This off-the-beaten path #beach is located on mainland Greece and is called Mylapotamos. There is a free car park at the top, where this photo was taken from. Simply descend the steps down to the beach, which has course sand. Usually the waters are quite calm and is a nice place for swimming, but on this particular day the waters were rough. There's even a little taverna at the bottom if you're hungry or thirsty! #lifeatexpedia #beaches
Very cool place to take some pictures and see the sunset, carefully with the rocks #bvscrete #crete #Greece #amazing #dream #sunset #troveon
Beautiful Preveli Beach is located at the edge of Kourtaliotikos Gorge near Plakias at the South Coast of Crete, Greece. We walked down the steep path from Preveli Monastery (which is also worth a visit ⛪️) with this magnificent view 🌴 The other way to reach the beach is by boat. You can walk into the palm grove on both sides of the river. #green
