Back to newsA German travel outlet is highlighting a lesser-known Greek island as an alternative to Crete for visitors seeking beautiful beaches without the crowds. The article, published by Augsburger Allgemeine, points to the growing popularity of Crete as a reason travelers are exploring nearby islands that offer similar scenery, clear waters, and sandy beaches with fewer tourists. For visitors planning a trip to Crete, this reflects the broader trend of rising tourist numbers across the region. Those who prefer a quieter experience may want to consider shoulder-season travel to Crete (May, June, or September-October) or explore less-visited areas on the island's south and east coasts, where beaches remain far less crowded than popular spots on the north coast.
