About Vatalos beaches
Vatalos is located 80km southeast of Chania, 1.5km west of the famous beach of Fragokastelo beach. Most Fragokastelo hotels and rooms to let are located in the area of Vatalos, which is a flat area with fertile fields and amazing views of the south slopes of the White Mountains. In winter the area turns into a very important wetland, starting from the castle and extending to the west for about 2km.
There are several coves at Vatalos with peaceful sandy beaches, with pebbles and rocks in places. Starting from the fortress, you meet the beaches of Iligas, Hodros Volakas, Mavro Nero and, last, Vatalos. Most visitors stay in the area but prefer to go swimming in the shallow and busy sandy Fragokastelo beach. However, Vatalos beaches are ideal for snorkelling and quiet holidays. The Fragokastelo area is renowned for its medieval castle, the exotic beach and the legendary ghosts of Drosoulites.
