Seitan Limania Beach

This picture-perfect beach is a must-see in northwestern Crete, known for its clear waters and the rocky landscapes that surround it. Here, you can relax by the shore and take in the scenic views, swim in the turquoise waters, canyon down the cliffs, or even sail the area on a boat tour to discover other gorgeous beaches. The beach gets busy during summer—reach early to snag a parking spot by the church of Agios Spyridon before hiking down to the beach. The path down is a bit steep, slippery and rocky, so wear a comfortable pair of shoes.
