Makry gialos is a hidden gem and has one of the best beaches at this end of Crete, with tavernas and sand which shelves to gently that you begin to think you are going to walk the 320km to Africa.
The name Makrys Gialos derives from the long and sandy beach, about 2 km, from the village. The clear and shallow waters are ideal for both children and adults alike.
Makrigialos village boasts an excellent selection of bars, restaurants, and tavernas, many fronting onto the beach. There is also a small fishing harbour - a pleasant place to stroll around, with its own patch of sandy beach and a cluster of waterfront bars, tavernas and restaurants.

Makry Gialos is definitely a place for those who would love to enjoy a delicious meal next to the beach.
