Fresh springs, absolute solitude
Glyka Nera (Sweet Waters)
Γλυκά Νερά
Chania, Crete · Hikers
📍 75km + boat from Chania
Fresh mountain springs emerge from the cliffs directly onto this pebble beach. Accessible only by boat or a 90-minute coastal hike. The remoteness is the entire point.
🔎 Local Tip
Take the boat there and hike back. The coastal path to Sfakia is worth the two hours it takes.
