The town took its name 'Red Tower' after a tower that was built here in the middle-ages from red clay. It is no longer here. Today it is still a sleepy fishing village with a Cretan way of life. It Only 10 kms from historical sites of Festos and Gortys, close to Agia Triada Minoan ruins and 70km from Heraklion City To make your way to this beach, drive down the lush Messara valley to Timbaki and be careful to take signs to Kokkinos Pirgos. There is a brand new rock and cement harbour here, I guess the town is not very pretty, but the beach is gorgeous. As you look out over the Libyan Sea, you can see two islands to the south. These are called Paksimadia, which means 'bread rolls' such a characteristic name for these islands.
