Crete is the largest island of Greece and its coastline of 1,046 m (650 miles) provides hundreds of beautiful beaches. Located between the southern side of the Aegean Sea and the northern side of the Libyan Sea, Crete gets very popular in summer due to the gorgeous beaches, the traditional lifestyle of the locals and the beautiful nature. 
Crete is considered to have some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece and someone can swim almost everywhere.

The part of Crete with the best beaches is definitely Chania. One of the most exotic sandy beaches of Crete is Balos, a wonderful place in Chania with crystal Caribbean-like water. This place amazes visitors with stunning natural beauty. Another of the most beautiful beaches of Crete is the exotic Elafonissi in Chania, on the westernmost spot of Crete, as well as the long, sandy beach of Falassarna. Finding a perfect beach is not a problem for visitors, as there are nice clean beaches in Crete all around the island. Some Crete beaches are organized and others are secluded, but all are very clean with crystal waters.

Occasionally in August, strong winds blow on the northern side of Crete creating large waves. These days the beaches are not appropriate for swimming except for skilled swimmers. Beaches on the southern side of Crete are less windy but sometimes they can also be affected.
