Seitan Limania is a narrow, jaw-dropping cove on the Akrotiri peninsula where a sliver of pebble beach meets impossibly blue water between sheer cliffs. It is small, wild and unforgettable — the reward for a steep scramble down the rock.
How to get there
About 20 km (30 minutes) from Chania town on Akrotiri, past the airport. Park at the top of the cliff and descend a steep, rocky 10–15 minute path — sturdy shoes are essential and it is not suitable for those with mobility issues.
