Part Eight: Ierapetra & Chrissi Island
51. Ierapetra Beach
Ierapetra town
Pleasant grey-pebble beaches in the town of Ierapetra, the southernmost town in Europe, which is not yet entirely spoiled by mass tourism; beautiful sunsets at the seafront tavernas
8/10
52. Belegrina Beach
North coast of the Chrissi Island, north of the pier
An uninhabited island south of Crete, Africa as close as Athens; a rare forest of juniperus macrocarpa, with dead trunks of grotesque shapes dotted on the dunes of white sand; diverse colour combinations of the sand, rocks and water; tiny sea shells; paradise on earth, with daytrippers as the only downside
