit the many beautiful villages in Crete.
Sfinari is located on the west coast of the island, and has one advantage: even in the middle of August, it’s not overcrowded like the rest of the island.
Why? Because it’s rocky and difficult to access. I guess most people prefer sandy beaches and don’t want to spend too much time to reach them.
Sfinari is still busy during lunch or dinner time, as it is known to serve the best fresh fish on the island.
And while you are savouring one of the delicious seafood or fishplates you can order, you will be able to watch one of the best sunsets of the Mediterranean sea.
