Glyka Nera and Marmara: Two Special Beaches of Sfakia

From freshwater springs to white marble cliffs

Glyka Nera stands out for freshwater springs rising beneath its pebbles and the mountain towering behind it. Farther west, Marmara lies at the exit of Aradena Gorge and is known for striking white rock formations.

Both beaches are reached by boat or hiking trails, so carry water, sun protection and plan your return. The scenery and clear sea reward every visitor.
