Skaria beaches

Skaria beaches

To the east of Hiona’s primary beach, you’ll find numerous tiny inlets where you can swim in solitude and without clothing. The first sandy coast, known as Bondalaki, is arguably the most stunning. If you continue eastward along a rough dirt road towards Cape Plaka, you’ll soon encounter a series of pebbled inlets set against an uncanny landscape of chasms and rugged mountains. The final inlet, Skaria, is Crete’s furthest eastern beach, significantly impacted by sea currents, resulting in an unfortunate amount of litter. The beach before this, Pilos, is set in clay terrain and is the perfect spot for privacy.
