Crete is the largest Greek island and a magnet for sun worshippers. But we set out to find something special – including a place hardly anyone knows.
1. Seitan Limania – The Zigzag Bay
Located near Chania, a steep path leads down to this narrow, turquoise bay.
-
Warning: The goats on the beach love your food!
-
Photo potential: The bright sandy bottom practically glows in the water. Perfect for clear, bright underwater shots.
2. Elafonisi – The Pink Beach
Known for its slightly reddish sand. Unfortunately often very windy, which makes lying on the beach difficult – so jump into the water!
-
Underwater: This place teems with small coral rocks and colorful fish. Grab your Domemare and explore the rocks away from the crowds.
3. Balos & The Secret Spot
Balos is famous for its lagoon. But the real treasure lies on the way there.
-
The insider tip: On the bumpy road to the Balos lagoon (we marked the spot on the map), a small path leads down to an old quarry.
-
What to expect: No sunbathing lawn, but an incredible underwater world. Rectangular-cut rocks underwater form an almost ancient backdrop. We were completely alone here. A must for anyone looking for unique underwater shots!
Travel hack: Always pack your Domemare securely in the included foam modules when traveling on Crete’s bumpy roads.
