Vai Palm Beach
Vai joins a beach with a palm grove on Crete’s far eastern coast. The distance from central Crete makes it a deliberate coastal outing rather than a brief detour.
Why go
The palms immediately behind the shore make Vai unlike many of Crete’s rocky or open-sand beaches. It is most rewarding when you have time to look beyond the water and take in the grove as part of the landscape. Plan the drive carefully from Sitia or farther west.
What to look for
Palm grove adjoining the beach
Eastern Cretan coastal setting
Sand and sea backed by dense trees
Useful to know
Check travel time from your base before making this an outing.
Treat the grove and shore as one landscape stop.
