Review:

Vai Beach is located on the northern shores of the island in the Lassithi area. It's a long beach formed in a gently curving shape which helps the waters here to be quite calm and gentle, ideal for young or inexperienced swimmers to splash and paddle without any danger. Vai Beach is one of the best family beaches on Crete and is surrounded on almost all sides by a truly enormous palm tree forest, giving it a real private island kind of vibe. As with many of the other best Crete beaches, many visitors instantly fall in love with this location and want to come back again and again.
