Kolokitha Beach

Highlight (Segment) • Beach

In the first part a dusty track, which is heavily frequented by motorists. From the chapel overcrowded by pedestrians on the way to a narrow, beached and party-filled beach.

Elounda Canal

Highlight • Bridge

Artificial connection, so that the boats no longer had to drive outside.
Today rather used as a mooring.
