The sand adds a sea break to an outing that may otherwise center on Fodele village and its El Greco museum. Beach and village are separate places with different purposes, which makes the contrast part of the day. The shore lies farther west than the Agia Pelagia coves and can stand as its own coastal destination.
Useful to know
Check sea conditions and avoid assuming village and beach are at the same point.
