Vai Beach on the eastern tip of Crete is home to one of the largest natural palm forests in Europe, a dense grove of the native Cretan date palm, Phoenix theophrasti, which lends the shoreline an almost tropical atmosphere. The crescent-shaped bay offers crystal-clear turquoise waters and golden sand, making it one of the most iconic and visited beaches on the island. Its unique ecosystem is a protected natural monument, so visitors are asked to respect the fragile environment that has evolved here over centuries.
