Treis ekklisies

Treis Ekklisies is a small seaside settlement located 64 km south of Heraklion, in the heart of the wild and barren landscape of Asterousia range. Ever since the asphalted snaky road was constructed from the village of Paranymfi, the settlement is the fastest exit on the southern coastline of Crete starting from Heraklion. The wider area is one of the most isolated in Crete and hosts some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, many of which are only accessible by boat. However, most visitors swim at the central beach of the settlement, which is quite long and has coarse sand and deep water. The beach is not particularly organized, but in recent years there are rooms for rent, cafes and taverns.
