Beaches in Palekastro

Cavo sidero beach, East CreteSaint Isidore or Cavo Sidero is located at the northeasternmost tip of Crete, 34km east of Sitia, 16 km from Palekastro, and 99km east of Agios Nikolaos. It is situated at the northernmost point of Cape Sidero, near the Military Naval Station in Kyriamadi. The surrounding area is characterized by a unique landscape of wild beauty, which was shaped by the effect of salt and winds.

The secret beach of Saint Isidore or Cavo Sidero is located near the homonym church, which gives its name to the Cape Sidero. It is a small beach with sand and some rocks. It is a natural harbor, since it faces South and is protected by large rocks that create a narrow strip of sea. The beach is completely unknown and secluded. It is ideal for isolation and for fishing as the area is rich in fish. Indeed, the locals say that the seabed of the area reminds of an aquarium, thus it is worth snorkeling here.

You can combine a visit in Saint Isidore with a daily excursion in Vai palm grove and Toplou Monastery.
