This off-the-beaten path #beach is located on mainland Greece and is called Mylapotamos. There is a free car park at the top, where this photo was taken from. Simply descend the steps down to the beach, which has course sand. Usually the waters are quite calm and is a nice place for swimming, but on this particular day the waters were rough. There's even a little taverna at the bottom if you're hungry or thirsty! #lifeatexpedia #beaches
Beautiful area, Almirda, Crete with the bluest water and sky. Incredibly friendly people and they all have huge meals around 10 at night along the shoreline. Quaint, incredible and like something right out of a movie. Love it.
