The Best Attractions In Kandanos

1. Kandanos War Memorial Kandanos
The Razing of Kandanos or the Holocaust of Kandanos occurred with the complete destruction of the village of Kandanos in Western Crete and the killing of about 180 of its inhabitants on 3 June 1941 by German occupying forces during World War II.It was ordered by Generaloberst Kurt Student in reprisal for the participation of the local population in the Battle of Crete that had held advancing German soldiers for two days. The destruction constituted one of the most atrocious war crimes committed during the occupation of Crete by Axis forces in World War II.

2. Lake Kournas Kournas
Lake Kournas is a lake on the island of Crete, Greece, near the village of Kournas. It is in the Apokoronas municipality of Chania regional unit close to the border with Rethymno regional unit, 47 km from the town of Chania. Kournas is a fairly large village perched on a hill overlooking the lake. Crete's only freshwater lake, Lake Kournas, is relatively large, with a perimeter of 3.5 km. Although almost all touristic leaflets say that it is possible to walk around the lake, that is not true. At least not at the end of the rain season . There is a nature preserve on the Southwest of the lake. But there is a rustic road from the North of the lake to the Hills on the West of the lake too. The lake used to be called 'Korisia' after ancient 'Korion', a city thought to be in the area with a tem...

5. Samaria Gorge National Park Sfakia
The Samariá Gorge is a National Park of Greece since 1962 on the island of Crete – a major tourist attraction of the island – and a World's Biosphere Reserve. The gorge is in southwest Crete in the regional unit of Chania. It was created by a small river running between the White Mountains and Mt. Volakias. There are a number of other gorges in the White Mountains. While some say that the gorge is 18 km long, this distance refers to the distance between the settlement of Omalos on the northern side of the plateau and the village of Agia Roumeli. In fact, the gorge is 16 km long, starting at an altitude of 1,250 m at the northern entrance, and ending at the shores of the Libyan Sea in Agia Roumeli.

My Trip To Kedrodasos Beach - Crete ✔

➤ “Kedrodasos (i.e. cedar forest) is an amazing beach, located 76km southwest of Chania and 1km east of the famous Elafonissi lagoon. The Kedrodasos beach is filled with juniper trees (mistakenly confused with cedars) and sanddunes, reminding of tropical Lebanese beaches. These are the small twisted junipers (juniper species are Juniperus oxycedrus subsp. macrocarpa and Juniperus phoenicea). If you ever visit the beach, you should note that the trees are very fragile and need respect.
The cedar grove covers a big area of about 110 acres and is a magnificent place. It is a wonderful choice for camping and a favorite beach for naturists. It is a very nice beach with white sand and some smooth and flat rocks in places. Fortunately, there are no facilities nearby, making this secluded beach, one of the latest untouched paradises in Europe. Moreover, since the beach is secluded, you should keep it clean and not littered.”

Crete | The El Greco Museum in Fodele

Crete | The El Greco Museum in Fodele. For a particularly rewarding and intimate experience, take the bus or drive from Heraklion to the tiny village of Fodele, about half an hour's ride westwards.
After leaving the main motorway at the sign, a narrow and winding lane runs through the hills that leads you to Fodele, the birthplace of one of the greatest painters of all time -- El Greco.
El Greco was born in the late 15th century as Domenikos Theotokopoulos. You can still see the tiny church where he must have gone as a child, before growing up and moving to Italy and Spain where he painted his masterpieces.
Some reproductions of these masterpieces, lit up the back and are on display at the El Greco Museum at the far end of Fodele. The humble farmhouse that serves as the museum lies among the quiet woods and sheep, enhancing the spiritual magic within.
