Rizovigio Beach near Palekastro on Crete

The area around Palekastro in the north east of Crete is blessed with a lot of beautiful beaches. Besides the well know palm beach of Vai, the Itanos Beaches and Kouremenos, there is this beach called Rizovigio Beach. Actually it's not one beach, but two. Rizovigio Beach is much more quiet and doesn't come with a lot of facilities. There are two small taverna's and one small place where you can rent a room for the night (above one of the taverna's). If you want to avoid the hype and paying for parking your car in Vai, this could be a good option.
