Vai: Discovering a Heavenly Landscape in Crete

Those Cretans who make it to heaven can surely recognise their beloved land even amidst its heavenly surroundings.

Vai is undoubtedly one of the heavenly landscapes on the island of Crete. Nestled here is the largest and most famous native palm forest in all of Europe, and the beach in the area is equally renowned, standing as one of the most popular and beloved destinations for visitors.

Additionally, within the palm forest lies a small wetland, forming a unique and rare natural area that is protected and preserved for its ecological significance.

South of Vai, you'll discover charming coves, perfect for those seeking a romantic atmosphere. The main gate remains open throughout the day, and a convenient kiosk is available, providing water and snacks for visitors. 

The entire forest is enclosed by a fence, and camping among the palm trees is not allowed, as the fence is closed at night.
