Tripiti, Beach on the western coast of Crete, Greece

The beach of Tripiti extends along the Aegean Sea with white pebbles and limestone cliffs forming a distinctive coastal landscape.

Throughout centuries, this natural harbor served as an essential anchoring point for local fishing vessels traversing the western Cretan coastline.

Local families preserve their heritage by hosting traditional festivals on the beach during summer celebrations of patron saints.

Visitors can access the beach via a marked path that begins at the main parking area located 500 meters from the shore.

A natural rock arch at the southern end of the beach frames the sunset during summer months, creating a distinct geological formation.

Address: Hora Sfakion 730 11, Greece

Off-the-beaten-track sites in Crete: Venetian fortresses, limestone gorges, and mountain villages

26 elements

This selection highlights Crete locations away from common routes. It includes historic sites such as the Venetian fortress of Spinalonga, occupied by a leper colony until 1957, and the ruins of the Minoan palace of Kato Zakros on the eastern coast. Notable geological formations include the Kourtaliotiko gorges with 600-meter limestone walls, the Aradena bridge suspended 138 meters above the void, and the Dikteon cave, extending over two kilometers into Mount Dikte. Nature enthusiasts can explore the small bay of Seitan Limania between its white cliffs, the Argiroupoli springs bursting amidst Roman ruins, or take trails through the Theriso gorges. These destinations offer a different view of Crete, away from the tourist crowds along the northern coastline.
