Tris Ekklisies

Tris Ekklisies (three churches) is a remote seaside village located 64 km south of Heraklion, in the middle of the wild and inhospitable landscape of the Asterousia Mountains. The area, one of the most remote in Crete, is difficult to access but (as you have already seen) has some amazing beaches. To reach Tris Ekklisies you drive about 10 km down a serpentine road from the village of Paranymfi.

This road leads through the mountains of Asterousia. Half a kilometer after Paranymfi, you have a breathtaking view of the Libyan Sea and Tris Ekklisies.

In summer there is a small supermarket here, now in autumn it is closed. But three times a week a vegetable truck comes down the serpentines to the beach and stands there for a while so that the few villagers can buy their vegetables. To let everyone know that the truck is there, it plays loud music, but check out the footage yourself.

In short: Tris Ekklisies is just wonderful! ❤️❤️❤️Read more
