Find out moreFrangokastello is a small seaside village with a dramatic Venetian fortress set against clear-as-they-come waters and rugged Cretan hills. Its wide sandy beach is ideal for families, while local tavernas dish up unfussy seafood. Quiet and atmospheric, it’s a rewarding stop for those after plenty of coastal charm without the crowds.

Frangokastello’s beach is a beauty – a wide stretch of soft sand lapped by shallow waters. It’s perfect for pint-sized paddlers and anyone who fancies a lazy and peaceful swim. Sunloungers dot the shoreline, without making it feel overcrowded, keeping its atmosphere low-key.
The village’s namesake fortress looms dramatically above the sea, built by Venetians in the 14th century to guard against pirates. It’s worth a wander, especially at sunset when the walls glow golden. Local lore tells of ghostly soldiers – the Drosoulites – who march each May, adding an eerie twist to the scenery.
Frangokastello, Crete (Chania Area)
Just east of Frangokastello, you’ll stumble upon Orthi Ammos beach, famous for its soft dunes and clear shallows. It’s reached by a short walk, which helps keep crowds away. With no big resorts in sight, it feels wild, natural and wonderfully unspoiled – a true hidden gem.
Crete (Chania Area)
One of the oldest olive trees in the world – and a protected natural monument – is about 15 minutes from Kolymbari. It’s part of a mill and old villa, so there’s more to see than you’d think. The age of the tree hasn’t been determined, but the walls and stones of the mill date back to 1850.
Crete (Chania Area)
Rides and slides for the whole family? Tick! Aqua Creta Limnoupolis Waterpark has everything you could want in an aquatic day out – a massive central pool, snack bars, lazy rivers, freefall rides, and plenty of water slides. If you’re feeling less adventurous, there are football fields and children’s playgrounds.
