| Description |
Frangokastello is located along the coast on
an arid plain with a beautiful mountain background. |
|
| Getting there |
A good but winding road takes you over the
mountains from the North coast. Public transport is very limited. |
| Atmosphere |
Quiet place but lacking in atmosphere. Frangokastello
didn't exist until a few years ago (apart from the castle
and the ruins of a monastery) and all the buildings are new. |
|
| Accommodation |
Plenty of rooms, studios and apartments. |
| Restaurants |
A few restaurants, some of them excellent. |
| Shopping |
Three mini markets cater to everyday needs. |
| Nightlife |
Non-existent |
| Beach |
Superb sandy beaches. The main beach next to
the castle can get a little crowded but there are some other
beautiful and quiet sandy beaches within walking distance.
Because of its extremely shallow water the main beach is the
best anywhere in West Crete if you have small children. |
