Hiliaderfia beaches

Hiliaderfia beaches

Located at the foot of Trahili Cape, in the southeastern region of the enchanting island of Koufonissi, lies the sandy bay of Chiliaderfia. The area is distinguished by its characteristic white-hued rocks, which in ancient times led to the island being named Lefki, meaning white. A freshwater spring can be found on the western side of the beach, which concludes with a steep cliff, towering 100m high.

Years ago, Chiliaderfia and the nearby beaches of Halasma served as an anchoring spot for a week-long visit from Princess Diana and Prince Charles. The British Navy had restricted access to incoming boats, allowing the royal couple to enjoy their seclusion in this paradise.

In the local Cretan dialect, Hiliaderfia refers to cliffs that serve as nesting grounds for Bonelli’s eagles.
