• Frangokastello

A small town with a Venetian fortress overlooking a long stretch of pebbled and sand lovely beach, 27 km west of Plakias, and 50 km southwest of Rethymno. The town and beaches are considered off the regular tourist’ route, with limited beach facilities and few good local restaurants. Limited number of umbrella beach chairs are available for rent. Coming from the north coast, the route goes through the spectacular Imbros gorge and beautiful mountain scenery. Near town, to the east and west, small stretches of completely undeveloped sandy beaches are worth visiting.
