What's around me in Crete
Turn on location and this page sorts the whole island by distance to you: the calmest beach right now from live wind data, tavernas and restaurants nearby, sights worth the detour, your nearest KTEL bus stop with today's departures and the closest weather station. Everything is computed in your browser — your position is never sent to any server. Not in Crete yet? Pick a town and explore from there.
How do I find the nearest beach in Crete?
Tap “Show what's around me” on this page: your browser shares your position locally and we sort more than 180 beaches by distance, weighted by today's live wind, so you get the calmest water close to you.
How does the location feature work?
Geolocation runs entirely in your browser. Your position is never sent to our servers: the page loads the list of places once and the distance sorting happens on your device. You can also pick a town manually instead.
Does this page work without an internet connection?
You need a connection to load the page. Once loaded, the distance sorting works on your device; beach conditions and bus departures refresh every 30 minutes while you are online.
