Visit the only palmforest in Europe with its clean waters and beautiful beach (Blue Flag). It is situated on the northern edge of the region on the headland of Sidero.
Its beauty is unique in Crete.
The palm trees grow naturally here and their fronds cover the banks of the small stream that leads to the sea, and its surrounding area.
Quite apart from its beauty, Vai is also of significant ecological worth.
The wetlands created between the edge of the palmforest and the beach are home to a wide variety of birdlife and the ocean is teaming with sea creatures.
