Following the road east out of Palaiochora towards the Gulf of Selino, you will pass Camping Palaiochora. After 4 km two nice and secluded beaches appear: the westernmost portion of a broad seaside frontage that extends for 17 km.
This, the first, is situated at the mouth of the gorge of the same name, which begins 3 or so km inland at the village of Anidri (The Waterless Place). It is quite a large beach with thick sands and gorgeous turquoise waters.
The scenery, especially to the east end, is particularly characterized by large rocks that stick up from the shore. Not a trace of infrastructure is to be seen, but at least the vegetation offers some shade. Be prepared!
Beside and adjoining the beach of Anidri is this one (aka Gyaniskari or Dyaliskari): actually two, one each side of a small spit of land projecting into the sea, but both equally
Charming and idyllic. The west side is made of small pebbles, the east has a deep and pale sand. The water is clear and deep.
The area is but slightly developed: a café-canteen and a few umbrellas and sun-beds. To the east grow plentiful tamarisks which shed a natural shadow and give relief from the hot suns of South Crete.
Here nudism is tolerated, especially on the eastern side.

The Rural Greece is an online portal that connects travellers with unique destinations and local businesses in the countryside, offering authentic experiences through activities that highlight nature, traditions and culture.
For the Rural Greece accessibility is fundamental to enhancing an inclusive tourism experience. Following the principles of inclusion and equality, the epaithros Rural Tourism Network and its member businesses are constantly working to enhance the tourism services provided, ensuring that all visitors have the opportunity to experience the authentic beauty of the Greek countryside.
Sustainability in tourism refers to a way of developing tourism that respects and protects the environment while strengthening the local economy and preserving cultural traditions. The aim of sustainable tourism is to provide unique and authentic experiences for visitors without harming the natural and social environment, while ensuring that local communities benefit from tourism activity.
This type of tourism is based on three pillars:
With sustainable tourism, visitors can have authentic experiences, knowing that the impact of tourism on the region is positive and lasting for future generations.
For Rural Greece, localism is one of the most important factors for the development of sustainable tourism, as it promotes a strong link between the tourism product and the local society, economy and culture. Through localism, visitors get the opportunity to explore authentic elements of the destination, such as local products, traditions and culture. This not only boosts the local economy, but also helps to sustain and strengthen local businesses, creating new jobs and supporting the development of local communities.
Furthermore, localism contributes to the sustainability of the tourism sector, as it reduces the use of resources from other regions and encourages the use of local goods and services, reducing the ecological footprint of tourism activities. Thus, integrating localism into tourism practices enhances sustainability awareness, both among visitors and local businesses, creating a more responsible and sustainable tourism destination.
