Kalo Horafi beach is nestled in the scenic area of Sises, Crete, offering a serene and secluded beach experience. It is characterized by the rugged Cretan landscape, with the towering Talean mountains and verdant ravines nearby. The beach itself is pebbly and rarely crowded, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and enjoying the natural beauty of Crete. A short dirt track leads to the beach, which faces west and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Additionally, there is a smaller pebbly beach, Vrahi, perfect for snorkeling on calm days.
The area is historically significant as the former site of the 317 Agii Pateres Pelekida monastery, although only a newer chapel remains today. Visitors can explore nearby attractions like the Vosako monastery, accessible via a scenic hike through the Vossako ravine.
Kalo Horafi is a haven for those seeking tranquility and a connection with nature, away from the bustling tourist spots.
