CRETE/ The Red Beach
A Journey Beyond Ordinary
Tired of the same old "beautiful people" and crowded tourist hotspots? If you crave a different kind of paradise, one where you can share your lunch with some unique guests, then the Red Beach is your hidden haven.
To reach this secluded gem, you'll embark on an adventure along a path known locally as the "goat's path," a route that starts in the once-thriving hippy enclave of Matala village. But be warned, this journey is not for the faint of heart. The path carves its way through rugged terrain, and only the intrepid and fit should attempt it.
However, the rewards for your effort are beyond compare. As you venture toward the Red Beach, you'll discover a sanctuary that's anything but ordinary. Here, the extraordinary is the everyday norm. You'll find yourself sharing a meal with a most unusual group of locals - goats who would be overjoyed to help themselves to your rucksack's contents. It's a cherished tradition, a unique bond formed between travelers and their horned lunch buddies.
The Red Beach is a place where the sunsets are as vibrant as the sand, and the sea sings stories of ancient adventures. It's a place where relaxation and exploration entwine, where solitude and companionship coexist in perfect harmony.
So, if you're seeking a destination that defies the norm, where the journey is as remarkable as the destination itself, set your sights on the Red Beach. It's more than just a place; it's a story waiting to be written by those who dare to take the path less traveled.
