Agiofarago exotic beach, Heraklion - Crete island | Greece, land of myths (Kali Limenes)
The beach of Agiofarago is located about 80km south of Heraklion city, at the exit of the Gorge Agiofarago. To get there you must either cross the gorge, by easy hiking of about 25-50’, or catch a boat from Matala, Agia Galini, Kokkinos Pirgos or Kali Limenes. We definitely recommend the first option, as the route within the vertical walls of the gorge is breathtaking. On the way you will see the large caves were some hermits from Odigitria monastery still live and the chapel of St. Anthony with a small well with brackish water. The beach at the exit of the gorge is stunning, with fine pebbles and clear blue water, which is usually calm. West of the beach a beautiful rocky arch is formed, beneath which you can swim. Vertical cliffs surround the beach. Naturiism should be avoided here, as the wider area is one of the most religious places of Crete.
If you have your sneakers with you, in the afternoon you should climb the cliffs on the east and reach the top. The view from there is fantastic. If you walk southeast you will meet a hidden saltish lake, called Vourvoulitis, surrounded by vertical cliffs. It is an open sinkhole communicating with the open sea by an undersea passage. You can descend to the lake, but it’s extremely dangerous.
ACCESS
If you want to get here from Heraklion, you should drive the road to Sivas village and then to Odigitria Monastery. From Odigitria you should take the dirt track heading to church of Saint Anthony (the road on the right hand heads to Vathi) After 4km you have to turn right (there is a road sign to Agiofarago) and continue till you reach no end, in a small plateau used for parking. Do not leave your car under any tree for shade if you don't want to see it ruined by goats, that get on the car roof to eat leafs from the tree. Then walk through the gorge for half an hour until you reach the sea. On the way to the beach, you'll meet the small church of Saint Anthony and the cave of Goumenospilios.
If you come by boat, you can visit the rocky islet just opposite Agiofarago, that is called Papadoplaka with some small ponds with clear sea salt, usually gathered by the locals.
Ayiofarango (Aghiofaraggo, Agiofarago, Ayiofaraggo) (The gorge of the Saints):
The pebbly beach is accessed on foot through the gorge or by boat from Kaloi limenes port.
An excellent beach protected from the wind but with no facilities. The beach is occasionally clothing optional.
Even if you wish to find spirituality, climb some steep rocks or simply enjoy nature, then you found the right place!
Southern of Heraklion Prefecture, is one of the most imposing, easy-to-access gorges that offers something more than the joy of trekking inluding the uniqueness and beauty of Cretan land and nature. The approximately 30 minutes route through the gorge will lead you to one of the most beautiful beaches of Crete of crystal clear water, surrounded by breathtaking rocks.
Once upon a time, Agiofaraggo was the home of hermits who alone enjoyed this little heaven on earth. As time passed, Agiofaraggo became a favorite destination of locals. Nowadays, it is usually enjoyed by all kinds of people, especially during the hot summer months.
Kaloi Limenes is a pebbly beach preferred by the locals.
When the wind gets too strong, then Kaloi Limenes beach is the only solution for calmer swimming.

Agiofarago Gorge
Agiofarago Gorge (meaning Gorge of Saints) is located in south of Odigitria Monastery and has been shaped near the beds of two streams.The gorge is bounded by rising huge vertical rocks at its right and left sides, where there are many caves. Agiofarago is very scenic and picturesque, accessed only on foot. The place is isolated, wild and rugged. All this with the fact that it is too far from populated areas made Agiofarago the first center of ascetic life not only of the region but of the whole Crete. #DronePilotUK #Phantom4PRO #Pfco #Crete

Πρόκειται για ένα μικρό τουριστικό θέρετρο, το οποίο απέχει γύρω στα 75 χλμ. από το Ηράκλειο και λίγα χιλιόμετρα από τους Καλούς Λιμένες, στη θέση που βρισκόταν η αρχαία Λασαία, ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα λιμάνια της Γόρτυνας. Στο Χρυσόστομο θα βρείτε κάποια ενοικιαζόμενα δωμάτια και ταβέρνες. Η παραλία μπροστά από τον οικισμό έχει ψιλό βότσαλο και καθαρά νερά, ενώ δεν επηρεάζεται από τους ισχυρούς ανέμους που πνέουν στην περιοχή.Αν βρεθείτε στον Χρυσόστομο, μπορείτε να επισκεφθείτε τα ερείπια της παλαιοχριστιανικής εκκλησίας του Αγίου Ιωάννη του Χρυσόστομου, που σώζονται σήμερα και στην οποία οφείλει το όνομά του ο οικισμός.Δίπλα στον Χρυσόστομο, στα ανατολικά, βρίσκεται η παραλία Μάχα. Πρόκειται για μια μη οργανωμένη μικρή παραλία με ψιλό βότσαλο. Εκεί θα βρείτε μόνο μια ταβέρνα και κάποια ενοικιαζόμενα δωμάτια.
Συνεχίζοντας την πορεία στις παραλίες των Δυτικών Αστερούσιων, ανατολικότερα συναντάμε την παραλία Πλατιά Περάματα και τον ομώνυμο οικισμό με το μικρό λιμανάκι.
