Experience authentic Crete in Arvi – a peaceful seaside getaway with a unique natural landscape.
Service Description
Arvi is a small, sheltered cove on the southern coastline of Crete, with a unique charm and strong local color. Built between steep cliffs and lush vegetation, it combines the power of a wild landscape with the tranquility of a beach that seems to have remained unchanged over time. The village is mainly known for its banana production, but its natural beauty and warm atmosphere make it a unique destination for a seaside getaway. As we arrive by boat, the view of the small bay with its clear, deep waters and the pebble beach evokes a sense of peace and freedom. The landscape here alternates abruptly: steep mountains rise around the coast, creating an almost theatrical setting, but at the same time welcoming and warm. Arvi offers an authentic experience of southern Crete – quiet, genuine, with nature dominating and time flowing slowly, as in the past. The island is protected by the Natura 2000 network and hosts the largest natural cedar forest of its kind in Europe. Visitors can enjoy swimming in calm, shallow waters, relax on the soft sand and enjoy the rare tranquility that the landscape offers. Chrysi is a destination that perfectly combines the sense of escape with respect for nature and the need to protect the environment. Travel time 35 minutes.
