Hiking
Definitely not a beach for package tourists. To get there you have to cross the Asterousia mountain range in the south of Crete - and that means gravel roads and serpentines without guard rails - 10 km long and around 1000 meters in altitude, first up and then down again (the way back is the same). We didn't even see the ubiquitous jeep safaris there.
A four-by-four is highly recommended. You will be rewarded with absolute peace and quiet and there is even a tavern not too far away.
