Useful information

During the summer there is a mini market and small cafes next to the beach with fresh seafood and traditional mezedes.


The nearby villages Harakas and Pyrgos have a supermarket that operates throughout the year.

If you are in the area, it is worth visiting the village of Paramympi, about 800 meters, the impressive waterfall of Abbas, which gives to the landscape a wild and impressive look. When it rains its waters fall from a height of 160 m forming wet smoke.

Beaches of the area:

- The main beach of the settlement

- Pahia Ammos beach

- Voidomatis beach

- Krygia Vlychada beach

The clean sea, the tranquility, the peace and quiet make the area ideal for caretta caretta to lay her eggs.

Treis ekklisies is maybe the last unspoiled paradise of Crete!

Atemberaubender Rückzugsort
Die Gastgeber Adamis und Ekaterina sind überaus sympathisch, hilfsbereit und jederzeit erreichbar, ihre Unterkunft hält, was sie verspricht. Achtung für Reisende aus der Schweiz: die Fe-Wo-App kann in der Schweiz nicht heruntergeladen und genutzt werden, deshalb ist die Kommunikation erschwert. Die Anfahrt über das Astouria-Gebirge ist schlichtweg spektakulär und atemberaubend - die Passstrasse ist in tadellosem Zustand (Achtung Steinschlag) und lädt immer wieder ein zum Fotostop. Der Ort besticht durch seine schlichte Echtheit und die schöne Einsamkeit der Strände, auch wenn die ersten drei Tage im Mai bei schönstem Wetter der Sturmwind tobte.

House with a view
Erg naar de zin gehad! Prachtige plek, maarde weg ernaar toe is wel een zaak om rekening mee te houden. Zeker als je uitstapjes wil maken Huis is basic maar schitterend gelegen heerlijk rustig!

Aussergewöhnlich toller Platz
Ich war zu Saisonbeginn Anfang April dort, wo der Ort noch im Winterschlaf war, und habe die Ruhe sehr genossen. Das Haus hat eine aussergewöhnlich schöne Lage, ist bestens ausgestattet und wird von einem wunderbaren kretischen Ehepaar vermietet. Ich wurde mit frischem Obst, Raki und Olivenöl aus deren eigenen Olivenhain empfangen und bei Fragen sofort bestens beraten. Ich war alleine dort, aber es hätten auch sechs Leute locker Platz gehabt. Die Anreise mit dem PKW ist ein bisschen Aufwand, aber das ist eben auch der Grund dafür, dass es noch ein echtes Stück wilder Süden geblieben ist. Ein schöner sauberer Strand und nette Wanderwege an der Küste entlang bieten gute Abwechslung. Fazit: Sehr empfehlenswert für Leute, die KEINEN Massentourismus suchen, sondern ein Stück "echtes Kreta" erleben oder die - ausserhalb der Hochsaison - einfach ihre Ruhe haben wollen.

Un îlot de tranquillité dans un cadre époustouflant, plages désertes et petit village avec tavernes et commerce, loin des sentiers battus et de la cohue que l'on peut trouver dans le nord de l'île. Propriétaires et habitants du village très sympathiques et accueillants. Marc et Sophie
