Walking from Plakias to Souda (South Crete, Greece)
We spent some time in the charming coastal village of Plakias last year in October. It has some great beaches nearby, both sand and pebbles, and is close to a lot of sight-seeing worthy villages and gorges.
As a warm-up we walked to Souda. Not Souda close to Chania of course, but a small beach with a restaurant and a bar at about an hour walking.
It's an easy walk along the coast with some beautiful sights.
If you look close enough you will find Foteinari beach. The entrance to this secluded pebble beach is a bit hidden away, but it's a great spot and a lovely place to snorkel in the crystal clear waters. Fish all around!
Full disclaimer: we went to that beach on another day, but it felt rig...

Yes it's true. We did another bike trip. This time to the picturesque Kardamyli and Foneas Beach for a quick getaway filled with colorful views and, of course, crystal-clear waters. We took the main road from Stoupa to Kardamyli and parked our bikes in the center. Time for some coffee and a late breakfast. Next, we went to see Belogianni beach and Mourtzinos Tower. After exploring some of the s...

Beautiful Hike to Tranquil Proastio from Stoupa (Greece)

An unexpected beautiful hike from the main road, across the gorgeous hills of Proastio. We didn't expect to find that old fountain on the way back, which was a nice surprise. The trail seemed a bit overgrown, making it challenging, but doable. It is a pity that we can't record the scent of all the mountain herbs... The views over Stoupa, the Mediterranean Sea and of course the quiet and authent...

We Walked to Balos Beach (Crete, Greece)

Balos Beach is a gorgeous place on Crete with crystal clear water that, due to it's unique location is very calm. Every side of the beach is different, from sand to rocks, and the slow slope makes it very accessible. Balos is at the utmost north-western side of the island. You can reach Balos by boat, which seems to be the easiest method, by car, or on foot. Even if you go there by car, you sti...
