Here, you'll find the significant Minoan settlement of Gournia.

The area earned its name from the golden coarse sand that stretches along its lengthy coastal front, ‘Pachia Ammos’ meaning ‘coarse sand’ in Greek.

After basking in the sun and enjoying the sea, you can savour delightful appetizers at the local tavernas in the area.
