Our country is full of fabulous landscapes and natural pools, each offering a unique experience.
Giola, a natural pool of crystal clear water on the seashore, enchants visitors with its “otherworldly” appearance. Formed over the centuries by the waves and surrounded by rocks, it looks like an oasis with green waters that reach a depth of 3 meters. A place ideal for diving, Giola, in addition to its beauty, is also famous for the legends surrounding it. According to mythology, Zeus created the “pool” in which Aphrodite could swim, or that it is the “all-seeing eye” of Zeus, with which he watched his lover.
In Chania (Crete), the Seitan ports, also known as the “Cursed Ports”, hide exotic beauty. A strip of sea intrudes between secluded rocky slopes, forming a series of bays. One of them has a hidden beach with sand and clear blue water. Seitan Limania Beach, surrounded by wild rocks that provide protection from the winds, is ideal for rest and relaxation.
Gala Koufonisia beach stands out for its indescribable beauty. A rock adjoins the beach, forming a small bay with white sand. The milky color of the water, from which it got its name, is due to the filtration of water through the rocks. While swimming, you can explore the caves of Xylobatis and the “Eye of the Devil”.
The baths of Sarakiniko in Milos are astounding. Enormous white rocks formed by salt water rise above the sea, creating a lunar landscape of unique beauty. The water washes over volcanic rocks that have been formed by wind and waves for thousands of years, creating one of the most unique beaches in the world. Ideal for relaxing in nature and diving in crystal clear waters, Sarakiniko will give you an unforgettable experience.
