There are several hotels, mostly luxurious, all-inclusive options, spread across the hills, and the area is ideal if you want to enjoy plenty of peace and quiet yet enjoy all the nightlife and amenities of a big resort. This rugged stretch of coast is dramatically beautiful, and you’ll find lots of beaches and little coves.

Beaches
Anissaras is a rugged cape, which is pocked with lots of charming little coves and beaches. Many of the hotels enjoy blissful waterfront settings, and boast their own private beaches. One of the loveliest beaches is Sarandaris Cape beach, which is accessed via a steep staircase down the cliff, and has lots of facilities, including sun loungers and parasols for rent. Beyond it is a naturist beach, one of few to be found on the north coast of Crete. The best beach for families is Sarandaris, which has golden sand, shallow waters, sun beds for rent and a small beach bar. Giofyri is one of the most popular beaches with locals, thanks to its white sands and good facilities.
