The coasts of Crete are diverse, indented and of a large variety of forms with dozens of bays, capes and peninsulas, both large and small. The northern shores are an ideal place for summer holidays, swimming and water sports. The southern coasts, which are more isolated, have a beauty all their own to offer those who are seeking a quite life close to nature.
