(723 00) Palaikastron -

A wild and very secluded pebble beach with crystal-clear water, far from any tourists. Access to the sea is easy, and it's well-suited for spearfishing and as a starting point for hikes. Early and long sun, no shade, no nets, no trash – please take care. Getting there, and especially getting back, requires a 4x4 vehicle with good ground clearance. The challenging sections are mostly rocky, so they're manageable even after rain. One spot (after the second goat farm) is quite narrow and requires attention. Caution: Vehicles wider than a panel van and heavier than 4.2 tons are really tricky. Further down, there are steeper sections with articulation. A 6m Sprinter AWD 3.5t can manage without any problems. Do not approach via Agkathia: the road is closed; it's better to turn off the Lagkada-Palekastro connecting road. A truly special place where the journey is part of the experience. Due to the challenging nature of the journey, it's best to plan for 2 days and not underestimate it.
