Small coastal village on Crete with sandy beaches, a palm-lined promenade, fishing boats, and low-rise tavernas — good for shoreline compositions, sunset skies, and relaxed street scenes. Best at sunrise for calm water or golden-hour sunset from the western promenade. Easy to reach by car; parking limited near the center in high season. No entry fees; casual dress respectful in tavernas. Peak summer is crowded—visit shoulder months (Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct) for better light and fewer tourists.
