South of Crete in the Libyan Sea you will find a small, dreamlike, exotic island where everyone and everything is Zen!

If all you are looking for this year is tranquility, minimalism and closeness to the magic of nature then start searching for ferry routes from Athens to Chania, then go to the Center of Sfakia and get on the boat to Gavdos. Book cheap ferry tickets to Gavdos online with Just Ferry. 

Where should you go swimming?

• Trypiti: The number one beach of the island with its beautiful blue-green waters and an enormous chair that you must have seen in photos before. There are formed three natural arches called “Kamarelles”. It is the southernmost point of Greece and Europe in general.
• Sarakiniko: One of the few beaches on the island where you can find “supplies.” Small tavernas where you can eat right where the waves crash.
• Ai Giannis: One of the busiest beaches of the island with cedar and pine trees running down the beach.
• Potamos: Access might not be that easy, but on this beach you can have a spa treatment with the clay you will see springing out of the earth.
• Korfos: One of the most well-organized beaches of the island with pebbles and crystal-clear waters.
