Sunsets & beach walks in Frangokastello

As I knew this place as a perfect stop to enjoy from peace and beach walks, I spent in Frangokastello many days again. Last year I learned to know an extremely friendly (so Greek!) family in there and I was happy to meet them again. Frangokastello is about 70 km from Chania in the south coast.

Palms, fortress, mountain and snow

Around Frangokastello there are many beautiful hikings to do next to the sea or the gorges in the area (Aradena, Asfendou, Imbros and Kallikratis), I guess even in the hot season it will not be crowded.

What a nice spot to find shade in summer!

Lemonade tree? :)

 

Beautiful coastline after Orthi Ammos Beach

Ops, this road gets more narrow...

I found a "beach flower" and made it blossom again

After Frangokastello I wanted to go back to Aradena, to walk it totally, since last year I only saw it partly, but I got invitation to get back to Frangokastello to have Christmas meal in 25.12. So next update is about this Amazing Aradena  (by clicking the link you can read the amazing story about the village history!!!!) and Christmas eve (24.12) went there  up in the 700 meters altitude, before getting back to Frangokastello..

I hope you all had peaceful Christmas days and we are wishing you magical year 2015!
