Makrygialos - Crete (Long Beach) Part 2

A golden beach that I still vividly remember. How does it look at night?

I was very lucky because I spent two nights there, one of them I went east and the next I went west :) So now I can show you both!

But before we start, please let me show you my favorite photo from that place. It was taken on my phone and I still cannot believe that I took that shot.

Also,

(Cannot resist old doors :))

To the west:

This side has the most luxury homes, villas and hotels. On the beach, there are many villa terraces and also restaurants.

The night and stars view

One of the interesting cactus plants, I had never seen before.

And a few details outside of a home.

I visited a hotel and took some pool images :)

I wish I could be there during day time

And more pool! Can never get enough.
I saw this sign, not sure if you agree, but I did enjoy it!

I dont need therapy, I just need to go to Crete!

And now lets go to the eastern side of the village.
It was a very picturesque village, I really loved it. This is a sign that is a song lyric written with a typo that changes the phrase.

It means (Lets go to a place - but place is called love)

If it was daylight, I would have gone up the stairs.

Every door, a new opportunity to explore!

How about blue doors? Arent they impressive?
Do you see the green plastics outside? They have water and are supposed to be used by people who enter the houses, so that they wash their feet before entering!

Under the tamarisks, some lovely places for chilling have been created.

Small details make them even more impressive and homey

And some old tamarisk trees still live there, in the middle of the sea.. how lucky are they?

I hope that you enjoyed this post. As I previously mentioned:

Makrygialos has a stunning 1,200-meter-long sandy and crystal clear beach, not so deep. The beach is well-maintained and provides amenities such as sunbeds, umbrellas, nearby tavernas and watersports. The village itself has retained its traditional charm, with narrow streets, whitewashed houses, and friendly locals who welcome tourists with warm hospitality

I hope I can revisit soon - it is an 1 and a half hour drive from the place where I live in
