Agia Roumeli, Crete South coast
Agia Roumeli serves as the reloading point for hikers of the Samaria Gorge. There are several refreshment locations for the tired wayfarer and ferry connections to Sougia in the West and Chora Sfakion in the East. The surrounding area is spectacular. The mountains rise up steeply. With good eyesight it is possible to see a small Venetian ruined fort.
The water is crystal clear and very refreshing after a hike. There is no shade on the black beach, just expensive sun loungers and sunshades.
I urge you not to choose the "short" visit to the Samaria Gorge, as you need time to experience the amazing scenery.
