Chania old town. The Venetian harbour, the lighthouse at the end of the breakwater and the lanes behind the waterfront. Park outside the old town and walk in; the centre is mostly pedestrian. Balos. A shallow lagoon on the Gramvousa peninsula in the far north-west. You can reach it by boat from Kissamos port, or drive the last stretch on a rough dirt road and walk down. Take water, a hat and good shoes. Elafonisi. Known for its pale pink sand and shallow water, in the south-west corner of the island. It is a protected area, so please do not take any sand or shells. From here it is a long drive, so plan a full day. Both beaches get very busy in July and August. Arriving early in the morning makes a real difference.
